Renowned Irish photographer, Giles Norman, will be launching this new collection – featuring over fifty images – in his Kinsale gallery and online on the 16th February 2022. This will be Giles’s third collection captured and released during the pandemic, and like many living in Ireland these past two years, Giles has been reminded of the endless beauty that the island of Ireland has to offer. This collection was captured in July 2021, when Giles spent a week (mainly on foot) exploring Sheep’s Head through his lens.

“I’ve photographed Beara Peninsula several times over the years, so it felt right to finally spend some time on her neighbouring headland. These peninsulas are different in that the beauty of Beara is more obvious and dramatic, while the beauty of Sheep’s Head is more subtle and almost has to be earned, but once you find it, it’s just as captivating as any other headland in West Cork.”

“One of my favourite themes to explore has always been the effect of light on water, and as Sheep’s Head sits between Bantry Bay and Dunmanus Bay, offering expansive views of the Atlantic, she is the perfect place to capture this effect.”
