Gift Ideas can be hard to come by. Let’s face it, no matter how well you know your friends and family there will come a time when you just can’t think of a Christmas present to get them.

Well, may I respectfully suggest a beautiful piece of photography? Yes, yes – of course I have a vested interest! I have, after all, just opened a new online photography shop.

But seriously, I was in an friend’s home recently and I saw, with some pleasure, that they had a copy of my photograph of Dunworley in West Cork at sunset hanging above their mantlepiece. I knew that it wasn’t just a nice photo for the dining room, but that the place itself also had a significance for the family. It’s an honour that they chose my work to commemorate that memory.

Places, landscapes, and wildlife come to mean so much to all of us, and play such strong roles in our lives it can be a great pleasure to have those memories and meanings represented in our homes. Maybe you can find in my landscape photography, wildlife photography or indeed my limited edition prints – the ideal present for somebody special.

Of course, gift vouchers also make a great gift – and the ones available in my shop are good for my photography courses and workshops, as well as in my gallery and online.

Happy gift hunting – and I hope you find the ideal present!
