Landscape Photographer
What was your path to becoming a Landscape Photographer & What was your first camera?
What was your favourite Landscape Adventure Story since becoming a Photographer?
A very recent trip actually! My boyfriend Josh, and I are both avid astrophotographers, so during the summer we had been planning our shots for the Perseids meteor shower in August. However, on that specific week, the forecast was terrible – and not just in Connemara, but all over Ireland (though I am aware some people did find gaps in the clouds).

What was your worst in-the-field experience as a landscape Photographer?

Where is your favourite Location in Ireland to Photograph & Why?
What is your favourite photograph, that you’ve taken to date, & Why?

What equipment / Setup are you currently using?
I am happily set up on the Sony A7RIII and a few lenses as I have far too many areas of interest when it comes to photography (astro, landscape, wildlife, surf ICMs and in-water photography).
- Sony A7RIII
- Sony G OSS 200-600mm (for wildlife and surf ICMs)
- Sony G OSS 24-105mm (amazing everyday lens)
- Sony GM 24mm (astro mostly)
- Sony Zeiss FE 1.8 55mm (surf in-water photography, astro and other)

Best Advise you’ve personally been given?

Who is your favourite Irish photographer at the moment ?
or biodiversity photography, I am loving Vivian Philips’ work, she has some incredible shots of stags from during the rut for example.
For surf photography, I am a huge fan of Darragh Gorman, he was the photographer who inspired me to try surf ICM shots and it’s an incredibly fun style of photography. For astrophotography, Felix Sproll is fantastic. It is worth noting that he is also very talented at daytime landscapes.
For landscape photography, I can’t put one ahead of the other but both Sean O’Riordan and Bernard Geraghty are superb photographers who I really admire.
