Workshops: The Art of Seeing

Transmission is a core part of my creative process. Beyond technical settings, my workshops focus on the intentionality of the gaze and the poetry of visual storytelling. Set in the wild and inspiring landscapes of Ireland, these experiences are designed for those who wish to refine their artistic voice and master the narrative power of light.

Learning in the Wild.

Collective Experiences & Collaborations✨

Throughout the year, I host intimate group workshops in selected locations across Ireland and the Wild Atlantic Way. These sessions are retreats designed to reconnect you with your creativity through a shared artistic journey.

I am proud to collaborate with Artis Aura (in partnership with Avia) to offer uniquely curated experiences. These collaborations merge storytelling, atmosphere, and technical mastery, providing participants with a holistic approach to the photographic arts in some of Ireland’s most evocative settings.

Beautiful body, International Women's Day​

The Beautiful Body workshop, held in honor of International Women’s Day, concluded as a profound exploration of the human experience—the act of looking and being looked at. This immersive journey moved beyond technical photography to address our deepest need: to be seen with presence rather than judgment.

Through the interplay of light, shadow, and life drawing, participants transformed curiosity into a deeper connection with the self and others. By celebrating the female nude, the workshop created a sacred space where the body was reborn through a refined, artistic gaze—freeing the image from self-criticism and rediscovering true embodiment.
