A Dun Laoghaire Harbour photo on a calm, still overcast day. Everything seems to slow down on days like this. Everything seems quieter. I had an idea to capture this scene for some time but like everything in life, it was a matter of waiting for the right moment. I love this view of Dun Laoghaire Harbour. Dun Laoghaire east pier and west pier appear in the background. The shorter pier dominates the foreground.

An epic panoramic large forest photo on Ross island. There is something incredibly spiritual about the wonderful native woodland forest on Ross island. Each time I go there I feel it. I always feel connected to nature whilst shooting there. Listening to the various sounds of the forest. I always feel grounded. I love the peace and quiet of this beautiful place. There were literally meadows of wild garlic in the forest on this sunny day in May. The sunshine yielded wonderful speckled light and shadow. A breathtaking forest in the most beautiful part of Ireland. I always seem to come back with a new forest photo of Ross island that I am truly happy with.
The level of detail in this photo is incredible. The image was captured on my Phase One IQ3100 and the incredible Rodenstock HR Digaron 90mm lens. It is a rotational panoramic large forest photo consisting of numerous images stitched together to create an image that is over 4m wide at 100%. Perfect for a client who wishes a large forest photo for their home or office. Each image is focus stacked. A time consuming process that ensures vivid detail in every part of the image. The result has to be seen to be believed. Feel free to contact me for more info.

As someone who has a number of years experience as a fine art photographer and an architecture photographer, I do love to combine the 2 where possible for my Dublin Photo Prints. Whether it be my urban environment photography of the Dublin Swimming Baths or photos of old historic buildings like Boland’s Mill. I have photographed a number of buildings for commercial clients around Grand Canal Dock over the years. For some time I was drawn to the relationship sun and shadow had with this particular office building. The use of discreet interior lighting in the ceiling creates an interesting affect full of light and shadow on the exposed services. Each time I walk around this building at Grand Canal Dock I find myself looking at the ceiling! I think it would make a wonderful Dublin Photo Print.

Ivy makes a wonderful photographic subject in an Irish Forest Photograph of Knocksink Wood. It’s vein like vines wrap around trees to create stark forms. On a personal level I have a great dislike for ivy when it attacks a tree like this. It it can eventually kill the tree on which it has made it’s home. It competes for light and nutrients and the added weight can eventually bring the tree or branches to the ground, like you see here.

The Central Bank of Ireland by HJL architects, located in Dublin’s Docklands was the first of a number of incredible news additions in the area that have transformed the Dublin urban landscape. In my option some of the best examples of commercial architecture in Dublin are found along this section of the Quays. The 3 dimensional cladding comes alive in the sunshine. Light and shadow create a great sense of depth in the afternoon sun.

A wonderful contemporary home designed by the very talented team in PAC studio. I am someone who has grown up and lived by the sea for much of my life. Working as a Modern Architecture Photographer is a true pleasure, especially on days like these. A vista of Dublin bay before me, on a wonderful day, in a stunning home doing the job that I love. This interior architecture image was part of my panel when I became 2019 FEP European Commercial Photograph Photographer of the Year.

This Autumn forest photo of the wonderful Knocksink Wood in County Wicklow is a testament to the Cycle of Life which exists all around us. I love the dark tones of the trees in the foreground. They are at various stages of their life cycle and contrast with the warmth of the autumn leaves in the background. There is nothing more beautiful than the golden colours of Autumn leaves in a tranquil forest setting. It is the time of year where the landscape appears about as perfect as it can be.

The overflow at the Silent Valley Reservoir in County Down is one of the most intriguing subjects I have ever photographed. I was immediately drawn to the organic forms of the overflow and have visited the area a number of times. On this occasion a heavy mist transformed the scene in a matter of minutes. This added to the surreality of the setting. The mist pretty much removed any sign of the natural landscape leaving the structures appearing isolated. This wonderful fine art landscape photo of the Silent Valley Reservoir in County Down screams for your attention when seen in print.

The Shallee Mine is a disused mine in Tipperary, located near the village of Silvermines. The Shallee mine was traditional in operation. It featured underground and open-cast mining, the use of a ball mill for crushing and a railway for conveying the ore. It was permanently closed in 1958. The caverns from the disused mine are truly spectacular. I spent 2 days photographing the Shallee mine. Sunlight lifted the dark shadows of the space revealing it’s hidden beauty. The rough golden rock was revealed. It was clear to me that it was cut with the blood sweat and tears of the miners. I can only imagine how tough these miners must have been. I doubt if too much high tech boring equipment was used here!
