About Colm O'Neill - Freelance Photographer
The photography work I am involved with is all freelance.
Since I was a child I have always been interested in taking a good photograph, whether it was with my father's SLR or a cheap disposable camera that I bought to record an important event.
After all a photograph is a visual record of a memory, event or a particular moment in time that should be recorded for a life time and beyond.
My weapons of choice, so to speak, are Canon. I currently work with the EOS 1D MKIII and the EOS 50D. My lens's range from 400mm 2.8 to wide angle.
Over the last while I have spent my time broadening my experience shooting a number of media events, weddings, commercial shoots and of course, sporting events.
I believe it is essential to have a strong knowledge of the sports that you are shooting so you can predict the action and be ready for anything that might happen.
I have a strong passion for sport and I believe this is key to my sports photography.
Sporting disciplines that I have covered include rugby, sailing, football, gaelic games and athletics.
