Visual Storytelling Retreat — Join me in County Cork, Ireland
July 6-13 2025
I’m teaching a visual storytelling workshop with Raw Milk Retreats in County Cork, Ireland July 6-13. What better place to learn storytelling than the isle of storytelling itself?
We’ll explore renowned locations such as Ballymaloe, Gubbeen Farm, the Middleton Distillery, Jameson’s Whiskey’s southern outpost, and the famed Blarney Castle. During the retreat, we’ll dive into visual storytelling, mastering composition, framing techniques, the use of natural light, and much more, paired with other culturally enriching activities. We will stay at the gorgeous Dripsey Castle, a classic Irish country house for an authentic stay.
I’d love you to join me for a one-of-a-kind workshop!

This post feels a little different from what I usually share, but it comes from what I know to be true. It’s something that’s been with me for a long time—steady and constant—and I know it’s not just in thought, but in a way that feels deeply rooted in who I am. I’ve never been drawn to the technical side of photography. I’ve always followed a different rhythm—one shaped by curiosity, intuition, a sense of wonder, and deep appreciation for beauty. And while I find inspiration in breathtaking landscapes and exotic new travels, the place where I feel most creatively free isn’t always behind the camera.
