I’m Michael and I’m a photographer based in Wicklow, Ireland. I graduated with MA (Hons) from The National Film School IADT-DL in 2002 and now teach film and photography in Bray. Primarily I shoot portraits (including actors headshots), streets and night shots (after getting my kids to sleep) I also shoot events and sports. Currently rediscovering analogue 35mm, learning Portuguese (slowly) and trying to get my retriever to sit still for a portrait.
