Dara Munnis
If you’ve never heard of Dara Munnis, you’ve surely seen his work. He’s the man behind the lens for many of Hozier’s iconic photos.
Dara also plays keyboard and this week was part of this Hudson Taylor all star release also featuring Wyvern Lingo. (Full list of players in the video description.)
Dara also happened to be in Paris this week at Hozier’s show at the Folies Bergère. You can see him with camera in hand capturing the bow.
