TITLE: Rush

This is an ICM image at my local beach of Long Strand in West Cork, Ireland. This is one of my favourite images and it screamed at me to be printed, which I duly obliged. This image signifies to me the rush of life, the rush of my photography and the importance to take stock and not rush.

Photography is my escape and my passion. I use long exposures & minimalism to capture not what is there but what I see. Photography lets me experience nature at its most beautiful and living in Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland, I am surrounded by endless beauty and inspiration. I love seeing my images come full circle from conception, to capture, to editing and finally to print.
