I took an insatiable interest in photography during my early 20s. I spent 24/7 shooting & learning. Shortly after leaving school I spent 7 years working in Telecom Eireann until they offered redundancies. Despite having two small kids, I jumped at it & turned pro when I was 27. I payed my mortgage 1 year in advance & used the rest of the cash to buy equipment & move into a studio. It took a while but thankfully I now work at what I love.
