Tessy Ehiguese is a Fine Art and Fashion Photographer. She was born in Kaduna, Nigeria and spent most of her life in Dublin. She got into photography in her transition year at St Joseph’s in Lucan, and went on to study Creative Digital Media at TUD.
She has continued to pursue photography because of the ability it gives her to express her wild imagination. In 2020 she was awarded a Creative Ireland & Dublin City Council Diversity Commission. For this Public Art Commission curated by Photo Museum Ireland (formerly Gallery of Photography Ireland), Ehiguese wanted to acknowledge the creative, professional and entrepreneurial contribution that ethnic minority communities have made to Dublin City. She focused on the Asian and African diaspora working in Dublin City centre.
Her work has been purchased for the National Photography Collection at Photo Museum Ireland.
