My goal is to give my clients:
- Better marketing using documentary photographs that highlight the human aspect of their business.
- Photographs that reveal the pride, tradition, values, cultural identity and professionalism of their business and their personnel.
- Photographs that connect with their customers because of the human content. People like dealing with people.
I've photographed assignments around the world, and my work has appeared in magazines, promotional material, books, advertisements and annual reports as far away as China and Fiji.
I'm a member of the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) and have won 33 gold distinctions at its photography judgings.
I'm also a member of the Master Photographers Association (MPA).
My awards include:

I'm a documentary photography. Individuals and companies hire me to be their photojournalist.
I shoot for clients in Ireland and the UK, producing photographs of personnel, products and services. The pictures show the experience of using a product or a service, or the experience of doing something.
The companies I work for often have a strong sense of tradition, along with pride in their staff and their professionalism.
