Profile

Conleth is one of Ireland’s most creative and innovative photographers:

Conleth was born in Ballycastle County Antrim, and is now based in Dublin. He is a time served cabinet maker, who studied photography in the evenings at the prestigious Camden Art College, whilst working full time, fitting out some of London's most exclusive establishments, such as Harrods, The Ivy, and The Collection. To Conleth photography is not just a job, but a passion. He painstakingly searches out the best angles and vantage points from which to shoot, and meticulously strives to control the balance between light and shadow in order to create the perfect image. His passion for photography has brought him all around the world, from the Americas to South East Asia and Africa. With a relaxed demeanour, Conleth finds that putting both subjects and clients at ease comes naturally, something which is very evident in his work. So for inspirational photography, be it weddings, portraits landscape or commercial, look no further than Mc Kernan photography.

In Dublin Magazine, July/August 2004:

“Conleth’s photographs subscribe to this surrealistic quality. The strong rich tones create a visual feast which is closer to the Hallucinatory images of Hunter S Thomson’s drug fuelled American fantasies than it is to more familiar visual iconography.”
