Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

I turn 29 today, been doing photography around 6 years now and this is probably still one of my favourite images to date. Tough to get creative at this iconic spot but the conditions on this particular evening were incredible. Almost a year to the day too! Have a good weekend 👌🏻

I’m delighted to be back on Achill Island again for the start of my 2023 workshops. I’ve a feeling this place will be a lot more crowded than usual in the coming months. #achill #BansheesOfInisherin

Hiking through a valley in Connemara I came across this old tree growing out of the verge. Knew it would make a brilliant subject for an image and all I had to do then was wait for the light. Taken a few weeks ago. 📍Inagh Valley
