Achill Island

This wild and remote county experienced mass migration and human suffering during the Great Famine, and no site better captures this loss than the Deserted Village on Achill Island, where countless stone cottages lie abandoned as derelict ruins. The Blackface sheep, with their ominous horns, remain guardians of this ancient island, watching over her coastal villages and glorious beaches.

Our Process

Every artwork is individually printed by Giles and embossed with his signature stamp, certifying it as an original, authentic print.

Every photograph is printed and framed entirely in-house, in Giles' own studio in Kinsale — just steps from the gallery. This hands-on approach allows Giles to oversee every stage of production, from print to final frame, ensuring the same meticulous standard he has upheld since 1988.

Our professional framing is built to last, crafted from solid wood with a clean, understated design that lets the photograph take centre stage. We use plexiglass glazing rather than standard glass — cutting reflections by up to 20%, resisting scratches and abrasions, and blocking up to 99% of UV rays to keep your artwork looking its best for years to come.

Every order leaves us gift-wrapped in premium paper, ready to give or display. Because many of our pieces travel internationally, each photograph is carefully packaged, tracked, and insured — so you can trust it will arrive safely, wherever it's going.
