Peter McCabe has been coined the custodian of the Irish Landscape – a title he is both honored with and humbled by. His award-winning photography has documented and detailed some of the most pristine and untouched views of Ireland’s landscape. If it’s outdoors and perhaps off the beaten track, Peter McCabe will no doubt have navigated its terrain long ago. Peter’s distinctive imagery is a result of his commitment to capturing the moment as it is delivered and often times leads him to some precarious situations.
As a lover of all things outdoors, it is not unusual to find Peter camped atop a mountain side, watching the ebb and flow of an ocean’s tide and waiting for the moment his finger is compelled to press the shutter.
For Peter, the destination and the images he captures are worth the trek to get there, no matter where the journey might lead him. Sometimes, it is along these excursions that Peter will suddenly spot a rare moment, a beautiful setting sun against a purple hazy blanket of sky, that reminds him how surprising and powerful nature’s beauty can be. Capturing these long awaited visions and impromptu displays of nature’s elegance is his way of sharing the world’s rare and often times isolated moments with the rest of us.
Peter McCabe is also a professional wedding photographer and similar to his landscape images, Peter has an eye for spotting the magical moments in the day. Peter’s dedication to capturing the romance, the off the cuff moments and the pure magic ensures the bride and groom will not miss a moment of their wedding.
You can find Peter’s work in several stock photography agencies as well as numerous publications around the world. He leads a handful of landscape photography workshops in Ireland, educating and coaching other professional landscape photographers.
