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.
