About
Documentary Director of Photography
I am a freelance Director Of Photography and I make documentaries of historical, biographical and cultural significance.
I did not know from an early age that television would become my life’s work. I should have known, because I grew up on the Iveragh Peninsula of South Kerry surrounded by a family of storytellers and historians who championed their cultural heritage. What am I, if not a teller of visual stories? This sensibility informs all of my work. I believe that a powerful story is specific, yet universally true, and I love working on both local and international projects.
I bring a cinematic aesthetic to the projects I work on while taking a naturalistic approach to lighting. I have an inquisitive mind, a discerning eye and an empathic ear. I am a director of photography that brings a high level of technical expertise to all projects I work on and a genuine commitment to delivering an end result that will captivate, inspire and entertain your audience.
