About Michael McLaughlin

In 1994, my journey as a photographer began when I discovered the mesmerizing work of Ansel Adams. His photographs sparked a fire in me to create my own portfolio and pursue a college placement at a university. Ever since then, I have been inspired by the philosophy and vision of Adams and his "Group f/64" colleagues, who believed in using the smallest camera lens aperture to achieve maximum depth of field and sharpness in an image. This artistic approach has charted the course of my photographic career. After completing an Honours degree in Visual Communications and a short stint as a Graphic Designer, I returned to my hometown of Westport, Co. Mayo, Ireland in 2000 to establish my own photography business.
