About

Mark Carmody holds a doctorate in Biochemistry and spent 4 years in genetic research before embarking on a career in intellectual property law, specializing in life-science and mechanical patents, trade marks and industrial designs. Mark has been a keen birdwatcher since his primary school days and has now combined his knowledge of birds with photography. The lure of the camera had always been there though, as his father and uncle are passionate photographers/film-makers and his grandfather is a very well-known photographer in Ireland. An opportunity to work and live in Japan for 3 years prompted Mark to pick up the camera once again and record his time in Osaka and beyond, with his spare time there spent birdwatching and traveling throughout the Japanese archipelago. It was during this time that his passion for wildlife and landscape photography took off. Now back in Dublin, Ireland, Mark presents a selection of his vast portfolio for you to enjoy.
