Joe Houghton

Joe Houghton has enjoyed photography since his early teens, but only really became serious about it with the rise of digital cameras.  Between 2006 & 2017 he provided Nikon with all their training for customers and dealers in Ireland, training thousands of camera owners at all levels, from basic camera techniques, through professional level photography in many genres.  Joe offers 1-1, small group and company based photographic training for all levels from beginners to pros, as well as regular small group photo walks where he can advise and coach on getting the best shots and using your gear.

Recently he has also begun shooting street using the Fuji camera system, and released his first book “Streets of Dublin” in 2019.

Joe is a member of the Palmerstown Camera Club in Ireland, Royal Photographic Society in the UK, the Photographic Society of South Africa, and is a regular member and workshop provider in the Hibiscus Coast Photographic Society in KwaZulu-Natal, as well as a presenter to many Dublin and Irish camera clubs – if you’d like to see the talks Joe has on offer click through to his talks page.

Joe’s own work has been featured in many Irish and international publications, books, and by the Photographic Society of America, Royal Photographic Society and the Photographic Society of South Africa.  He is also a Getty images contributor, and is an Adobe Certified Expert in Lightroom.  When he doesn’t have a camera in hand, Joe lectures at UCD Smurfit – Ireland’s top business school, where he has directed the Master’s in Project Management programmes since 2008.
