Photographer, educator and Nikon Z reviewer in West Cork
Honest Nikon Z reviews, photography workshops on the Wild Atlantic Way and relaxed family portraits — from a photographer who has always lived beside this coast.
Hello, I’m Kieran
I’m a professional photographer based in Clonakilty, West Cork. I picked up my first proper camera in 2012 and by 2013 I was working professionally for companies right across Ireland. More than a decade later, the thing that drives me hasn’t changed: the Irish coast. I’ve always lived close to the sea and there’s nowhere I’d rather be with a camera than on the Wild Atlantic Way when the light breaks through.
Today my work is split between the things I love most: teaching photographers on my workshops, testing Nikon Z cameras and lenses in real working conditions, sharing what I learn on YouTube and photographing families here in West Cork.

Photography workshops on the Wild Atlantic Way
For over 12 years I’ve taught photographers of every level along the West Cork coast. Groups are small, the locations are some of my favourite places to shoot and you’ll come away knowing your camera properly, not just with a few nice photos.
“Kieran’s Landscape Photography Workshop was a fantastic experience. Full of knowledge delivered with great enthusiasm and passion.”Liam Foster · Google review
Family portraits in West Cork
Relaxed, natural sessions outdoors, usually on a beach or somewhere your family loves. No stiff poses, just time together and photographs you’ll want on the wall.
I don’t share client family photos online. Your family’s images are yours.
“Kieran interacted very well with the whole family and we were all very at ease. Our photos are now framed and hanging in our home and we are absolutely thrilled with them.”Caoimhe Harrington · Google review
