About
As part of Cushendun's Culture Month, the Old Church Centre is delighted to host 'Reflection', an exhibition of work by Cathal McNaughton, a multi-award-winning photojournalist currently based in Ireland. After winning the Pulitzer Prize in 2018 for his coverage of the Rohingya refugee crisis in Myanmar and Bangladesh, Cathal relocated back to Ireland where he is continuing his work documenting people and places.
Previously Cathal was chief photographer for Reuters in India and has travelled extensively in Asia covering news stories of world importance. He also worked for Reuters in Europe, the Press Association and The Daily Telegraph - and his work regularly features in leading publications across the globe.
Cathal's photography has won him major accolades including POYI, U.K Press Photographer of the Year, Royal Photographer of the Year and Environmental Photographer of the Year. His work capturing the struggle of the exiled Rohingya Muslims saw him awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Photography in New York in 2018.
Born during the height of 'The Troubles,' Cathal was inspired to become a photographer after meeting photojournalists from across the world who were working in Ireland during the civil unrest. This exhibtion includes work from Bangladesh, India Bhutan and closer to home.
