Portraits of Barnsley Artists

Storying Barnsley commissioned Barnsley based photographer and mixed media artist Sean O'Connell to photograph a number of Barnsley's artists and creative practitioners in spontaneous photoshoots, capturing them in their natural environment.

The project ran for 12 months, culminating in a set of images that showcases the variety and talent of our local creative community.

On display at Library @ The Lightbox from 7 March - 11 April and at Barnsley Civic from 28 March - 30 April
