Award-winning photographer David Burns alongside some of his work
An exhibition by local photographer David Burns is being hosted by Edgeworthstown Library this month.
A native of Carrickboy, this is David’s first solo exhibition of photographs in his home county and is entitled ‘Everything I Do’. The exhibition runs at Edgeworthstown Library until Tuesday, April 30.
David’s lifelong interest in photography began as a young child when his grandmother gifted him a plastic twin-lens box camera. While in secondary school, he began processing and printing black-and-white photographs in the school darkroom, thanks to a teacher with a keen interest in photography, Gary Hill.

When he left school, he set up a home darkroom where he developed and printed his own black and white photographs. Since then, his photographic hobby has brought him all over Ireland and to Slovenia and Montenegro in Europe.
David’s main interest is landscape photography, but he loves to engage in the creative process and with many styles, concepts, and compositions.
Indeed, David’s creativity together with that of his wife Martina goes far beyond photography. As founders of Richmount Cordial Company they became artisan and sustainable growers of elderflowers and elderberries from which they produce and offer their renowned elderberry and elderflower drinks and cordials.
David has been a member of Midlands Photography Club in Athlone for many years having been invited to join following the disbandment of the former Longford Camera Club.

An award-winning photographer David’s most recent successes were achieved at the An Oige Photographic Group 84th Annual Exhibition 2023 where he achieved a Silver Medal in the B&W print Section and a Bronze for his colour image in the Digital section.
A selection of his fantastic images is now on display at Edgeworthstown Library and admission is free to all.
