Dublin: 14 photos that will change your perspective on the city Close

A bird's eye view from the top of the Spire. Snow billowing about Grattan Bridge. A curious deer in Phoenix Park.

It takes a special eye to make the familiar seem exotic.

But that's exactly what photographer Paul O'Connell has done.

Since getting his first camera at the age of 12, O'Connell has been experimenting with new ideas and techniques around his native Dublin. His work ranges from creative, interior and portrait to music photography - and he also specialises in Google Business View Photography.

It was his knack for capturing unique angles to the city that caught our eye, however.

Take a look through the gallery above, and you'll get a feel for his different perspectives - we particularly love the photos he grabbed from the top of the Spire during a maintenance operation.
