Award-Winning Dublin Photographer
About Al Shelley - Photographer Dublin
I'm Al Shelley, a photographer Dublin clients trust for catalogue fashion, commercial, and portraits, based in Co. Dublin, specialising in catalogue fashion photography for independent designers across Dublin, Swords, and Fingal.
With over a decade of experience shooting commercially and internationally, I bring a unique eye to every project, from product catalogues and corporate headshots to fashion lookbooks for indie designers launching their first collection.
Whether you're a small fashion designer needing clean catalogue shots before your next drop, a business looking for professional commercial images, or an individual wanting a portrait that actually looks like you, I'm straightforward to work with, efficient on set, and fast to deliver.
Based in Dublin. Working across Swords, Fingal, and beyond.

Artist of Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique
Serious about photography. Easy to work with.
I hold an Associateship distinction from the Irish Photographic Federation (AIPF) and an Artist distinction from the Fédération Internationale de l'Art Photographique (AFIAP), two of the most respected qualifications in professional photography.
When you book a shoot with Artisan Photography, you're working with a photographer who has been assessed and recognised at the highest national and international level.
Beyond commercial work, Al is an internationally experienced travel and documentary photographer. Under the @monowanderlens account he documents black and white street stories, faces, places, and fleeting human moments from across South and Southeast Asia and beyond. His colour travel work at @artisanphotography.ie has amassed nearly 3,000 followers drawn to his cinematic, intimate approach to documenting people and place.
This depth of experience, shooting in challenging conditions, whether its India, Vietnam or Myanmar finding the decisive moment, working with real people in real environments, is what separates his commercial and fashion work from photographers who have never shot beyond a studio.

“Al is a true professional, he is patient and willing the go the extra mile for his customer, even at short notice. The quality of his pictures are amazing and his turn around time and prices are very competitive. I will definitely use him again!”
"A talented photographer with a great eye for detail, colour and light. But Al’s attitude is what shines brightly, his generosity of time and spirit to any project we’ve done together is nothing short of excellent. He gets the job done with little fuss, a great attitude and wonderful delivery. McAteers The Food House and Dundalk Dog Rescue will never use anyone else for our photo shoots. Thanks for all your great work Al".
“I’ve hired Al for numerous commercial projects from fashion to food and he never fails to deliver. Extremely professional, great to work with and will always go the extra mile. I can’t recommend Artisan highly enough.”
