Larrie Tiernan worked as a photojournalist in
Southern Africa, specialising in producing
educational materials for governments and NGO's,
including USAID, CAFOD and Christian Aid. He

Organisation and the Food and Agricultural
Organisation, as a media consultant. During the
1980’s, Larrie worked in community education within
the Handsworth district of Birmingham, motivating

themselves. This resulted in a number of
international touring exhibitions.

run an exhibition stand at Focus-on-Imaging (NEC),
