Arthur Fields (photographer)
Arthur Fields (born Abraham Feldman; 1901–1994) was an Irish street photographer, who took more than 180,000 photographs of pedestrians on the south end of Dublin's O'Connell Bridge for more than 50 years.
== Background and career ==
Fields was born into a Ukrainian Jewish family who fled antisemitism in Kiev in 1885, and later settled in Dublin. Fields originally ran a sound studio where people could make a recording of their own voice, but later began his photography when he bought a box camera.〔 Fields switched to a Polaroid instant camera later in his career. Field's brother was also a photographer on the bridge.〔 Fields' extensive photographs are recognised as a social record of Dublin from the 1930s to the 1980s, depicting the changing fashions and shopfronts of the city.〔 Nelson's Pillar often featured in Field's photograph until its destruction by Irish republicans in 1966.〔
Fields took an estimated 182,500 photographs of pedestrians on the bridge from the early 1930s until 1985.〔 Notable people photographed by Fields on the bridge included the playwright Brendan Behan, the actors Margaret Rutherford and Gene Tierney, and Prince Monolulu, who claimed to be a chief of the Falasha tribe of Abyssinia, and who wore a headdress and a fur coat.〔〔 Fields lived in the Dublin suburb of Raheny, and would walk seven miles to and from the bridge each day to work.〔 Field's modus operandi would be to "pretend to take a picture of a passer-by and, when they stopped, he'd take the real one. Then he'd give them a ticket and they could collect the photograph from a nearby studio run by his wife. She developed all the photos."〔
