Dear Viewer, 

I, Diarmuid Gillingham the proud owner of this website and the brand Diarmuidgraphy would like you to welcome you. This website was a long time in the making. I  have long had a Facebook page and more recently Twitter and Instagram accounts to present my work over the last few years. The desire to make this a part of my working life and one day the main focus was the main driving force behind creating this website. I believe a professional looking website is the best way to present my work. Through many hours of self-learning and practising with others, my photography is at a professional level. So a professional website to go along with my work is essential. 

As I take more and more photos over the coming months and years I hope to improve my portfolio even further and with that provide a better product and more options for you the viewer of this website and reader of this blog post. Many of my social media accounts for example, Facebook and Instagram can be found by clicking on the "contact" tab above. While I will continue to post on these as normal, a lot more of my work will be available for viewing and purchasing here. Social media is a place where if you post too often, it is easy to make people feel like you are pushing your work on them a little too much.

For example, if on a particular day, I may take 5 photos that I feel will interest people. I will, for example, post two of them on social media but all five will be available here for both purchasing and viewing. This is done to avoid overwhelming you the viewer with too much content on social media, but also giving you as the viewer a reason to come back here to the website. 

While uploading new photos and constantly improving my photography will be the main focus of this website, I hope to use this blog as a way of giving tips and ideas that I pick up myself along the way. There may also be a few stories along the way too. 

Thank you for reading, I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Diarmuid Gillingham
