The life of "The Wild Atlantic Traveller"

This week on the show I was delighted to have on the creator of the spectacular Instagram account "The Wild Atlantic Traveller"

Mr. Kevin Dooher .

Kevin is one of the top photographer along the Wild Atlantic Way, hence the Instagram account name "The Wild Atlantic Traveller"

In the chat I wanted to learn where the passion for both going for a ramble and taking photographs came from.

Like so much that we take into older life, Kevin explains the influence of growing up in the wild outdoors had on in the earlier years.

I chatted to Kevin about the mechanics of getting the perfect images. Kevin explains to me how he goes about capturing the images that ultimately end up on his wonderful Instagram account. To every listener I suggest you check out his talents at "The Wild Atlantic Traveller"

I explained to Kevin how, while on a little staycation back in August, I came across him during a trip to Muckross. The take away from that accidental encounter was the fact that he would go to places that I thought where impossible. I asked Kevin off the back of that, how dangerous things can get. After all it is the Wild Atlantic Way and its not always calm seas and clear blue sky.

With the advancements in technology, I wanted to get Kevins take on the level of editing or manipulation that goes on in today's photography. He shares his thoughts on this area as well as his approach to it in the photographs he takes.

Trying to stand out and create a place in the world for what he does is very difficult today in the area of photography. I asked Kevin how he creates a following on Instagram, where it could be said that everyone is a photographer to differing levels of ability. Kevin gives his insight to how "The Wild Atlantic Traveller" is a platform to share his talent for taking beautiful photographs but equally to having a real engagement with people who are genuinely interested.

With harsh travel restrictions in place for seven of the past twelve month. We chatted about how Kevin has managed the challenge of the five kilometre limit. I thought it would be hard to be a traveller within such as small space but Kevin explains how its all about adapting your approach to things and sometimes rediscovering whats at home and appreciating it.

With hope on the horizon, I asked Kevin what's next for "The Wild Atlantic Traveller" To find out that, well, you'll just have to tune in.

Kevin speaks so passionately about what he does, but most strikingly about where he lives. If we could all look around us and take in what we have, the world would surly be a better place. Thanks to Kevin for coming on the show and being the final guest on season two. It was great to finish on a high. Season three will be back in May.

Can I thank all those guest who gave over their time to come on the show, it has been a blast.

Thanks to all those who have tune in and listened

I look forward to having you all back and perhaps doing some interview in person, when season 3 comes along in May
