Mike Brown - The Photographer

Mike Brown - Irish Wildlife Photographer, Nature and Landscape Photographer

Mike Brown was born in Yorkshire, England in 1960 but moved with his family to the village of Courtmacsherry in West Cork in 1974. Having always had an interest in nature and the outdoors he was immediately at home in this environment.

Mike discovered photography in his mid twenties and immediately started making images of the local wildlife and landscape. In 1992 he began a full-time career as a professional photographer. While Mike has worked in many areas of photography and still covers many varied commercial assignments, his passion is still to photograph the natural world.
