A FASCINATING insight into the lives of gypsy families has been captured by a photographer who followed them for two years.

Belgian photographer Sebastiaan Franco took these shots while spending two years following the Keenan and Collins families on their site outside Dublin.

The images show Traveller families relaxing in pubs, attending funerals and getting glammed up for their lavish weddings.

Franco said he gained the families' trust by "essentially becoming one of them" over the two year period.

Irish Travellers have a population of around 40,000 so they are considered an ethnic minority.

They previously travelled across the country in clans, selling their wares or finding work with farmers to earn a living.
