Experience

Harry has worked as a freelance writer and photographer for almost a decade. In that time he’s traveled the world, filing copy from tropical islands in South East Asia, sailboats in the Mediterranean sea, trans-continental trains in the USA, and mountain tops (when there is cell signal). He is now (mostly) based in Dublin, Ireland, where he lives with his girlfriend, two dogs, and a cat (who he is engaged in a cold war with).

As a writer, Harry specializes in simplifying, explaining, and exploring the somewhat awkward worlds of technology, art, science, and culture—and especially at the places they intersect like photography, online life, and remote work. Harry’s work, both in print and online, has been read by millions of people on every continent (except, perhaps, Antarctica).
