Shades of Ireland

Shades of Ireland is a visual and poetic journey through the heart of the Emerald Isle, captured in over 70 evocative black and white photographs. This book is more than a collection of images—it's a quiet conversation between light and shadow, land and spirit, past and present. Each photograph invites the viewer into a moment suspended in time: a misted hillside, an abandoned stone cottage. It’s a journey — through fog-covered fields, stone fences, quiet harbors, and narrow lanes of memory — all told in black and white. The absence of colour draws the eye to texture, contrast, and emotion—revealing Ireland’s raw beauty and timeless soul. Complementing these images are 14 original poems, each one inspired by a photograph and born from the same atmosphere that shaped the land itself. These verses offer another layer of experience, giving voice to the silence, memory, and mystery that echo through the landscapes. Whether you know Ireland well or are discovering it for the first time, Shades of Ireland offers a quiet pilgrimage through its moods, myths, and enduring magic.
