NORTHERN IRELAND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
HI! I'M CATRIONA
Based in Coalisland, Co Tyrone, I primarily work throughout the island of Ireland.
My photography school, The Photo Academy NI, was created around 5 years ago - I provide a range of photography workshops, both online and in person. These include beginners photography workshops, taking better photos with your smartphone and photography mentoring.
My photography style is modern, creative and colourful.
I know stepping in front of the camera can be daunting so my aim is to take the fear out of photography. Clients are put at ease, feel relaxed and we bring out the best version of you on camera.
I am the visual storyteller. The collector of memories. Let's go on an adventure together and find some light ...




COURSE CONTENT
1. Discovery - We examine where we are in our lives at present, what inspires us and how fulfilled we are
2. Self Image - how do we see ourselves, how to feel empowered and learn to shine
3. Safe Space - what does safe mean to you? Is it a place, a person or feeling?
4. Gratitude - we embrace the concept of gratitude and learn how it impacts on our lives
5. Growth - this can be both challenging and beautiful. Change is necessary and inevitable. We explore your personal and photographic development so far
6. Release - in order to move forward, we need to let go of things that no longer serve us. We examine the feelings that emerge and celebrate your photographic breakthroughs

I love to work with people of all levels of ability - whether you are an aspiring photographer or someone already in business, I'm here to help.

I was fortunate enough to win a number of awards last year. The one I am most proud of is The Photographer’s Bar, from The Guild of Photographers. This is a unique distinction awarded to those photographers who have successfully had images assessed by the Guild of Photographers over the course of a year. You must attain a score that evidences an exceptional level of professional skill and consistency throughout that full year.
Guild Director Lesley Thirsk said “I am delighted for Catriona as this is a great achievement! Submitting and having images assessed every month for a year and reaching the required standards to become a member of the Photographers Bar is very demanding. It illustrates her commitment, skill and consistency. Catriona should be very proud of what she has achieved.”
