Closed shops on streets of Dublin | Limited Edition of 10
Fine Art Print of Dublin Shops After Dark
This is the side of Dublin most people walk past without noticing. It’s late. The street is empty, wet with rain. The metal shutters are pulled down tight. Rory’s Fishing Tackle, painted in vibrant graffiti, stands quietly at the corner, waiting for morning. You don’t always see Dublin like this—no crowds, no pubs spilling music, just the quiet, raw reality of a city after hours. It’s this quiet reality I wanted to capture in this fine art wall print.
The colours on the shutters stand out boldly against the night. Graffiti wraps around the storefront, fish swimming through painted waves and words. Each line, each colour tells a different story—unpolished but vivid. The store signs, slightly worn, promise fishing tackle and gear seven days a week, even though right now it’s just darkness behind the metal.
I didn’t frame this to look pretty or nostalgic. It’s about capturing what’s real—an urban street corner in Dublin, the kind you don’t usually pause to see. Dim streetlights light the cobblestone street and faded bricks. Every detail—from the chipped paint to the shadowy edges—feels genuine, lived-in, and human. This fine art wall print isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing the city as it really is when no one’s looking.
There’s beauty in these closed shops, in the quiet moments of urban life that rarely get attention. Rory’s Fishing Tackle isn’t glamorous. It’s just authentic. Dublin, stripped down to its after-hours reality, feels more alive in its silence than in the busiest daytime rush. That’s exactly why I took this photograph—so you could see that too.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
