Irish Travellers #2

Irish Traveller's Children - Jamie Johnson

Boys being Boys

 In the book’s foreword, Mary M Burke writes: ‘Among the special characteristics of the Traveller children is their passion for fashion. The boys are depicted looking sharp and tough while the girls are shown adorned in designer dresses’.

Growing up Travelling: The Inside World of Irish Traveller Children by Jamie Johnson is published by Kehrer

Irish Travellers #1

Irish Traveller's Children - Jamie Johnson

Girls being Girls

Jamie Johnson has spent more than 20 years photographing children. In 2014 she was invited to Ireland to document the Irish Travellers, a nomadic, ethnic minority who have lived on the margins of society for centuries. While the Travellers don’t usually welcome outsiders, Johnson’s kindness and respect won them over and she was granted access to photograph their lives and culture. (The Guardian)
