About the Author

Noel McIntyre is an award-winning visual creative artist based in the midlands of Ireland. 

His vision, attention to detail, instinct for a story and eye for a brilliant composition combine to create exquisite and memorable fine art photography, reportage and film.   

As a lifelong entrepreneur who has launched, built and divested commercial ventures, Noel has experienced towering success and crushing failure throughout his career. These experiences have grounded him, given him a humble appreciation of people from all backgrounds and walks of life, and instilled in him the utmost respect for their individual stories. These human stories are at the heart of what he does today, and he regards it as his honour to tell them in his work. 

With his first book, ‘RíRá Mulllingar, a Fleadh Cheoil Chronicle’, Noel turned his attention to chronicling an historic event on an intimate scale, capturing moments in time through his photography. Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann is as much a celebration of people and the human spirit, as it is of music. In this book, both are celebrated.

Also a successful filmmaker, Noel’s work has been screened and honoured at film festivals all over the world. Noel was also awarded the title of Irish Commercial Videographer of the Year, in 2022 and 2023 by a peer jury from the IPPVA.
