| Biography
|
Gareth was born in Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and went on to study
law at Queens University in Belfast. An interest in travel writing
developed during a subsequent 18-month trip to Asia, Australia and New
Zealand. After picking up a second-hand camera to illustrate an
article, thoughts of returning to a career in the legal profession were
abandoned.
Recent foreign assignments have included trips to Nepal, New
Zealand, Tasmania, the European Alps and the Rocky Mountains. Between
overseas trips Gareth spends much of his time photographing mountain
and coastal landscapes at home in Ireland. Gareth also writes and
shoots for
Walking World Ireland and has co-authored eight books for Lonely Planet
Publications. His images have appeared in advertisements for corporate clients including American Express and Tourism Ireland, and editorial images have been published in Wanderlust, Geographical Magazine and the New York Times.

Drawing on the influences of American photographers like the late Galen
Rowell, Gareth's approach to photography eschews the
clichés in the pursuit of rare and vivid natural light. His love
of outdoor exploration and adventure activity enables him to access
rarely-frequented locations - like the summit of a mountain during a
winter sunset. The resulting photographs typically combine dramatic
light with dynamic landforms.
Gareth is available for commissioned assignments. Please contact him
with your project proposal.
