Steve Pyke: Scribendi

Portraits of Irish Writers, 1985-2025

“I come from the English Midlands, but I became a photographer in Ireland. I made my first portraits in Dublin in the early 1980s. It was immediately apparent to me then how important Irish writers are to their country, in a way I never saw in England or elsewhere.”

Steve Pyke has spent forty years photographing the Irish writers whose works have excited him and now 100 of those portraits have been collected into Steve’s latest book Scribendi, “to write.”
