For the past two years, Irish photographer and filmmaker Ross O'Callaghan has been photographing men named Paddy, Pat and Patrick from all over Ireland. His goal: Showcasing the diversity of the contemporary Irish male and challenging the common stereotype of the "Irish Paddy."
Some of his "Paddies" include double Olympic bronze medal winning boxer Paddy Barnes; comedian and TV presenter Patrick Kielty, PGA Championship golfer Padraig Harrington; and award-winning architect and part-time farmer Patrick Bradley.
Now he'll unveil a showcase of 50 powerful portraits in New York City through several events:
— March 14: A public exhibit at Lume Studios (393 Broadway in Tribeca)
— March 15-22: The world premiere in Pershing Square outside Grand Central Station
— April 12-19: On view at the New York Irish Center (1040 Jackson Avenue in Queens)
