After moving from Moscow to Dublin, Ireland eight years ago photography opened up a new way of seeing my adopted home. Viewing Dublin through the lens of my camera and particularly through the printed images as they appeared in the darkroom, gave me an intense appreciation for the city. As I traveled more I realised this small island holds an uncommon array of striking landscapes. While I will never be able to photograph them all, on this site I have included some of my favourites. My photography is very straightforward. I see something beautiful and I try to capture that beauty with my camera in order to share it. With each photo I simply strive to create an image as technically perfect as possible so the details are vivid and the photo comes alive. Working exclusively with medium-format camera and black-and-white film allows me to produce ultra high-resolution images that capture minute details with striking sharpness. - Philip Pankov
