I have been interested in photography all my life. I started taking photographs at the age of 11, when my father gave me my first camera. An uncle, Fr. Brendan Duggan, gave me another one when I was 14 and for me there was no looking back.

In 1991 I produced a series of postcards for Treaty 300, which commorated the signing of the Treaty of Limerick in 1691. In the same year I enrolled in a photography course in Dublin. Soon after, I entered and came second in the 1992 Fuji Portfolio Awards, which took place against all photographic students in the country.

The following September, I was offered a place on the Cross Border Partnership to go to the United States for three months. I then received my City and Guilds Cert in November of 1993.

In 1994, I produced a series of work which was exhibited in Limerick City Hall for two weeks.

 

I then went on to start work in a Dublin photographic studio processing and printing photographs. Finally, I began my own freelance business in 2000, working for the University of Limerick and the Limerick Leader. I am a Licentiate member of the IPPA.

This year I received two national awards from the Irish Professional Photographers Association for my wedding work. I also received several national awards for my work. It is nice to be recognized by my peers. It makes my work all the more satisfying.

At age 31, I am still passionate about photography more than ever. This website contains a selection of my work from weddings, portraits, Limerick landscapes and night shots.
