From a Chance Cycle to My First Dressage Photography Sales
For some time now I’ve admired the work of equestrian photographers and wondered how to dip my toe into this genre of photographic art. Horses combine elegance, athleticism, personality, and movement in ways that make them incredibly compelling subjects, but until recently I hadn’t found the right opportunity to explore that world properly. Last week,

An Afternoon Delight
Last month while visiting Lisbon I arranged my first shoot with the beautiful Diana Mendelson. We had four hours and decided to shoot some indoor and street images in the late afternoon to make the most of the evening light. Starting indoors we explored the space to find interesting light and space to make some

Skye Light
Last weekend I had the pleasure of introducing the lovely Skye to my Fine Art Photography workflow. Before the shoot I shared my Session Style Guide to give some thoughts on wardrobe and overall look and feel for the day. We were going to start the shoot with a warmup posing session, but before we

Why I Photograph Pets
For the past few years, life reminded me how fragile time can be and how much the small, ordinary moments matter. Photography has always been my way of noticing, of making sense of the world.

It also puts a halt to some of my more creative endeavours like photography, and especially model photography which tends to need a little more

A new year Resolution
I’ve noticed over the years my seascape images tend to have very little human features present, favouring the natural beauty of the sea, the light, and the endless changing weather, all combining to form an invinite set of possible vistas to study. So in 2025 I think I’ll be less strict on excluding human impact,

Autumn in Winter
It seems to me autumn leaves fell very late this year. Perhaps the mild season is part of a longer growing season and later falls of leaves each year due to climate change. I visited Cloughlea(gh) [spelling varies] woods in Co. Wicklow this weekend and since I had company and an impatient golden retriever with

A Beautiful Light
After 5 years of messaging back and forth I finally got to work with Stephanie Dubois on a remote shoot last February. Such a beautiful person to know and work with. R.I.P. Stephanie.

A new dawn
We could all do with some hope around now. I was fortunate enough this weekend to have the opportunity to assist my son to help document his final year art project. So we headed across lough mask in kayaks, pre dawn yesterday morning to film and capure an amazing scene. I was just documenting the

EFIAP Silver Distinction
This week I received news I achieved the EFIAP Silver distinction for works I have entered mostly in the past year to international photographic salons. I’m wondering now would I have put in the work to achieve this had it not been for the confinement of Covid-19. I had previously received my EFIAP Bronze in
