I began taking photographs in 2006. Unfortunately I lost most of them in a freak IT hiccup in 2013. The photos on this website have been collected since 2014, when I eventually got the heart to begin taking shots again. 

I am from Cork but living in Dunhill, Co. Waterford. I have a big interest in sport, theatre, music and literature. That keeps me busy. When I am not writing, directing or acting in plays, I am supporting Cork, Liverpool FC and the New York Knicks for my sins. Occasionally I can be found with a camera in my hand. 

I work with Sony and Canon Cameras. The Canon 5D Mark 3 was my go to camera since it arrived on the market in 2014 until 2021. I used 2 of them as well as the Canon 5D Mark 4 and the Canon 1D X ii. Nowadays I shoot mainly shoot with the Sony A7R5 or the A74 (I have 2 of them) - Mirroless Full Frame Cameras. I tend to keep different lenses on the different cameras and so instead of changing lenses, I change cameras. This can be very helpful in the field for speed and I am often seen with 2/3 cameras in hand or over my shoulders. Favourite lenses would include 16-35mm Sony G Master lens, the Sony G Master 90mm Macra lens, the Sony 24-105mm G lens, the Sony 100 - 400 G Master lens and the Canon L 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Like a lot of other photographers I have Zeiss, Sigma, Samyang and Tamron lenses but they only get brought out occasionally.

Since Lockdown 1 in 2020, I have taken up Vlogging and produce these vlogs on my Youtube Channel. They are landscape and travel photography vlogs. Unfortunately, I have not had the time to bring out many vlogs recently because of work time constraints but have travelled all over Europe in a Van I bought exclusively for photography taking photos and video and presenting these in vlog form.

I am a member of the Dungarvan Camera Club.

I hope you enjoy the pictures on this website. I will change them regularly to keep the site fresh.
