Roberto Grilli
photography / Ireland


I am a photographer based in Shannon (Co. Clare, Ireland) and specialising in landscapes and seascapes. My favourite places are the Dingle peninsula, the Spanish Point, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher and Kilkee (in co Clare), as well as the Glen of Aherlow and areas in Wicklow, Waterford and Donegal.

I started my adventure in photography as a 9 year old boy. My first photo was of the visit the president of Czechoslovakia (Ludvik Svoboboda) in my town of Kosice (Kassa in Hungarian).

After some time I changed my media to movies ( 8 mm films). I took lot of "films" of bats in opal mines in Dubnik (Slovak Republic). I did other short movies of life but it was expensive and did not express my feelings.

After that I changed to photography and felt it was the media in which I could find a highly creative outlet that suited me. I studied from books by Gal Gyorgy Sandor (Hungarian writer) about the life of Giuseppe Verdi and Bokay Janos (Hungarian writer) about life of Giacomo
Puccini.

Both books taught me that all my "artwork" should express my inner feelings and not cater to what other people wanted to see! Sometimes, however you need to satisfy your customers desires.

I love to take photos of trees, clouds, waves on the sea and waterfalls, but I am fascinated, above all, by the sun. Sunsets are my favourite photographic topic. I also take underwater photos, mainly of the scenery under the sea.

I use a Pentax SRL camera and a FinePix and Cannon digital cameras.

I like taking colour pictures, but I always come back to black and white photographs.

Gallery Comment:

There’s always room for an artist who has the desire, the passion to portray beauty, natural, uncompromising beauty, to remind us of what is out there. Grilli shoots what’s in front of him, and doesn’t stray too far from his homeland Ireland, revealing its incredible landscape. An eye for composition, and an obvious appreciation for Nature is what exempifies Roberto as a photographer.

Other spectacular views of Ireland await at his website.
