Living in the North-west of N.Ireland, I am very lucky to have some breathtaking scenery right on my doorstep. So, as can been seen from my photos, they are predominantly of this area of outstanding natural beauty. I am also lucky to live close to Donegal in the Irish Republic which allows me to photograph another beautiful part of the world. The landscape on the western seaboard of Ireland is truly wonderful and unspoilt. Photographing the landscape means photographing something that is not there, as it is all about the light and the quality of that light. For myself, landscape photography is a spiritual journey and my inspiration, especially for black and white photography, comes from the legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams (1902-1984) whose photographs of the American West are breathtaking.
