Iced Coffee Photoblog
I am a photographer born and bred in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I take photographs as a way of documenting life. I love people and get such joy from watching the way in which people interact with each other.I grew up disliking Belfast though now as I have grown older and I have come to love it. I haven't taken the bus tour yet - but it's on my list. I enjoy the many social and community aspects of the city, those which bring people together.Music has always been my biggest love and it is through this that I moved into music photography. I have since discovered a multitude of amazing bands throughout Ireland. The unsigned talent is beyond comprehension sometimes.So now I have combined my three loves; music, people and photography.I am available for photographs:
band photoshoots
live photos
cd artwork
Check out my photograhs on the links above and leave comments or drop me an email/message, I'd love to hear from you.
