Michael Kennedy

Michael Kennedy is a Fine Art / Documentary photographer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

His first project was documenting his Grandparents and how they live day to day combating the effects of his Grandmother’s dementia and the tole that it takes on his Grandfather. 

His second project is about a new wave of masculinity emerging in the 21st century, showcasing the delicate “softer side” of what it is like behind the emotional wall that many men build around themselves.

By breaking down that wall, the project aims to let men express themselves by surrendering to the camera being open and honest, pushing back against centuries of toxic, oppressive masculinity.

His work is based in showing people’s vulnerabilities and bringing awareness to different experiences or challenges we face in the everyday.
