The Dublin Street Photography Festival (DSPF) is a photography festival that aims to promote street photography as an art form and a form of cultural communication. None of our activities would be possible without the support of our main sponsor McGarrell Reilly Group, and our hosts: Charlemont Square. We would also like to thank the many friends of the festival for their support. We would like to express our gratitude to the amazing judges and guest photographers for helping to make our festival a best-in-class event for street photography. Finally, we would like to thank our volunteers for their hard work and support.

About Stéphane Kyndt

Stéphane Kyndt is a professional photographer since 1997. Initially traversing paths in business and psychology,

Stéphane's pivot  towards photography was a revelation. Through self-teaching and relentless  practice, he honed his skills, delving deep into the intricacies of framing,  technique, and storytelling.  Over time, he forged a distinctive photographic style characterized by its  humanistic ethos, rich colors, warmth, and an unwaveringly positive outlook  on life. 
Sté Kyndt's odyssey led him across continents, where he spent a decade in  Los Angeles , serving as a photo correspondent specializing in celebrity  photography.  Yet, Stéphane's wanderlust was far from satisfied.

He returned to his  homeland, France, only to continue his globetrotting adventures. His work has taken him across the globe, from Madagascar to Colombia,  from Morocco to Uruguay and in many other countries in Europe.  
His photographic expeditions, often centered on documentary and street  photography, serve as poignant testimonies to the human condition and the  myriad facets of culture and society.  Each frame tells a story, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the  narrative woven by light and shadow, color and contrast. Reflecting on his journey, Sté Kyndt muses, "There is magic in photography,  and this magic does not fade with time, quite the contrary... It’s the eternity  of yesterday."  
Through his lens, he invites us to embrace the vivid spectrum of life, to savor  its vibrancy, and to find beauty in the ordinary.
