- Illustrative Portrait
What a fantastic moment for Julia Dunin, for Team Ireland and for Irish photography.
Visit the World Photographic Cup website right now and the very first image you are greeted with is by Irish photographer Julia Dunin — the image that earned her 3rd place and a Bronze Medal in the Illustrative Portrait category at the World Photographic Cup.
That is a wonderful honour for Julia, but it is also a powerful reminder to photographers across Ireland of what is possible.
The first impression belongs to Ireland
Julia’s image is not simply listed among the results. It is currently the first visual visitors see when they arrive on the international WPC website.
Next year, that could be your image.
International competitions can feel as though they belong to somebody else. But every image that reaches that stage begins with a photographer deciding to put their work forward.
It is very easy to look at an international competition and think your work is not ready, that somebody else will have something stronger, or that you do not have a chance.
Do not make that decision for yourself.
If you have an image you believe in, show us. Give the Team Ireland selection panel the opportunity to see it.
Every image that reaches the world stage starts with a photographer being brave enough to put it forward. Julia’s achievement shows once again that Irish photography belongs on that stage.
What could Team Ireland achieve in 2027?
