About Seánnie
Seán O’Grady aka Seánnie Cameras is a multifaceted, professional photographer and filmmaker.
He has been practicing his craft for nearly 3 decades, learning first on 35mm black and white film and really took his passion into the workforce when digital media became the norm. Because of the technological availabilities of digital media, him being a “hybrid photographer/videographer/filmmaker” gives a lot of advantages to his varied skill set and enables him to afford more opportunities professionally than most peers.
Cutting his teeth in Washington, D.C. he quickly immersed himself in the music scene documenting concerts, spearheading documentary and journalistic projects, and producing/directing large advertising campaigns but always branching out to photograph/film events, portraits, lifestyle, editorials, sports, etc. After several years of this he finally decided to test his mettle and pursue his craft at the highest echelon the creative industry has to offer and relocated to Los Angeles. In 8 years, his work and client portfolio excelled at a progressive rate being able to photograph/film massive campaigns for the likes of LA Fitness, META, Walmart, Walgreens, Bosch, Niagara, Pioneer, Coca-Cola, and Donna Karen and work with countless celebrities.
Never forgetting his Irish roots or his insatiable yearn to travel Seán has been to 20 countries and is able to bring his unique, journalistic, doc-style approach to street photography to 5 separate continents. His approach to photography is done either on 35mm or 120mm film, his Leica Q2, array of Sony A7S3’s, or his iPhone 13 Pro Max. He enjoys exploring these various cultures through their food, their music, and their everyday street life. With an Anthony Bourdain type approach to travel, never settling and shying away from more traditional or touristy journeys Seánnie embraces the side quests, being able to pivot your plan, and find the extraordinary in the mundane. Come with him as he shows you how to see your travels differently, to see your everyday life differently, and how you will see yourself differently!
Reviews
From all of us here at EOM
You are warmly invited to stay a while.
We invite you to imagine standing on the panoramic hillside of our studio, taking in the spectacular views of Clew bay and Croagh Patrick (Ireland’s holy mountain).
Open your heart to the profoundly moving drama of constantly shifting Atlantic skies, reflecting an ever changing light show on the bay. The wildness and drama of this spectacular area belie the peace and connection you will feel to Ireland and to this very special place.
Lay on a blanket in the heather and watch the stars emerge on a clear night or walk along the rocky shores, to gather shells, driftwood and memories. Find yourself letting go of the stress of everyday life, feel the mystery and beauty of this land, awakening your senses.
This unspoiled place provide a safe place of inspiration and experimentation to stretch your skills in whatever medium you are working on, in an amazing state of the art studio..
Join us in Mulranny, Ireland.
Dream about the history of past times, evident in every field with old stone walls, every stoic castle and each abandoned cottage.
