This video really hits home. Having been to Syria just before the war began and knowing what atrocities have been perpetrated against such a handsome and treasured culture it makes me sick to think what may have happened to the friends I met there.
Shot in Paris earlier this year. I’m calling this one ‘Greatness’, because that’s what his hat says.

I just wanted to repost this to remind everyone of the beauty that has been lost to greed and wrath in Syria.Images of a Syria before the war. These images are very special to me. The heartbreaking fact is that none of these places look the same now, just 8 years later, some are just rubble. The people of Syria have lost great treasures that will never be reclaimed.

I love the sea, the coast, it’s peaceful and turbulent in equal measure. Having grown up on the coast in Ireland it also feels like home.

London, as seen from Waterloo Bridge. I was working on a commission for a private client and I took the opportunity to capture more of the city I live in.

I’m loving manual HDR composites at the moment, this image is made of six different exposures composited together. I want to push myself further with this so if anyone has any good tips or resources please lets share!
