Siobhan is a UK-based architectural and interior design photographer and photographic artist.
Siobhán is a freelance photographer based in the southeast of England. She works both in the UK and internationally, capturing architecture and interiors in addition to working on her own personal projects – many of which have resulted in exhibitions and book publications. These include her recent publication, Houses that Sugar Built: An Intimate Portrait of Philippine Ancestral Homes (2024) published by Oro Editions, The Lanesborough Reimagined (2015) and Savoy | The Restoration (2011) both published by Dewi Lewis Publishing.
Her work has been exhibited in the UK and Europe, including at MAST Foundation for Photography in Bologna, Italy and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Initially trained in architectural technology, she worked for more than a decade in building design before undertaking a photography degree at the University of Westminster, London. She graduated in 2006 with first-class honors. She established her photography practice in 2007.
While she travels often for work, home is the historic village of Berkhamstead.

Siobhan is a UK-based architectural and interior design photographer and photographic artist.
Born and raised in Ireland, Siobhán studied architectural technology at the Limerick Institute of Technology. She then spent sixteen years in London as an architectural designer, working on aspects and spaces linked to period architecture and contemporary commercial buildings.
The language of architecture and design informs her photography. Siobhán has pursued photography full-time since graduating with a first-class degree in photography from the University of Westminster in 2006. Her images strive to convey the layers beneath the surface, the elements and energy often overlooked. Major commissions include the limited-edition books documenting the renovation and reconstruction of two London hotels, The Savoy and The Lanesborough. Her new book, opening the door on the unique architecture and interiors of the ancestral homes of sugar planters in the Philippines, will be published in 2022 (subject to the pandemic). Siobhán also creates photographic artworks, including landscapes and seascapes.
While she travels often for work, home is the historic village of Berkhamstead.
