Thank you for spending some of your valuable time with me. My name is Alan and I’m an Irish photographic artist based in the Glen of Aherlow beneath the Galtee mountains. My images explore the social, economic and agricultural history evidenced in the mountains and generate introspection on our relationship with these natural landscapes.

In 2024, I’m continuing to focus on “booleying” - the Irish term for the transhumance - in the Galtee Mountains. This is my sole project this year and you can read more about it here: Buaile. I’m also tracing its ongoing development in my blog: Field Notes. Please feel free to get in touch with feedback or comments if you are following along.

I occasionally sell beautiful landscape prints showcasing booley sites, the Galtee mountains and the stunning Glen of Aherlow. If you would like to purchase a print or contact about commissions, please get in touch via the Contact link at the bottom of the page.

Have a nice day!

Alan.
