Shock To The System

If you're a Dubliner and on Facebook, chances are you've encountered the photography of Peter Fingleton.

Peter is still honing his craft at the National College of Art & Design but has already become one of the most sought after snappers in Dublin.

His photography forms the basis for much of his artistic output and he works freelance for various publications, but Peter's most widely known work is probably his distinctive and instantly recognisable nightclub photography.

Fed up of the constraints of having this work showcased on Facebook (and presumably the incessant tagging notifications) he has decided to launch a website, Sharp Shock, where he can present his work as he wants to.

The website gets its launch this coming Tuesday, 30th of March, in Dublin's Crawdaddy and guess what? You're invited. The event is being supported by Absolut Vodka, which means free cocktails for the early birds, and Eimear and I will be spinning some tunes to soundtrack the evening.

If you're not sold yet, check out these snaps that Peter recently took at Come As Soon As You Hear's 'Chat As Soon As You Roulette':
