Hello, my name is Daniel O'Byrne, I am now retired from working as a Mental Health professional having worked in the Royal Air Force and National Health Service, giving me more time to persue my photography and artwork. I am a Semi Professional Photoghrapher.

I am a Cornish man with a passion for nature and wildlife, and a keen conservationist. Nature has always provided me with the inspiration for my humble artistic endeavours, the problem is that within nature we see perfection, my father always said the wider you open the window towards perfection, the more the muck blows in!

Therefore one can only be inspired and have an idea and try to be

very creative in making this idea into a work of art. Seldom will we

ever be able to even come close to what we see in "Mother nature". I

have worked hard to develop the required level of craftsmanship,

without the outcome of my efforts being motivated by the desire to

follow a vision for my entire body of work.

Vision is an overriding envelope that I struggle to encompass for

both my inspiration and creativity. I placed vision as the final step of the process. I placed it there not because it comes necessarily at the end of the process but because in life it is often something that other artists like myself discover later on.
