Rathlin In Focus - An illustrated talk by photographer, Johnny Mitchell. Johnny is a passionate wildlife photographer with a special love for capturing the raw beauty of nature on Rathlin Island. Hear his story of the countless hours he spends in the wild, waiting for the perfect moment to capture the vibrancy and ruggedness of the island.
Johnny will share his collection of images, from soaring seabirds to the dark sky. For Johnny, photography isn't just about taking pictures – it's
about telling the untamed stories of the island he loves.
Arts and crafts on Rathlin have long formed part of the traditional island culture. Building upon the necessity of self-sufficiency it makes the connection with the native flora and fauna found across the rugged landscape.
