I'm a Dublin architectural and interiors photographer passionate about capturing the beauty and detail of built spaces. I'm also available for corporate events, headshots, products and more. I enjoy trying something new, and recently found I was quite good at photographing extremely large machinery. Check out the Roadstone gallery.

My photography journey started early, evolving from portraits and weddings to my true focus: architectural photography.I had the valuable opportunity to develop my skills in New York State, working for five years as an assistant to Kim Smith (www.kimsmithphoto.com) a highly respected and incredibly talented architectural photographer. This experience provided invaluable insights into the field and shaped my approach to capturing spaces.

I moved to Dundalk, Ireland from the USA in 2017. Since then, I've been photographing projects in Dublin and across the island. I bring a careful eye for detail and a strong understanding of the technical side of photography to every project, ensuring each image effectively communicates the design and atmosphere of the space.I live north of Dublin city in Dundalk, Ireland, but it's a quick drive down the M1. The commute is just about as long from here to city centre as it would be from Dun Laoghaire.

A Personal Note

My work is informed by being on the autism spectrum (ASD). My flavour of ASD comes with less outwardly apparent traits. I was recently diagnosed in 2024. The positives are that it enhances my focus, attention to detail, and ability to see things from a unique perspective. The negatives is on occasion I may misunderstand or misinterpret something and have to ask for clarifications. I'm not quite as talented as some at the social side of business, and I think I'm a poor negotiator. That will likely work to your benefit. Many of those with ASD are very honest because they are bad at telling something not true. I will 100% agree that that is me. You can be confident in my integrity and straightforward communication. To ensure clear communication and a smooth workflow, I prefer email over a phone call, but I am still do not mind a phone call. Just between my American ears and my uniqueness, I get a little more confused on the phone.

Many adults have been diagnosed in recent years as they have grown in understanding ASD and have expanded the autism spectrum. ASD can affect anyone regardless of cognitive ability. A person similar to me that I feel communicates my style of ASD well is Kaelynn Partlow. You can learn more about her and ASD here on YouTube. She is an excellent public speaker, educator, and quite entertaining to watch as well.

I'm fluent in Spanish and very nearly have conversational German (it's hard!). Outside of photography, I enjoy reading (especially science and physics), roasting coffee, and flight simulation. I'm also an lover of board games. But not games like Monopoly! Real board games. Those that win the "Spiel des Jahres" awards (German "game of the year"). Azul, Alhambra, 7 Wonders, and Camel Up are some of my recent favourites.

Technology

I love technology (self described geek/nerd) as you can see in the above photo of me working on post-production in my office. Using those tech skills I do more post-production than many local photographers. My main method is taking multiple images of each composition with ambient light, and artificial flash lighting, then compositing the images in Photoshop. It can take from 3 to 20 or more images to make one final photo. But as with any form of art, the more time you invest, the better the final result.

My most used equipment includes the following:

• Camera: Sony Alpha 1 (50MP, 8K video)
• Lenses: Canon 17mm TS-E, Sony 24mm f/1.4 G Master, Sigma 50mm f/1.4 ART
• Lighting: Godox AD600BM II (Qty: 3), Godox AD200 Pro
• Post-production: MacStudio M1 Ultra 64GB
• Software: Adobe Photoshop & Lightroom

My Favourite Images of Ireland (so far)

Below are some highlights of what I photograph for fun. I think they are worthy to share. If you like them, you may order prints too.

The Dark Hedges

Bregagh Road, Stranocum, County Antrim

This is a popular stop for tourists now that it was a location featured in Game of Thrones. I'm in love with light and form. I wish maybe I had a little fog this day, but still love those shadows and patterns. (Nikon 70-200 f/2.8)

Auroras of Castle Roche

Castle Roche, 10 km north-west of Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland

This was both my first time seeing the northern lights or aurora borealis and my first time photographing them. I've been doing photography for over 25 years and cameras never cease to amaze me in how they can pick up so much light if you give them time. This was about a 30 second exposure. You can see MANY more stars and the auroras that were difficult to see until your eyes adjusted are brilliant and bright. It was incredible and this one is on my wall :)

The magic mist of Ireland

Castle Roche

This was one of the first photos I took of the 12th century castle. I absolutly love the textures in the grass and how, so often here the air has a warm mist that gives so much depth to the rolling landscape. Ireland is truly beautiful.

Mizen Head's Modern Arch: A Link to the Signal Station

Mizen Head, County Cork, Ireland

The image shows the Mizen Head Bridge, a striking concrete footbridge connecting the mainland to Cloghane Island at Ireland's southernmost point. The bridge spans a dramatic chasm with rugged cliffs, providing access to the Mizen Head Signal Station. It captures the raw beauty and wild, coastal scenery characteristic of Mizen Head.

The Rugged East

Near Clogherhead, County Louth, Ireland.

A lone figure stands on a grassy rise in the distance, providing a sense of scale against the vastness of the sea and sky. The scene highlights the raw, natural beauty of Ireland's eastern coastline.
