Print store
All my photographs are printed in-house to ensure maximum quality and attention to detail.
I use Premium Satin 210 GSM paper, a professional-grade medium that offers rich colors, smooth tones, and a soft finish making it ideal for framing and long-lasting display.
By handling the printing myself, I can guarantee that every print reflects the same passion and precision I put into capturing the image in the first place
About me
Hi, I’m Goran Lončar, a landscape and astrophotographer based in Killarney, Ireland.
Photography began as a way to hold on to fleeting moments in nature, the kind that stop you in your tracks and disappear just as quickly. Over time, it became my way of seeing and understanding the world.
Ireland’s wild landscapes have shaped my work deeply. From the silence of early mornings in Killarney National Park to the power of Atlantic storms and the stillness of a moonlit mountain, I am drawn to moments where light transforms the ordinary into something unforgettable.
My aim is simple: to create images that make you pause. Images that feel alive. Images that bring a sense of calm, wonder, and connection into your space.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m usually exploring new locations, hiking, or waiting patiently for the perfect light.
