My work is titled “Setting the Scene”. Through photographic images of the landscape and nature, including a wide variety of subjects and locations across Cork and Kerry, I share with you the hidden stories in these places. I believe that the sites we visit and wander into has something to share with us.

For years I’ve had a fascination with the natural environment. Every place is unique, no two places are the same. I wish to highlight how we can communicate and appreciate the natural distinctiveness that is around us. I am influenced by artists such as Turner, Friedrich, and Adams. I look towards the sublime and also quieter moments that are to be found in natural settings.

When it comes to capturing the work, I tend to “Shoot First, Ask Questions Later”. I capture whatever catches my eye. It may be the whole image or a small fraction of it. Overtime the stories begins to reveal itself. One image could be based on the human psyche, one might be a representation of current events, while another may have a more spiritual meaning behind it. Another factor to take in is the print itself. The size and positioning of each print have been carefully considered to maximise its full potential within the installation. Overall personally, seeing this world in a new light can be beneficial for all viewers.
