User:Toussifar

My name is Simon Toussifar I'm an Irish photographic artist and recreational fly fisherman based in Kinsale, County Cork.

I grew up in the scenic countryside of West Cork, where I always felt a strong connection with nature and the ancient landscape of this country. I'm well known for my love of recreational fly fishing having caught my first salmon on the Bandon River at the age of 14. Previously self employed within the IT sector as a web master I ran a vibrant web design firm but always held a flair and keen interest in photography. I have a strong eye for composition, balance, light and colour; making my photos unique and highly collectable. I specialise primarily in landscape and nature photography but also contribute to press photography, events, aerial photos and private commissioned work.
