Experience Overview
Embark on an adventurous photographic journey with seasoned professional photographer Marc Richardson, that captures a traditional way of island and river life whilst you immerse in the awe-inspiring rugged landscapes of Ireland's western seaboard. Along the way, visit hidden islands and iconic castles and enjoy private performances from traditional Irish award winning musicians and singers. These stunning locations have been handpicked, and are sure to bring a wealth of varied photographic opportunities for budding photographers.
The journey starts with a welcome reception and dinner at the Merrion Hotel in Dublin on Thursday the 11th of April and culminates on Monday the 15th of April at Shannon or Dublin Airport with optional pre and post-touring on request. The experience will be hosted by Siobhan Byrne, Ireland specialist and founder of Adams & Butler and Marc Richardson will be your photographic professional throughout.
Marc has had the privilege, the access, and the passion to capture moments in time that may never exist again. Born into a celebrated New Orleans family of musicians, Marc launched his journey into the world of photography two decades ago with special access to both emerging artists and legends of the industry. In Ireland, Marc takes advantage of the abundance of extraordinary landscape and traditional cultural photographic opportunities.
Whether an iconic musician, a stunning landscape, breathtaking wildlife or meaningful portraits, Marc’s goal is to capture that moment that transports you to that exact moment in time. His quest is for that image that captures the very essence of what it was like to be there at that time, allowing someone else to experience that same incredible moment.
