Galway is a land of lush green fields, stunning coastlines, and breathtaking beauty. As a fine art photographer, I spend my time capturing Ireland’s natural treasures, seeking out the hidden gems that make this place so special. Through my online gallery, I share and sell these moments of beauty, preserved through my lens. A key part of my collection is my Pictures of Galway, showcasing the vibrant soul of Ireland’s west coast.
One such place of extraordinary beauty is Connemara National Park in County Galway. With its rugged mountains, sweeping bogs, and serene woodlands, the park offers some of Ireland’s most striking landscapes—perfect for photography.

What makes the Claddagh such a photogenic village in Galway?
Claddagh Galway is a visual gem, where the Atlantic meets tradition. Its colorful fishing boats, the Long Walk promenade, and the Claddagh Village’s rustic charm create timeless scenes. I focus on its authentic atmosphere—sunset reflections on Galway Bay, weathered fishing nets, and the swing bridge over the Corrib River. These images are available as luxurious prints at Patrick Donald Gallery, perfect for those who adore Irish coastal beauty.
Are your Galway stock photos available royalty-free for commercial use?
No, my Galway photos are not stock images or royalty-free. They are fine art pieces, exclusively available for private purchase at Patrick Donald Gallery. While they’re ideal for home or office decor, they cannot be used commercially (e.g., ads, websites). For 2025, I’m expanding the collection with more Claddagh Galway and Connemara scenes—all as limited editions.
How do your Dublin pictures compare to your Galway collection?
While my Dublin pictures capture the fastest-growing capital’s urban energy, my Galway work celebrates Ireland’s wild west coast. Think Dublin’s Georgian doors vs. Galway’s Claddagh fishing boats, or the River Corrib’s serenity vs. the Liffey’s hustle. Both collections share my signature style—rich colors, dramatic light—but Galway’s village charm and Atlantic vistas make it a standout. Explore both at Patrick Donald Gallery.
What are the must-see sights around Eyre Square in Galway?
Eyre Square is the heartbeat of Galway city, surrounded by lively pubs, buskers, and the Spanish Arch. My photographs highlight its festival energy, the Galway Jazz scene, and the medieval walls nearby. For 2024, I’ve added new shots of the Square’s colorful markets and Ronan’s Bar—a local restaurant hotspot. These art prints are available here, ready to bring Galway’s spirit into your home.
Why is Salthill a popular spot for Irish coastal photography?
Salthill is a scenic blend of Galway Bay’s tranquility and the Atlantic’s raw power.

Browse my Salthill collection at Patrick Donald Gallery—now shipping worldwide for 2025.
Can I purchase a photograph of the Corrib River or its bridges?

I capture their serenity in morning mist or the vibrant reflections of the Latin Quarter. These fine art prints are available in multiple sizes at Patrick Donald Gallery—ideal for adding an Irish river’s calm to your space.
Which beaches in Galway, like Silverstrand Beach, do you feature?
My collection showcases Galway’s best beaches: Silverstrand Beach (with its Atlantic waves), the Claddagh’s sandy stretches, and hidden coastal gems near Connemara.
