At such an early age this was apparent and Padraic started winning competitions at the highest levels of professional portrait photography of which he has amassed a list of Awards almost unrivalled in his chosen field of portrait photography to this day.

He is also an (AIPPA) Associate Member of the Irish Professional Photographers Association and is a Qualified European Photographer (QEP) with the Federation

whom choose to be captured by him in his portrait studio. Padraic has continued to
master the art of portrait photography and is always pushing the boundaries
making his work unique and enviable within his profession.

Sonia Deasy-Director

Sonia, a BA Hons Graduate of UCD, worked for many years as an international buyer in her family's fashion business. After having her first baby in 2005 Sonia knew that that a career involving so much travel wasn't conducive to family life. So in 2006 Sonia became a Director of Deasy photography bringing not only a wealth of business experience and knowledge but fresh blood and enthusiasm to the portrait studio.

Sonia guides our clients through their portrait experience, as a mother of four young children she understands the importance of capturing these precious moments. From the portrait planning session to the design appointment Sonia ensures our clients achieve the most from their portrait session.

As production manager John is responsible for overseeing every aspect of our professional photography work-flow, from the selection and maintenance of our photography equipment to monitoring product standards and implementing quality-control programmes.
