The photographer
I haven't always been a photographer. Until 2005, I was a computer systems engineer in the US. A digital camera, a love of wild places, and a mother's firm encouragement changed everything.

The beginning
From Systems Engineer to Artist
Around the year 2000, I bought my first digital camera and started to take an active interest. By today's standards, it was pretty laughable, but the combination of art and gadgetry had me hooked.
In 2005, I moved back home to Ireland and took the leap into photography as a career. I owe much to my mother who, battling the onset of dementia, in a moment of lucidity told me quite firmly that I should absolutely do it. It's amazing how a mental roadblock can so simply be removed.
I decided early that I was drawn not to crowds, but to the outdoors, and to the wild places. Landscape photography is what I love. Photographing the world lets me pass on to others a little of what I feel when in nature at its most beautiful.
The expeditions
From West Cork to the Antarctic
I moved to rural West Cork in 2007 and started running workshops. At first they were one-day sessions, then weekend group seminars that evolved to 7- and 10-day workshops focusing on the wild scenery of my southwestern Ireland home.
Since then, I've led workshops all over the world — in Iceland, Scotland, Svalbard, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Antarctic. The drama of these landscapes draws me back again and again.
The prints
From Gallery Walls to Yours
In 2011, I opened a retail gallery in Killarney, Co. Kerry — and later in Kinsale, Co. Cork. Running those spaces taught me something invaluable: nothing is better than experiencing other people enjoying your work. Seeing a customer connect with a photograph in person shaped how I think about every print I produce.
These days the gallery is in Glengarriff, Co. Cork, on the Wild Atlantic Way. If you're passing, do call in. There's no substitute for seeing a photograph properly printed and framed in front of you.
Today, every photograph is hand-signed and produced using archival, museum-grade materials — the same quality I insisted on for the gallery walls. Each one is made to last a lifetime.

His gallery was welcoming and the images were beautiful captures of nature's glory. I fell in love with The Black Valley on first sight. The print is not a passive image, but rather one that invites you in to explore, wander and wonder.
