Hello, I'm George, welcome to Ireland! I live in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the hills and mountains of the Dingle peninsula. Beginning with childhood holidays at my mother's home in Dingle and eventually moving here to pursue scenic photography full-time, I've spent over 30 years exploring and photographing County Kerry as well as the rest of Ireland, discovering the backroads and small lanes that meander along the hillsides, through the farmlands, past ancient churches, castles, standing stones and even farm tracks, that just end abruptly on the wild Atlantic coastline. Since 2016, I've been leading tours and teaching photography workshops for all abilities, whether you're an absolute beginner, serious amateur photographer, or just want to take beautiful shots on your phone. I carry tripods and filters in the minibus which you are welcome to use with your camera or mobile phone. For those who wish to experiment with a DSLR camera, I have a few models you can try - just request this when booking. You can improve your photography using any camera, device or phone while visiting a variety of stunning and carefully chosen locations, largely away from the hustle and bustle of the busy tourist routes. Visit parts of Ireland you'd never generally get to see, as we follow the back roads, narrow lanes and trails, discovering landscapes that will both captivate and enchant you. Over 30 years I've explored Ireland with my camera along the Atlantic coastline from Kinsale to Donegal and beyond into County Antrim in Ulster. I can use this intimate knowledge of Ireland to tailor a private day tour to your exact requirements, whether you want to improve your photography, or just sit back, relax, and enjoy the amazing scenery, from ancient castles and ecclesiastical sites to stunning beaches and cliffs or mountain passes. If you want to hike along the many marked paths or trails to explore these beautiful locations further, or even walk beside the dramatic Atlantic coastline, I can also plan drop-off and pick-up points into your tour or even put my walking boots on and explore the wonderful scenery with you. - City & Guilds of London Photography - Failte Ireland Wild Atlantic Way Champion During my tours I have no restrictions.

Overview of your Killarney tour

Killarney National Park comprises a series of wondrous landscapes carved from the slopes of Ireland's highest mountain range. Following a break for lunch in Kenmare, we discover some of the best rural scenery found anywhere in Ireland as we explore the narrow lanes that wind through secluded valleys and passes below the MacGillycuddy's Reeks. Bring your camera, phone or absolutely any device that takes photos and capture wonderful images, improving your photography with ongoing tips and advice, or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy the tour of all the fabulous and scenic locations that we'll visit. This tour is ideal for any level of interest, ability and experience of photography and I'm also more than happy to use my photography skills to capture wonderful memories of you and your group in this amazing landscape. This tour can begin and end anywhere in Co. Kerry and I can customize this tour to your exact requirements upon request.

- After meeting in or around Killarney we capture the lakeside scenic views of Ross Castle and take in the charismatic ruins of Muckross Abbey. We can also take a short stroll though the moss-covered trees that enfold the forest trail to Torc Waterfall. - We tour along the lakeside road, stopping in for wonderful views at the water's edge as well as the enthralling vista at Ladies View.
