In 2016 a very kind man gave me a photo pass at a festival. Back then I mostly hung out with my mates and took photos of us having fun. 

Fast forward ten years - and Forbidden Fruit 2026 is just over one week away. I have spent one third of my life here working closely with some of the best people in the Irish music industry. Forbidden Fruit was the first big opportunity I was given and it has since been a personal marker for me to see where my photography has grown and can continue to improve. I didn't own a camera very long in 2016. I borrowed my friend's lenses *Thanks Zak* and I didn't fully know how aperture works. (I'm still kinda iffy tbh..).  I continue to do my best to learn and grow here.

Here's to ten more.
