the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire disaster.
Grenfell Tower Fire .
I went to London to photograph the site of the Grenfell Tower fire.
Walking toward the burnt-out tower on one of the hottest days of the year, it was easy to imagine what it must have been like during the blaze. Only a few days had passed since the fire, and this was one of my first assignments outside Ireland. The raw emotion was powerful.
Firefighters arrived that day to pay their respects; Seeing men and women who fight fires break down and cry, and hearing them apologise for not being able to save more, is something I will never forget.

Black Lives Matter protests erupted worldwide, and Dublin joined in. Aside from anti-lockdown rallies, this was one of 2020’s largest protests. These photos come from two events by the same organisers:
