Clare County Council in partnership with Scarriff Library Gallery will present the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Exhibition 2025 with The Press Photographers Association Ireland from October 4 to 11, 2025.
The annual awards, now in their 47th year, recognise press photographers from around Ireland with a collection of 110 images that tell the story of 2024 in pictures. This is the second year the exhibition has been held in Scarriff.
One of the artists featured will be James Crombie of Inpho Photography, the overall winner of the AIB Press Photographer of the Year award of 2025. Best known for his work featuring a murmuration of starlings in 2022, the Westmeath photographer’s entry again featured wildlife leading to an action-packed winning portfolio. However, it was his sensitively planned image for Pieta House’s Darkness into Light campaign that features on the award catalogue cover.
Commenting ahead of the exhibition’s arrival to Clare, President of Press Photographers Ireland CLG, David Branigan, said, “We are delighted that our exhibition is visiting Scariff once again and we hope that visitors from the local area and beyond will enjoy browsing through the award-winning and highly acclaimed imagery which demonstrates the hard work and commitment of our Irish press photographers.”
All the winning and shortlisted images from the AIB Press Photographer of the Year 2025 can be viewed at the touring exhibition visiting various venues across the country over the coming year.
