Frank an Irish amateur photographer who has spent most of his adult life working overseas – the UAE since 2011, and Africa from 1982 to 1999.
Frank started taking photographs over 50 years ago covering local events for a regional newspaper.
His photographic interests are broad, and Frank has held exhibitions in Ireland which mostly featured landscape images.
In recent years Frank has specialised in black & white images that show something not often seen or photographed.
He has always admired the way that camels hold a special place in the heart of every Emirati and continue to be a symbol of their cultural heritage. This interest led to Frank embarking on a 3-year project illustrating the rarely seen day to day caretaking of the UAE’s camels, whilst also showing the natural beauty of the country’s landscape. Most striking to him during this time were the majestic nature of the camels, and the warm bond between them and their caring minders. He describes his camel farm project as “street photography, taken in the desert”.
