Overview

In 1989 a client asked Kevin to submit a sample aerial photograph. He had never taken any so he sent one taken from a mountaintop. The result was a commission for an aerial photograph and his first helicopter flight; his new career 'took off'. In sunny weather, Ireland is one of the most beautiful places but Kevin sometimes waited a whole summer for suitable weather to be rewarded with a day from heaven. These photographs are gathered to share the beauty of Ireland as it unfolded on various flights over the years. They do not represent all of Ireland but are quite simply an aerial miscellany. Kevin's wife, Fie, also took photographs from the 'other side of the helicopter'. The result is this stunning collection inviting one to explore this beautiful island country for oneself. Kevin captures the spirit and colour of Ireland, its varied landscape of rivers and lakes, coast and mountains, the tranquillity of ancient monasteries and vibrant cities and towns.
