  • The first click of a shutter by the hands of Giles Norman was for a school project. The first camera he could call his own arrived on his 18th birthday. And the first darkroom to bring his photographs to life was in the attic of an old friend’s house. Relocating his darkroom to a rented space in Kinsale, Giles began working on his first portfolio in 1981. Both locals and tourists flocked to the tiny window of this studio, which offered a glimpse into his growing collections, and this welcome curiosity encouraged Giles to open his first gallery in Kinsale in 1988.
    Welcome to the story of Giles Norman. In his own words

    One camera, one lens, and a car. Spent 7 years living in Cork and travelling about the west coast. Splendid stuff.

    I'm lucky enough to own 3 of Giles' photos, truly beautiful. My parents and I went into your shop when we were in Ireland.The camera (nothing fancy) I had at the time, I could switch to black and white. So when we went to the Cliffs of Moher, inspired by Giles, I took a few pictures in black and white, and they were really pretty. For my Dad's 70th birthday, I ordered a photo of the Cliffs of Moher. It was the one place on our trip he really wanted to go to. Catherine was nice enough to help me with the order online and had Giles sign it as well.

    No tripod? Maybe I’m too old but I can’t create a good landscape without my sturdy tripod.

    It looks like a zoom Lens, that I will not call "one lens", it is much more inspiring to use a prime Lens !

    I used my Pentax daily for about a decade. It was my aunts and she let me have it. It started my journey into photography. It is a camera and those lenses that I would NEVER sell.
