Capturing Nature’s Finest Moments

Welcome to my world through the lens! I’m Conor Flanagan, an Irish photographer specialising in landscape and wildlife photography, with a passion that extends to portraits and all things outdoors. My journey with a camera began amidst Ireland’s rugged coasts, and over the years, I’ve honed my craft through a myriad of weather conditions and landscapes.

My work has earned a place on the cover of Carve Magazine twice, the leading surf publication globally, but has also been featured in multiple prints and articles within its pages. I’ve had the pleasure of documenting the vibrant Irish surf scene with Surfline on multiple occasions, and have also worked at prestigious international events, including the Padang Padang Cup in Indonesia, the Asian Games in Bali, and the El Fronton competition in the Canary Islands.

Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Red Bull, Monster Energy, Mystic, Dryrobe, Reef, Dakine, Surfears, Xcel Wetsuits and Cord. These partnerships have allowed me to blend my passion for photography and video with the dynamic spirit of these renowned brands.

My gear includes the Sony A1 and A7R IV, complemented by a range of lenses such as the Sony 100-400mm GM, 85mm, 50mm, and 24mm GM, along with Voigtländer 75mm, 50mm, 15mm, and 10mm lenses. I also use the DJI Mini Pro 3 and GoPro models (8, 9, 10, and 12) to capture unique perspectives. Additionally, I have extensive experience with underwater camera housings, utilising systems like AquaTech Imaging Solution, Salty Surf Housing, and Ikelite to capture the essence of the underwater world.

In addition to my extensive work in digital and film photography, I have a strong background in video production. I’ve created dynamic video content for the aforementioned brands, capturing the action and essence of their campaigns with the same attention to detail and creativity that defines my photographic work. I have also done a lot of film photography with the Nikon F100 and Zeiss Ikon ZM, and have spent years developing my own film.

I approach every project with meticulous care, ensuring that client expectations are not only met but exceeded. My extensive experience with various cameras, environments, and specialised equipment allows me to deliver exceptional results, whether you’re seeking a breathtaking landscape, a dynamic wildlife shot, a compelling video, or a personal portrait set against the beauty of the outdoors.

Thank you for visiting my site. I invite you to explore my portfolio and see the world through my eyes—where every photograph and video tells a story, and every image is a testament to nature’s grandeur.
