Dublin, Ireland • Nov 16th, 2014
The Spire of Dublin rises through the centre of O’Connell Street at sunrise.
the Photograph
Standing at the heart of O’Connell Street, the Spire of Dublin is seen here in the quiet light of early morning, its stainless steel form drawing the eye upward through the centre of the frame. The city opens symmetrically on either side, allowing the monument to assert its presence with clarity and restraint.
As dawn light gathers, subtle warmth settles into the sky while cooler tones remain in the street and stone façades. Long exposure smooths the scene, softening movement and reducing the city to a calm, measured stillness that contrasts with the monument’s scale and vertical reach.
In print, the surface detail of the Spire becomes more apparent, with delicate variations in tone and texture resolving along its length. The balance between architecture, space, and light feels more grounded and tactile, reinforcing the sense of quiet authority that the monument holds within the cityscape.

the Print
Printing is treated not as a final step, but as a continuation of the work, refining tone, balance, and texture until the print feels true to the original experience. Each photograph is produced as a signed Fine Art Giclée print, carefully inspected by me before it leaves my studio.
Prints are offered in five sizes, Companion, Artist, Studio, Gallery, and Master. The range is intentionally limited, allowing the image to be experienced at a scale that feels right, from an intimate print to a larger piece with stronger presence.
Smaller editions are printed by me personally, while larger works are produced in close collaboration with a trusted fine art printer in Ireland. All prints are made using archival papers from Hahnemühle and Canson, combined with genuine Epson pigment inks, chosen for their tonal subtlety and long-term permanence. Every print is backed by my satisfaction, replacement, and lifetime fade-free guarantees. Find out more about my printing process here.
