Ten Miles Round, Jackie Nickerson (Pre-order)

In 'Ten Miles Round', acclaimed photographer Jackie Nickerson offers an intimate portrait of the close-knit farming community in County Louth, Ireland, where she made her home. Through portraits, landscapes and still lifes, Nickerson explores the complex relationship between people and place, revealing how our surroundings shape our identities, traditions and sense of belonging. Finding beauty in the muddy, imperfect realities of everyday life, her photographs look beyond the physical landscape to explore the less visible aspects of community: its relationships, resilience and shared sense of history. Her subjects are sometimes reserved, sometimes direct, reflecting the complexities of a community rooted in its heritage while navigating a changing world. Both deeply personal and universal in its themes, 'Ten Miles Round' offers a compelling reflection on what connects us to the places we call home. Originally exhibited at the Gallery of Photography (now Photo Museum Ireland) in 2009, this significant body of work is brought together in a new photobook published by Steidl. 'Ten Miles Round' launches at Photo Museum Ireland Wednesday 4 November 2026.
