Frozen in Time Photograph

Over the years I've been a chef and an IT engineer working across Europe before returning to Ireland in 2016 and falling back into the family fold, namely photography and art. My father was a photographer, TV cameraman and a lighting director for Irish, British and Australian broadcasting companies while my cousins were/are classical landscape painters. My wife is also a classically trained artist, her professional training started when she was 12 in Kiev and has been rewarded twice with the President of Ukraine Award for Achievements in Arts. Art in some form has always been part of my life. About ten years ago I set up my first photography blog, initially it was to advertise my work. However, due to my methods of finding remote sceneries around Europe via motorcycle the blog morphed into a motorcycle travel magazine (www.RoadTrooper.com) and I became a travel writer and videographer (https://www.youtube.com/roadtroopermagazine) From this I've specialised in photographing "idyllic" roads for various travel/touring magazines. Throughout all this I have never given up my passion for finding peace through photographing and painting nature in the remotest rural locations I can find. These days I continue to run the RoadTrooper website and offer photography trips into the Highlands of Kerry and the Beara Peninsula from RoadTrooper's Rest, my BnB in Killarney.
