I've been photographing friends and family since I went to Art College in Cork in the late 1970s.

I strayed from art into music and toured and recorded with an Irish traditional band for several years.

Music and photography blend well together because both require practice and patience.

I'm currently based in New York and am available for commissions anywhere in the world (well, almost!). I do family events, business events and pr assignments.

My clients include the National University of Ireland Galway Foundation, the Irish Lobby for Immigration Reform, Ceoltas, and the Irish Examiner.

My work has been featured in The Irish Times, The New York Sun, The Irish Voice, The Irish Echo, Irish America magazine, The Sydney Telegraph, The Irish Herald, Village Magazine, CNN, ABC News, NBC News, Fox News and The Associated Press.
