Paul Daly possesses the rare ability to capture the humanity of his subjects with his camera. He not only illustrates the newsworthy figures of the day for newspapers and magazines; through his photographs he tells the stories of people in ways that make you think. The emotions of love, joy, anger, intensity, and tenderness dominate his work. This striking collection covers the breadth of Daly s career, with photographs from Ireland, Newfoundland and Labrador, and around the world. Among his subjects are Bono, Mother Theresa, Governor General MichaÞelle Jean, Naomi Campbell, and former Taoiseach John Bruton. Straight Shooter is organized around Daly s work as a photojournalist, covering local and international themes, as well as the arts and sports. His perspective is sometimes political, particularly as he explores the theme of poverty versus wealth. A recurring theme is the relationship between Ireland and Newfoundland.
