Within a week of picking up a camera for the first time I headed to Bray Harbour and took some photos of swans. Upon downloading the images I was amazed at how beautifully they photograph and how the camera could pick up tiny details on feathers and I could almost feel the texture of these wonderful creatures. I was hooked!

I can often be found sitting happily in the midst of literally dozens of swans snapping away. They know me well by now and are certainly not camera shy letting me get very close to take their portraits – I feel incredibly lucky to experience this.

They inspired me to set up an Instagram page – https://www.instagram.com/swansofbray/
