My primary practice consists of film and digital photography. I am also a videographer, and creative director.

You will often find me capturing moments that normally go unseen through my analog street photography, working with fellow creatives to capture varying artistic visions, and, most notably, exploring queer experiences within Irish society.

My practice attempts to magnify queer Irish identities through portraiture and documentary photography; my work conveys intimate moments and emotions in a country marked by the rigid sexual mores of Catholicism. Challenging traditional notions of Irish femininity, masculinity and sexuality, works such as Queer Hearts of Dublin (2020), No Queer Apologies (2022) and Now and Forever, Interpersonally Queer (2022-2023) encourage spectators to connect with my subjects as both individuals and as community. Collaborating extensively with fellow queer Irish artists, my work is simultaneously a call for solidarity and a call to action.
