Since 2006 he has provided Nikon with all their Irish training for customers and dealers, training literally thousands of camera owners at all levels in everything from basic camera techniques through to professional level photography in many genres.

Joe is a member of the Royal Photographic Society, the Photographic Society of South Africa, and is a regular member and workshop provider in the Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society in KwaZulu-Natal, as well as a presenter to Dublin and Irish camera clubs - if you would like a talk from Joe, give him a call!

Joe's own work has been featured in many Irish and international publications, books, and by the Royal Photographic Society and the Photographic Society of South Africa. He is also a Getty images contributor, and is an Adobe Certified Expert in Lightroom. He is a regular creator of on-line photographic training on a variety of subjects, and is constantly adding to his class list.

When he doesn't have a camera in hand, Joe lectures to postgraduate level at UCD Smurfit - Ireland's top business school, where he co-created the Master's in Project Management programmes. He holds an International Executive MBA and a Postgraduate Professional Diploma un University Teaching and Learning.
