Hello, if you would like to see my images, please click on the "visit their shop" link. If you'd like to read factual stuff about me, I'll get to that shortly. But first, for your information, while my Etsy site does feature most of my images, it is currently configured to sell only 8 x 12 matted prints at a $50 price point. Most of these images are also available on canvas or metal and in a wide variety of sizes. Please email me with any questions or to place an order. My email address is jimoreillyphoto [!at] yahoo.com. You may also reach me by cell phone at 207-650-4592. Thank you. You may also use Etsy Conversations although I've found that I sometimes fail to see those. And now as promised, the factual stuff!
Hello, welcome to Jim O’Reilly Photo. I’m a photographer based in the Portland, Maine area. I was born in New York City and my family moved around the east coast, living for a time in upstate New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, before settling in Maine.
I studied mechanical engineering at the University of Maine where I earned a bachelor’s degree and also made lots of friends and had some great years. I later studied jazz and contemporary music at the University of Maine at Augusta. I am a guitarist and bass player currently playing in a Portland-based rock ‘n roll band doing original and cover music.
I never really did the engineering thing, since college I’ve mostly played in bands and have held a variety of sales jobs. A job-related injury sidelined me for about three years before I slowly began regaining some of my abilities. It was probably this occurrence in my life, more than anything else, that brought about the notion of selling my photographs for a living.
Much of my work is landscape and nature photography although I do branch out into other subject matter as well. All of the photographs are printed and matted with archival quality materials. I hope that people enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them.
