Life and work

Ogden was born in 1961 in Shropshire, UK. [1] He grew up in London, was educated against his will at Eton College and moved to Ireland in 1985.[ citation needed ] He is now based in Dublin.

While at Eton, he produced a magazine called Lipstick in 1979. He spent two years making portraits of the young riders and dealers in Smithfield horse market in Dublin, for his first book Pony Kids (1999). [9]

Inspired by what he had witnessed making Pony Kids, [7] Ogden's first feature length film was Pavee Lackeen: The Traveller Girl (2005), a documentary-style semi-improvised drama about Irish Travellers. [10] [11] He cast several members of the Maughan family as close versions of themselves and "wrote a script that draws on the Maughans’ experiences of living in a trailer on the edge of Dublin and encountering the sharp end of Irish bureaucracy." [7]

Two brothers, boxers Paddy and Liam Doran from a Traveller family in Celbridge, County Kildare, modelled for Ogden when they were between ages 10 and 16, for various fashion campaigns. Ogden used these photographs for his book Paddy and Liam (2018). [4] [5]
