I am Peter Delaney

an Irishman with a camera, a penchant for empty skies, and a lifelong love affair with Africa’s wild heartbeat.

If you’ve found your way here, you’ll notice my world is painted in monochrome. Not for nostalgia, but because black and white strips life to its raw essence. This is where I find truth—in the curve of a lion’s paw, the tilt of a zebra’s head, or the cracked wisdom of a thousand-year-old baobab.

My philosophy is simple: Colour distracts. Simplicity reveals.

I Craft Timeless Fine Art of Africa’s Soul

I’ve never been drawn to crowds—not in life, not in art. My images breathe. They’re minimalist by design, quiet by necessity. I carve open spaces into every frame because we’re all drowning in noise. My portraits of elephants? They’re not just about the animal, but the dust swirling around them—the absence that makes their presence sacred.

From Irish Rain to African Sun

“Growing up in Ireland, I learned to write before I learned to shoot—to trace stories in the rain’s rhythm and the fog’s slow unfurling. But it was Africa’s untamed silence that taught me to speak in light.”

This balance is my therapy. Photography became my anchor.

When I’m behind the lens, I’m not fixing anything. I’m just bearing witness. And somehow, in that act, healing seeps in.
