About Me

My interest in photography delves from my obsession of weather. I am especially intrigued into researching about past weather events, most notably snowfalls. One big part of the research is looking at many old photographs that may help visualise the severity of the event which other things such as a hard statistic may not. A photograph is a very valuable tool in seeing how the weather impacted the nation. It is for this reason why I got into photography and wanted to document these events myself on the rare occasion that Ireland does get them. Being a dedicated weather photographer is also a huge niche that very few take advantage of, particularly here in Ireland due to the normally benign climate. It is a dream of mine to be able to become a proper weather chaser whether be it storms or snow. Nothing else can make me happier than waking up to see my area transformed into a winter wonderland.

As time had passed, my interest grew and I delved into other types of photography such as general landscapes, portraiture and astrophotography.

My weapon of choice is the Nikon D7500. The lenses I use are the standard Nikon 18-55mm, 10-20mm, 70-300mm, 50mm f1.8, 35mm f1.8 and a Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary. I use a DJI Mini 3 Pro for drone photography.

I was awarded with a distinction in QQI Level 6 Photography in May 2021 from Coláiste Dhúlaigh College of Further Education.

Services

Photos are printed on high quality, premium paper using giclée fine art methods for the most accurate colour reproduction. I do mounted and framed prints to satisfy the needs of the client. Frames are custom made using top of the line materials for preservation and professionalism in the work or home environment. Currently there is no way to directly buy prints off this site, this is subject to change. If you wish to buy prints, contact me.

I provide one-to-one workshops about flying your drone to help ease the stress and anxiety of flying it to capture some amazing images from a whole different perspective. I also go over all the laws you must follow in order to fly your drone safely. I am not affiliated with the Irish Aviation Authority. Get in contact if you would like to book a workshop. These workshops tend to be at Howth Harbour but I am open to a location more local to you provided it's legal and safe to fly.

I am open to collaborations on photo shoots. Whilst much of the time I am a solo photographer to focus (no pun intended) on getting the shot without any interruptions, sometimes it's better to do it with somebody. If you would like to get involved, stay up to date on my Instagram stories @sryanbruen where I tend to post my updates on my whereabouts. Collaborations are first come, first served. These include photographing the aurora.

Any general questions about photography such as gear or how to photograph the northern lights I will also answer best I can whenever possible. Best place to ask me these questions is my Instagram.
