Colin Aherne is an Irish photographer based in Berlin, Germany, where he works on projects that are a mix of personal and documentary works, with a focus on place, connection and small stories within a larger context. He also makes music under the alias fields and at times combines the two, making an immersive experience of photography and sound.
