Valentia Island Lighthouse sits on the site of the 17th century Cromwell Fleetwood Fort, which guarded against the threat of invaders right up to the 19th century. You can still see the cannons overlooking the harbour. The lighthouse was designed by George Halpin Senior, one of the most famous civil engineers of the time. The light was first exhibited in 1841.
A lighthouse keeper lived with his family on site until 1947, when the lighthouse was automated.

This is also available in color.

I have loved making photographs since I got my first camera as a young boy. My hope is that my work evokes feeling and a sense of place and that someone will feel drawn to a print as I was first drawn to it when attempting to capture that moment.
