Wildlife photographer Phil Pound
Phil has been chasing the light for 27 years, 15 of them as a self employed Professional Photographer. He was born and raised near Corfe Castle in Dorset, England and moved to Ireland in 2001. He is now based not far from the village of Drimoleague in the scenic area of West Cork.
Having grown up on a farm in Dorset Phil has always had a passion for the landscape and local Wildlife. Phil’s day to day work includes commercial and portrait photography, but if the sun is shining you’re more likely to find him out photographing nature — saving his studio work for the dull days.
