about

I am a nature lover and have a passion for photography and film. I always have a camera on me, looking for something to catch my eye,
for still or moving images.

20 Years of Experience

I have been working as a photographer and visual artist for over 20 years. I enjoy shooting on film and digital. I have an affection for 35mm, 120 medium format film and combining vintage lenses with digital. I also hold A1, A2 & A3 drone licenses. I find joy in nature and exploring the connections between humanity and the natural world. Over the years I have written and directed a number of short films. I first fell in love with photography as a teenager when I inherited an old camera.

Education

I went on to study fine art photography in 2004 at Marino College and worked under professional photographers as an assistant. From 2006 to 2009 I completed a BA Hons Degree in Film and Video Production with two years at Coláiste Dhúlaigh CDFE in Dublin and a final year at the University of Wolverhampton in the UK. My 2008 graduate film was selected by RTE for their Short Screen Series. I received recognition and awards for my writing and short films as a student. This gave me a drive to explore independent projects. In 2016 I graduated from DIT (Now TUD) with a BSc in Digital Technology and Design.
