From beginner to intermediate levels, I provide two course options which teach "The Fundamentals of Digital Photography" in Ireland. I currently run private one to one lessons as well as group based workshops. My workshops are full day events normally run from 10:30AM - 5:30PM. Based in Galway, the workshops are €120 per person.

Attendee feedback from a photography workshop

Based on Gerard's recommendations, I purchased a Nikon D3200 DSLR camera with an additional prime lens before attending one of his beginner’s photography workshops in Galway. While Gerard stated that I didn't necessarily need to have a camera before his workshop, as he would be providing advice on purchasing camera bodies and lenses at his workshop, I felt I would benefit the most by having the camera beforehand. As a total novice when it came to cameras, having being using my iPhone for photos, I was delighted to see that Gerard really did a great job in explaining and simplifying its use. I run a craft business and was delighted to be able to take my own stock photos for my blog, something I certainly would not have imagined doing before attending Gerard's workshop. Thank you Gerard for such an insightful learning experience!

Attendee feedback from a workshop

Had the pleasure of attending the day long workshop with Ger and found it really useful. The course was professionally delivered and I found Ger extremely knowledgeable and engaging. The materials and techniques thought were brilliant and have allowed me to make very informed decisions around upgrading my camera in addition to providing me with improved ability to utilise my camera for a variety of scenarios. I would highly recommend the workshop to anyone interested in improving their photographic skill set.

Hi, I'm Gerard, an experienced wedding photographer & photography teacher. I photograph weddings throughout Ireland & I'm based in Co. Galway in the west of Ireland.

I'd consider myself to be a people person, I know how to bring out the best in my couples & I take what I do very seriously, but you would never think so when working with me.

I've been photographing weddings for 11 years; my style is very much documentary in nature & I’ve found over the years the best way to capture beautiful moments is to let them occur naturally. Many love stories have unfolded in front of my cameras and it truly is an honour when a couple places their trust in me to document their day.

While some of my couples live only a few miles away, others plan their wedding from abroad & I place great emphasis on taking care of my couples both pre & post wedding. If you like the idea of a photographer who will guide you through each step from the pre-wedding meeting, the day itself & right through to delivering your printed story in an Italian handmade album, I'd love to hear from you...
