I photographed the pubs of Dublin City, Cork City and Kilkenny city. Travelling on my bicycle, I visited each pub at night to capture them in their best light and tried to develop a style that would work for the whole project.

Moved to Waterford for 9 months and using trains and Buses, I travelled to each of these places and photographed their pubs. Ardee, Arklow, Athboy, Cahir, Carlow, Carrick on Suir, Cashel, Clonmel, Dingle. Dundalk, Dungarven, Ennis, Enniscorthy, Gorey, Galway city, Kildare, Limerick, Midleton, Monastervin, Naas, New Ross, Newbridge, Portarlington, Thurles, Trim, Tipperary town, Tramore, Tullamore, Waterford city, Wexford town, Youghal. Always improving the work and becoming a better photographer.

I couldn't continue the project due to the pandemic. I was able to take up landscaping and paving in my hometown Lusk, working with a friend. I got myself a Honda 50cc moped and put a lot of effort into learning to camp confidently.  I thought with the way accomodation costs where rising it would be an essential skill to complete the project when I returned to it.

I finally resumed the work in late september 2022, this time on my moped. Challenging myself to complete the project county by county. Louth, Laois, Kildare, Wexford, Kilkenny, Clare. Working mostly on the East coast this year. Probably the most challenging year, I had so many humbling moments and met so many great people whom the project would not be possible without.

I spent 3 summer months living and working out of my tent in campsites from Carlow to Clare. By camping, I had more time in an area and was able to enjoy the photography even more. Capturing many sessions, and characters along the way.

2024 will be spent in the Midlands and the West coast. Follow me on Instagram below for alot more of the work
