I've been interested in photography from a very young age, my father always had a few interesting cameras about, and I just loved taking photos on my own little film camera. I raelly got involved in it with owning rats though, as I wanted to get better photos of them... it just spiralled from there. I love streetphotography and photojournalism, and studied the philosophy of photography at university, with a fair bit of emphasis on the Bang Bang Club. Sadly, I'm too much of a chicken to do this sort of photography myself, so I stick to mainly wildlife and macro - but I do anything to be honest, as I enjoy it all!
Outside photography, I keep pet rats, lots of them - being one half of Bongo Fury Rattery in Ireland. I also collect vintage toys and books and especially My Little Pony, which I also customise!
