Welcome to my world

Ten collections of my photographs have been published in book form and I have exhibited widely.
I started my career as a hard-news freelance photo-journalist in 1987 covering humanitarian crises and political upheavals, mainly in central and north eastern Africa but also in eastern Europe and north America. I have been commissioned by or my work has appeared in all the major Irish and international newspapers and magazines including the New York Times and The Sunday Times (UK) and Irish Times and Sunday Tribune (Ireland).

Additionally, I receive commissions from publishers and creative bodies to work on various photographic briefs such as event documentation and press publicity photography. In my photographic work I try to make expressive, simple images.

I travel to search for universal themes; it is my desire to hunt for images in every part of this wonderful world and I am convinced that all human conditions, interactions and daily dramas are playing out right in front of us, whenever we take the time to stop and look.
The whole world is right there to be grasped whenever and wherever we may be. We just need to be receptive to it.

"....for the passionate spectator, it is an immense joy to set up house in the heart of the multitude,
amid the ebb and flow of movement, in the midst of the fugitive and the infinite."
Charles Baudelaire
