About Me

Camera History

I picked up my first camera in 2001, a Fujifilm Finepix 40i, my first digital camera. Photography for me always consisted of friends and social occasions, not very many romantic landscapes could be captured with such simplistic hardware. I soon moved on to the Fujifilm Finepix F10 which has remained in my pocket ever since. I highly recommend this camera for it has captured many short lived moments which would have only slipped away and remained in my memory.My Current Gear

Moving on to the SLR stage I bought my first Canon camera, the Canon EOS 400D, a fine low end D-SLR camera which taught me a lot about getting to grips with the more tasking areas of photography. In 2008 I purchased a Canon EOS 40D, a great semi-pro camera which has boosted my experience in photography to great lengths. Not only has it improved my experience with high speed photography, it has given me more confidence to get in there and capture the moment.

Photographic Experience

Born and raised in Ireland, I moved from the vast Curragh Plains in Co. Kildare to a very scenic, mountainous part of the country, South-west Kerry. Having access to stunning mountain ranges, coastal glaciated valleys and of course the beautiful sea side, I have been spoilt for choice in where to practice my photographic skills. Considering I have mostly been exposed to the natural elements of photography, you’ll notice a lot of my imagery is landscape and natural. Being in such a remote area does not permit much opportunity to practice technical, architectural or portrait.

I take a Candid approach to Photography.
