Originally a Photojournalist from Ireland I now reside in Seattle Washington USA. I currently work in a camera repair workshop.
I had a very brief rush with the raw side of life and bumped up against some real trouble as I self propelled myself into a few hotspots for instant cred, and came out in a state of depression, isolation and aimlessness.
I exited commercial photography until I moved to the US, shot briefly made a few repeat customers and I occasionally work for them -exclusively.

I am an active street photographer and have been throughout. I shoot constantly and and am mildly influenced by contemporary photography, and deeply influenced by people rather than other photographers.

I have buried myself in my subject matter obsessively since I moved to the US and ultimately since my divorce.

My life is my documentary, and how I am learning how to communicate and exist in this new life and in the process I am noticing changes in my self, which I want to document.

Im looking for a new job, please contact me directly.
