The Light & Land Project

The project explores the distinctive light, limestone and Atlantic weather of the Burren. Rooted in County Clare, the work is both a visual record of this remarkable landscape and a reflection on the relationship between land, atmosphere and time.

The land

Shaped by Water and Limestone

Explore the four distinct landscapes of the Burren (click or tap on any thumbnail to view favourites).

  • The Burren Lowlands, co Clare, Ireland

    The Lowlands

    LOWLANDS

    The Burren Lowlands form a gentle landscape of fertile pasture and limestone plateaus, stretching between County Galway and County Clare. Nestled at the foothills of the Slieve Aughty Mountains to the east and opening toward the Atlantic to the west, this quieter side of the Burren reveals a richly textured landscape.

  • The Burren coastline, co Clare, Ireland

    The Coastline

    COAST

    The coastline, North to South, is rugged and dramatic in places where limestone meets the Atlantic in cliffs, pavements, and windswept grasslands. Facing west toward the open ocean, dotted with Martello towers and ancient castles, it is a landscape shaped by the ocean and often spectacular light throughout the year.

  • The Burren National Park, co Clare, Ireland

    The National Park

    PARK

    The Burren National Park, the smallest of Ireland’s national parks, protects some of the most iconic landscapes of the region. Limestone pavements dominate the terrain, alongside calcareous grasslands, hazel scrub, ash–hazel woodland, turloughs, cliffs, and fen habitats.

  • The Burren hills, co Clare, Ireland

    The Hills

    HILLS

    The Burren hills form a distinctive karst landscape of rolling limestone pavements, caves, and remarkable biodiversity. Scattered across these uplands are numerous ancient monuments, from Neolithic tombs to early Christian sites, revealing a landscape deeply shaped by history.

September's top pick

A photograph selected from last month's time in the landscape.

A Burren Light & Land - Pick of the month: location2, lone tree, long exposure, lowlands, pavement, september, summer, twilight,

Lone Burren Tree under a Mauve Dawn Sky

The last summer dawn. As on many occasions I stuck my head out of for a peak and what I saw was enough to get me going and on location within 15 minutes. It would be a sin to miss a twilight like this! A splash of reddish orange altocumulus clouds were sharing the sky with a large band of altostratus, giving the impression of two completely different skies stitched together for the photograph.

Purchase a beautiful print

Open and Limited edition prints look wonderful in any home! Shipping registered and insured worldwide.

  • Sizes range from A4 to A1 or, uncropped: 12x18in to 24x36in with a white margin for a fine art finish.
  • Printed to the very highest standards either by myself or a local professional printing lab (for anything larger than A3+).
  • I only use Fine Art paper and will not compromise! Typically, a thicker than usual matt cotton rag, either ultra smooth or with a bit of texture (largely depends on the image to be printed) but without any whitening agent, making it resistant to the test of time! The fabulous Hahnemule Photo Rag or the Canson BFK Rives 100% textured pure white exhibition paper are perfect for moody landscapes. I have also started experimenting with Japanese thin 'rice' paper which is quite niche for landscapes! I will make a selection available soon. On printing: papers I use .
  • Included are limited and panoramic editions, which can also be numbered and signed in the margin on request.

An expertly printed giclee fine art on exhibition standard Fine Art paper magnificently renders the depth and impact of each landscape image!
