Brendan Lyon

I have worked as a full time photographer for almost 14 years, but not so much since I published a novel in 2020 and I am working on a second now 2020/2021. I write as Lenny Brando, and as some may wonder what that brand has to do with me, it's an anagram of my real name.

Most of my photographic commissions are commercial events and not suitable for a PP portfolio - they're usually record shots but they paid my bills and the clients were all very happy. I create composites and studio portraits for fine art and digital art products, hence the presence on PP.

I am an Associate level member of both the Irish Professional Photographers Association (IPPA) and the UK's SWPP. I was president of the IPPA from 2014-2016.

Thanks to creative partnerships with many talented people on here, I received the Bank of Ireland Irish Professional Portrait Photographer of the Year Award in 2017 and  Creative Photographer of the Year Award in 2019. In 2022, I received the Fine Art Photographer of the Year award. I was runner up in Fine Art in 2017 and 2021, and runner up in Open Creative in 2021. I have also won awards from the FEP and SWPP, as well as numerous IPPA medals.

 I do not have any shoots planned for 2022.

 

Be good and well.
