November Meeting and Speaker Fran Byrne: My Journey as a Photographer Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 7 pm Our November speaker is Fran Byrne, a popular Frederick photographer whose photos of Frederick flood Facebook. Fran sent the above image and said it is one of the first that "did it for him" when coming to Frederick.
I first learned about Fran when he gave a talk in December 2016, shortly after he arrived in Frederick from Ireland. If I remember correctly, he was contacted long distance by a woman from Frederick whose daughter was getting married in Ireland. He agreed to be the wedding photographer, and as it happened, the mother of the bride and the wedding photographer fell in love! After they married, Fran came to Frederick to live here with his bride. And as it turns out, he fell in love with Frederick, too.
According to Fran's Facebook page, "Back home in Ireland, I was surrounded by mountains, lakes, and rivers. Since coming to Frederick, I am surrounded by red brick and beautiful architecture which has taken my photography on another path. I love walking around Frederick with my camera and capturing its unique character and light."
You can see more of Fran's work by visiting his website: https://franbyrnephotography.net/ and by following him on Facebook.
