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 Canon and Sony Cameras. The Canon 5D Mark 3 has been my go to camera since it arrived on the market in 2014. I use 2 of them as well as the Canon 5D Mark 4 and the Canon 1D X ii. I shoot with the Sony A6400 and the Sony A7R3. 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 L lens, the Singma G Master 90mm Macra lens, the Sony 24-105mm G-Master lens, the Canon L 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and the Sigma 150-600mm lens for wildlife & sports shots but I use Zeiss, Sigma, Samyang and Canon lenses. 

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 been able to travel as much as I would wish because of Covid but have travelled all over Ireland, Northern Ireland and Scotland taking photos and video and presenting these in vlog form.

I am a member of Waterford Camera Club and you can go on to the website at https://www.waterfordcameraclub.com

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