About me and my work….
Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit my website and possibly even getting to know a bit more about me also…
As you have probably already guessed my name is Kieran and I am a photographer living in beautiful Clonakilty, West Cork, Ireland.
Photography is thankfully not only my profession but also my hobby. I was once told if you love what you do then you will never work a day in your life and that’s so very true.
Family
I am a father of five gorgeous kids, yes, I did say five kids…
I have two daughters from my first marriage and a daughter and two sons with my wife Nadja.
They are all so very different and I couldn’t possibly love and adore them anymore than I already do.
I think when you have children you really start to see the world through different eyes.
Career
I am a self taught photographer and funnily enough I got into photography completely by accident.
Within 12 months of picking up my first DSLR camera I found myself working for a national fashion brand doing 30 plus shoots a year.
It all went very rapidly from there to me working for several brands in less than a year and diversifing into several new genres of photography.
If you would have told me 15 years ago that I would be a fashion photographer I would have fallen off my seat laughing at you.
That was nearly 10 years ago now I haven’t looked back since tbh it’s been a blur…
Awards
I have won several international awards over the years and have had my work published tens of thousands of times worldwide but that all truly means nothing to me as for me the real reward is a happy client. That to me is what real sucess is.
Being able to then pick and choose your clients is a serious bonus also. I love working with intertesting, passionate people and helping them to achieve the look or shots they are going for.
In 2021 I was awarded Irish photographer of the year award by both the Irish Enterprise awards and the Innovation and excellence awards. After being nominated by a few clients for each award it was a real honour that people who paid me for my work thought I need to be rewarded with these awards.
