When did you realize you wanted to pursue photography as a career?
I was 21, having always had an interest in Art.
Your equine photography is stellar. Why horses?
I grew up on a farm in Ireland and was always attached to animals, but I found Horses to have an otherworldly quality which is difficult to explain. They have a calming presence and I understand why they are used as therapy with people suffering from mental or physical ailments.

Do you have a favorite breed that you like to photograph? I don't really have any particular favorite breed to photograph as I suppose I treat them all equally.
Any stories of difficult or challenging photo-shoots?
Most of my shoots go well and the horses are always well behaved!!
Your favorite horse to photograph?
I guess I prefer greys and whites as they stand out better with the clouds as a backdrop.
Do you have any tips for novice photographers?
Do you have any tips for novice photographers?
Basically you have to have your own signature and it's not wise to copy other photographers work. Follow where your heart goes.
