After years of directing countless photographers from behind the lens, Niall turned his hand to photography and since moving to Mayo, he has documented the area he lives and works in through the medium of photography.  
The experience and knowledge from his working life marries seamlessly with his passion for photography creating beautiful intimate skillful works as seen here in this current body of work, Derelict: Silent & Still. 
This body of work is a study of abandoned houses in rural Mayo. During urban renewal, many houses are left derelict, shored-up by timbers, waiting for the land-price to be right. These half-houses, bisected through internal walls, are the decay left behind as human's move on.
