Books

I am the author of two books on lighthouses

I have also made a postcard of every major lighthouse on the Irish coast, and the set of 99 includes smaller lighthouses and a lightship.

Advertising

One of my aerial shots of Castletownbere features on the cover

of the Beara Business & Social Directory 2010/2011

My work appears in brochures like the beautifully produced brochure for the Olde Bakery Restaurant. I supplied all the scenic shots and the interior ones. A great place to have a meal

You will see my photographs on the covers of magazines, for instance the Go Ireland hiking brochure

This aerial shot of mine graced two calendars for 2010, Beara Oil and also Murphy's Supervalu

My work can be seen advertising Beara on the MV Julia the Swansea to Cork car ferry. Also promoting hotels, B&Bs, if you look at www.BearaTourism.com most of the pictures were taken by me. You will also see my work in the Irish Landmark Trust brochures:

the one they use of Galley Head lighthouse for example.

Gear

I use top of the range Canon cameras, 21.1 and 12.8 mega pixels with non digital cameras as back up for legal matters which require the use of film

Skills

Aerial, landscape and interior photography. I also take pictures of Confirmation, Christenings and Family Groups. Taking pictures of houses, both inside and out for holiday companies, business card use, and brochures. I have 30 years experience with cameras. I know what a good print looks like and go the extra mile to make sure my work is printed to perfection. I do not accept excuses, my work is perfect first time or it doesn't go out to the customers. I give digital slide presentations of my work.

Achievements

I have photographed every lighthouse on the Irish coastline. I was the first person to make a postcard of every lighthouse on the Irish coastline. Many were aerial shots. I also published a book on Irish lighthouses. I made my own website and relish in the fact that in Google searches I am found in the first six on a regular basis. One of my pictures was used on a postage stamp. My photographs have been used for numerous calendars, including The Commissioners of Irish Lights and local businesses.
