Welcome!

These pages feature a selection of my best photographs for you to look at & purchase.

I started becoming interested in photography when my Dad gave me my first camera… I must have been about 8 or 9 at the time. My Dad was always taking photos, and so to me it seemed natural to be carrying a camera all the time. As a result, there exist many many photographs of me and my brother as children – a fact I never thought I would appreciate, but now I’m starting to treasure these images.

I’m probably a bit old-fashioned in that I still own a Canon A1… And I don’t believe that owning the latest technology necessarily produces good pictures. I’m not too keen on digitally enhancing my photos, so I tend to just do what I see as the bare minimum. Perhaps some straightening/cropping, but not a lot more if I can help it. And no, I don’t use photoshop!

I am currently based in Cork, and many of the images on this site were taken either in the North of England or in South-West Ireland. This reflects the places I have spent the most time in during the last 5 or 6 years. After a trip to New Zealand in 2009, I am gradually adding some of the photos from this amazing journey, too.
I am interested in landscapes, as well as the natural world in general (especially birds), but also in unusual views of everyday places and objects.

Most of these images were taken using a Fuji FinePix S9600, although some of my images were taken with other cameras. I have just acquired a Pentax K200d so will be adding more photos shortly.
