AIB Press Photographer of the Year Exhibition
Clare Arts Office in conjunction with Scariff Library Gallery is delighted to present the AIB Press Photographer of the Year Exhibition 2025 with The Press Photographers Association of Ireland (PPAI).
This is the second year the exhibition has been held in Scarriff.
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.
Featured artists include James Crombie, Inpho Photography, overall winner of ‘AIB Press Photographer of the Year’ award 2025.
Best known for his global sensation 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's Darkness into Light campaign that features on the award catalogue cover that confirms Crombie's skill and adaptability.
All the winning and short-listed 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.
