Colm McCarthy

Colm McCarthy is an experienced photographer drawn to capturing people, moments, and subcultures, with a focus on the energy and atmosphere of spaces. His photography work centres around rave music and the culture within, documenting the connection and emotion found within this music and how it makes people feel, this he shows through his unique photography.

Being closely connected to the rave and music scene, McCarthy immerses himself within the crowd, allowing him to capture natural and authentic moments that show the pure euphoria music gives people. He works across both digital and analogue formats, using film photography to create raw and honest images through its distinctive process and feeling that is created from an image.

McCarthy captures core moments of life, of pure happiness, when you forget the camera is even there.
