We had a great week in Paris at the beginning of February and, as usual, I took some photos. Highlights of the week included the Louvre, Musee D’Orsay, Versailles, Sacre-Couer and Gustave Moreau’s house. I really enjoy observing people in the presence of art, and there’s hardly a better place on earth to do that!…

Some photos, 360 photospheres and videos that I have shot.
Day of the dead
New year’s day 2023. It had been a while since I’d spent a bit of time on a landscape shot, and even longer since I’d taken and assembled a 360 image, so I popped up to our local graveyard and made some images. These were shot with a Canon 5DSR as 2-stop bracketed exposures and…
Sicily, November 2022
We spent a week in Sicily at the start of November – mainly in Palermo, with a couple of day trips to Agrigento and Cefalú. The weather was nice and the crowds a little lighter, so it was a great time to visit this beautiful Italian island. As is customary on our trips, a lot…
Winter in Dublin
To promote Dublin’s huge range of attractions, events, venues and activities on offer during the winter, we created this campaign for Fáilte Ireland with tailored content for November, December and January. The campaign included a 20″ ad for streaming services, TV stings, digital display, print and social ads in all the usual formats for each…
Rome
We went to Rome at the start of September 2022. It was still pretty much in peak tourist season and the weather was reaching close to 35 degrees, especially on the day we took an express train down to visit Pompeii. The crowds inside the Vatican made it feel like 45 degrees. We always enjoy…
Marble Arch Caves
Marble Arch Caves in Co. Fermanagh is one of the best showcaves in Europe. I’d highly recommend a visit! As part of the visitor experience, we created this short VR film, which visitors to the caves can experience in a new VR room at the visitor centre. I spent several days in the caves during…
Venice
I’m just back from an amazing week in Venice. I mean, the week itself was probably unremarkable, in the life of Venice, but the place is amazing. Quite unique, as far as I know. From the moment we landed at Venice airport, to the moment we landed back in Dublin, roads, cars, traffic, motorbikes, bicycles,…
Cracking view
Some 360 images from a VR tour I created for the beautiful penthouse apartment at Capital Dock. Below are some of the amazing views from the penthouse windows.
LIDL: The Big Save
To demonstrate LIDL’s great, high-quality range and excellent value for money, we enlisted 5 families to show the nation how much they could save by shopping at LIDL. Every week, we catch up with one of our families as they do the weekly shop in their local LIDL, then head home to unpack their groceries…
Unexpected Ballymaloe
Ivona Poljac and Isabel Harvey had a lovely idea for some social posts for Ballymaloe. The budget was tight so they asked me to take some studio shots that were then comped with stock location shots. I think they turned out great.
Firenze
I had the pleasure of spending a week in Florence recently. What an incredible city! It’s hard to believe that people could have made such amazing art so long ago, and that so much of it has survived intact. Every street, and every square has something stunning to admire. One of the things that struck…
Solstice
Some shots taken on the winter solstice 2018, Ratoath, Co. Meath. Exposure-merged HDR images, processed in split-tone.
Darkest days
We’re getting close now, to the darkest day of the year. I’ll be happy to be on the other side and heading towards daylight. In the meantime, it’s handy to be able to capture a few nice sunrises at the leisurely time of 8:45am.
