Walking Through Dublin’s Centre With My Camera

Some days I just feel like walking through Dublin with no plan, letting the city take me where it wants. Today I started at Trinity College, right in the heart of the city. The square there is always alive—students rushing to classes, tourists trying to find their bearings. Trinity itself is one of Dublin’s oldest landmarks, but for me, it’s simply a place where I like to stand for a moment and watch people move.

Walking Through Dublin’s Centre With My Camera

From there I headed to Dublin Castle. The courtyard feels different—quieter, more open—though you can still sense the weight of history around the stone walls. I’ve passed this place countless times over the years, but every time I take a photo here, I notice some small detail I’d never paid attention to before.

My walk continued towards Christ Church Cathedral. I decided to step inside this time. The atmosphere always shifts as soon as you enter—hushed, cool, a contrast to the busy streets outside. You can feel centuries of history in those arches, but for me, it’s also a space to slow down, to let the camera rest for a moment.


Then, of course, I couldn’t resist walking through Temple Bar. It’s always the same energy: music spilling out of pubs, groups of friends laughing, and tourists taking photos in every corner. Some people avoid it, but I find it fascinating—it’s loud, messy, full of life, and that’s what makes it worth photographing.

I wandered on through the narrow streets of the city centre, capturing faces, gestures, small moments of everyday Dublin life. People rushing to work, tourists hesitating at crossroads, street performers filling the air with music.

After living here for fifteen years, I can’t help but notice how little Dublin seems to change. Sure, new buildings rise in different parts of town, but the grey tones still dominate. The city feels busy, restless, sometimes even overwhelming. And yet, there’s something about Dublin that keeps drawing me back to these streets. I might not always fall in love with it, but I can’t stop photographing it.
