… all captured with positive vibes attending Pendulum Summit 2026 #pendulumsummit
What an incredible experience working as an event photographer at the Pendulum Summit in the Convention Centre Dublin. Spending the day capturing the energy of the audience and the insight of such an inspiring lineup was a real privilege. From powerful moments on stage with Brené Brown, Rory Sutherland, Richard Susskind, Dr Norah Patten, Rhys McClenaghan, Niall Breslin, Marc Randolph (Netflix Co-Founder), Amy Morin, and Alison Levine, to the countless conversations and reactions among attendees — the atmosphere was electric from start to finish.
A huge thank you to the Pendulum Summit events team for the flawless organisation, professionalism, and support throughout. Wishing everyone involved continued success — already looking forward to what’s next. #pendulumsummit

Saddened hearing the passing of designer Paul Costelloe. I photographed him for the first time in 2018. He generously gave everyone he met a unique sketch of a designer outfit. His talent and skill impressed all generations who queued to meet him. He was a true gentleman with his time. This brief encounter I will never forget. May he rest in peace.
