I am Davy Kelly
From sunny the Sunny South East of Ireland, I have been creative from a young age, designing, drawing, photographing, and watching the world around me for years. Not content to pick one media and stick with, I find myself with a broad range of interests that have allowed me to work on a wide range of projects from designing sewage works to photographing lifestyle sessions and weddings.
I have a strong background in art and design. My self driven further education started out at Loughborough University where I studied Aeronautical Engineering followed by Mechanical Engineering, happily graduating in 2006 with a 2:1 Honours degree. However it didn’t take me long to realise that the mechanical engineering sector wasn’t enough to satisfy my creative desires and I pressed into making a career out of a hobby of mine, photography. From 2006 to 2010 I photographed in what is considered to many people to be the most important day of their life, their wedding day. I have recently stopped shooting weddings to focus my time on other things, but continue to shoot on a less regular basis
I have attended a number courses and read countless books but I count myself as a largely self-taught & self-motivated photographer with a desire to play a larger role in the photographic community.
Testimonials
-
The photos are absolutely gorgeous, thank you! You did an amazing job with a pair of non-photogenic people!!
-
We absolutely LOVE our photos!!! they are fantastic, and love your editing too.

Davy really put us at ease. He offers an all round service. He takes time to discuss what type of photos you want before the wedding. During the service he takes photos without interupting the service. After the wedding for group photos he interacts with the bridal party and guests in a professional and relaxed manner. After the wedding he takes great care in editing the photos so you have a wonderful memory to take home. Would truly recommend him to take care of the photos at your wedding.

Davy came and photographed my book launch at Borders. He was courteous and unobtrusive and the results were excellent. The photography was of a very high standard with Davy’s hallmark creativity and imagination lifting them out of the ordinary. My schools leaflet looks very professional: top job! I thoroughly recommend him!

Lifestyle Photography
Lifestyle Photography is what it says it is, photography that captures and encapsulates your lifestyle. Taking photographs of you and your family in your natural surrounding is a great way of preserving those memories that are so easily forgotten as we grow older. This is a great way of capturing a moment and keeping it for a lifetime. Lifestyle photography is the new portrait photography, capturing you in your own environment is far more natural than standing in front of a seamless white background. When you are in familiar surroundings you are more relaxed which makes that perfect shot timeless. I offer three packages for you to choose from…

Nature Photography
This is purely a personal thing, I don’t shoot nature to make money, I guess I just do it for fun really…
I do from time to time take on specific requests for nature photographs, these are priced on an individual basis
Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures. Nature photography tends to put a stronger emphasis on the aesthetic value of the photo than other photography genres, such as photojournalism and documentary photography.
Landscape Photography
text
A landscape is a section or portion of scenery as seen from a single viewpoint. Scenery is the subject of a landscape image. Typically, people and animals are not shown in a landscape, unless they are relatively small in the image and have been included in the composition to show scale.
Landscape photography is a genre intended to show different spaces within the world, sometimes vast and unending, but other times microscopic.
Architectural Photography
Architecture is a broad subject, and one that surrounds us on a daily basis. It comes as no surprise then that it is also a very popular topic in photography. But despite its diversity there are a number of simple rules that apply in most situations, or will at least get you thinking more deeply about how a particular piece of architecture can be best portrayed. Architectural photography can be broadly considered to encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and engineering structures, as well as records of the evolution of towns and cities.
When undertaking Architectural Photograph is considered and planned to achieve the best results and desired style. My past experiences in this field include photographing large and small office areas, educational buildings, health and medical buildings, health and fitness centres / clubs, industrial buildings and residential property.
Architectural Interiors and Exteriors as well as Photography of Architectural Details are shot using the latest 18 ‘mega pixel’ Canon equipment.
