Hello there folks!
So, you have come seeking more information about me. Welcome and if you have any questions do please get in touch.
I'm Neil — Irish, based on the road as much as at home, and a photographer for over fifteen years now. It didn't start as a career. It started as an excuse to be outside at the hours most people are asleep, chasing light that only shows up if you're patient enough to wait for it.
For a long time that stayed a hobby wrapped around what ever job would keep me. At some point the balance tipped — I cared more about getting one photograph right than almost anything else I was doing — and I made the decision to try this properly: full-time, professional, no safety net. That decision is the reason these workshops exist at all.
I've been lucky enough to work with some incredible organisations and people along the way — Tourism Ireland, Ryanair, Booking.com, and Lonely Planet, Brendon Van Son, Thomas heaton, Greg Snell and TRVL Photography among them - but the work that matters most to me is the work I do with small groups, in places I know intimately, teaching people to see the way I do.
None of this happens alone. My partner Orla keeps the books, keeps me sane, and jumps in behind a second camera for the YouTube channel when she can. We still travel together every chance we get and it is still our passion even after all these years. All of this, what you see on this website runs on her support as much as it runs on mine. Orla is my rock and without her beside me I would be lost. Thanks babe! The images below are a few of the moments we've shared along the way.
A tour moves people through a place. What I do is take a small group - six people, never more - somewhere EPIC, and teach you to see it the way I do: the Analog Ritual of slowing down, reading the light, and waiting for the moment instead of chasing it.
Travel is such a wonderful experience regardless of where you go, if it's down the road or to a waterfall a thousand miles away. Having the opportunity to document that, even if it's for nobody else, is a beautiful thing. I love to share the world with everyone and if we can take a few snaps along the way than even better.
"Neil is an exceptional photographer and guide. He took us to incredible locations, offered spot on advice, made everything easy, and helped me capture some of my best photos ever."
A few of my favourite travel memories — Cambodia, Thailand, Africa, and beyond.
From the temples of Angkor to the beaches of Cambodia and the cities of Thailand — these are the places that shaped my love for travel and photography.
Small groups, real mentorship, and the places I know best. See what's next on the calendar.
