Frank Callaghan (b. 1980, England; lives and works in Manila, Philippines) is a photographer who works in near darkness. He creates images using long exposures to accumulate the subtle light that we often overlook at night. His stripped down practice explores the fundamental mechanisms of his medium, like exposure and the compression of photographic space. He is interested in photography’s ability to capture ideas that words cannot.

Callaghan’s work has been exhibited in Manila, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Denmark, and the United States. He received the Ateneo Art Award in 2015 for Dead Ends, and was shortlisted for the same award in 2010 for Dwelling and in 2011 for River of Our Dreams.
