First Focus Photography

My interest in photography as an art form started with my first plastic camera and a trip to the beach.

Since then, I've studied fine art and photography and now I have the privilege of working in the field full-time.

I'm passionate about portraiture and I'm keen to make your event or wedding shoot unique.

I'm based in Ireland and I'm happy to travel as necessary. I know a good deal about camera hardware and I'm always adding to my studio set-up.

Leave me a 'comment' or contact me if you need any advice.

My name's Rick; I'm a photographer.
