Dublin Fishing Shop After Dark Street Photography
Painted Fish and Old Lettering on Closed Shutters
With the shutters down, Rory’s Fishing Tackle becomes a different kind of Dublin street scene. Painted fish stretch across the corrugated metal, old shop lettering wraps around the corner, and the pavement sits empty below. I photographed the storefront after dark in 2019, drawn to the details that remain visible after a shop has closed for the day.
The corner gives the view two faces. On one side, green tones and painted forms sit beneath a worn sign; on the other, blue shutters catch brighter light. The narrow white signs between them repeat the words “Fishing Tackle,” turning the building’s edge into a strong vertical line. Above the shutters, dark blue woodwork and red brick bring another layer of texture. Light runs across the ridges of the metal, so the painted images break into fine horizontal bands as you look more closely.
I wanted to retain the storefront’s ordinary character. Its lettering, chipped surfaces, and painted shutters say more about this particular corner than a wider view could. The closed shop has a quieter presence, but it still carries the visual energy of its signs and colours. This print offers a Dublin photograph for someone who enjoys street details and the city’s less formal moments. It can bring rich blue and green tones into a room, with a subject that rewards looking beyond the first impression to the small traces of use across the facade.

About My Fine Art Photography
Every photograph in my collection comes from my own travels, explorations, and years behind the camera.
I create my work as photographic art rather than mass-produced decoration. From street portraits and abandoned places to landscapes, architecture, and the unusual subjects I discover along the way, each image begins with something that made me stop and look.
My photographs are available in multiple sizes so the same image can work in anything from an intimate wall space to a large statement installation.
