Underwater & Landscape Images, Kinsale, Ireland

About

John Collins is an award-winning photographer, based in Kinsale, Co. Cork, Ireland. Originally from Limerick, he discovered photography as a teenager and with it a life-long passion to capture images of the world around us. While studying Pharmacy in Trinity College Dublin, he learned to scuba-dive with Dublin University Sub-Aqua Club and went on to gain experience both in Ireland and abroad, eventually becoming a diving instructor in 1991.

Already an active photographer with Dublin University Photographic Society, John was keen to photograph the underwater world and soon began to capture images of life beneath the waves. Many of these photographs have been successful in competition and widely published internationally, both as written features and as stand alone photographs in magazines, brochures and books. He is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography course in professional photography and the recent publication of his book, Cool Waters | Emerald Seas has been widely accepted as being one of the finest collections of underwater images from the world’s temperate seas. Recently, John has begun to work on moving images, filming some of Ireland’s undersea shipwrecks in high-definition video.

On land, John continues to work on landscape and documentary photographs, producing unique images of the beautiful areas around Kinsale and west Cork.
