I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.” Psalm 91:2

My photography journey began with my father gifting me my late grandfather’s Praktika SLR camera, and learning how to use it with his many lenses was my goal. Once I got the hang of it, and felt comfortable operating outside of my make-shift studio, I then purchased my very own first SLR which was a Pentax.

The first adventure I took the camera on was to the West Coast of Ireland and shot some images of Connemara and its serene beauty.

Some more time passed by and I decided to upgrade to a DSLR and my passion exploded from there.

Photography is a passion, a hobby, and a lifestyle for me and it was most exciting when a couple of locals who live by me asked if I would sell some of my photography so they could frame it and hang it in their homes.

I didn’t quite understand why they would want to do this but when I heard them speak about my photography I understood that they could see the passion I have for photography, and the stories I give with my photography on my social media also gave them a love for the scene captured.

Knowing that people in my community wanted to hang my photography in their homes has been a very proud moment for me.

Kind regards Ray Mc Cann
