in addition to working full time as a photographer, i am an established graphic designer/art director with 25 years experience. I have worked for leading design studios in Dublin, Australia, and the US.

I consistently think from an editorial POV due to my years creating advertising layouts for clients.
My expertise as a: cook, food and prop stylist, and photographer lends my extensive skill set very well to cookbook projects.

Boutique Hotel photography…
When it comes to boutique hotels, photography IS A crucial element in creating an unforgettable guest experience.
One of my main passions in photography is photographing stunning, intimate spaces. My eye for detail lends to my strength in capturing the beautiful characteristicS found particularly in smaller, more personal-style locations.
A boutique hotel's photography services should prioritize capturing the essence of the property, from its interior design to its amenities and local attractions. High-quality, carefully curated imagery can help convey the unique character and charm of the hotel, as well as its location and surroundings. By doing so, guests better appreciate the hotel's distinct personality and feel more immersed in their surroundings. Overall, photography can influence a guest's perception of a boutique hotel and should be given the attention it deserves.
I have worked for many high-profile editorial clients and hotel properties in this category, such as Conde Nast Traveller, The Blue Book Ireland, Tourism Australia and independent hoteliers around the globe.
