Having developed the motorsport bug at an early age it was a natural progression for Malcolm to turn his hand to photography. Starting as a non-professional photographer at the tender age of 14, Malcolm concentrated on the national motorsport scene developing a distinct and individual style. Extensive developing and printing including portfolio work followed.

The break for Malcolm came at an F1 event in the UK (Brands Hatch, European Grand Prix) when at the age of 16 he captured his first F1 crash sequence, involving the big stars of the day. These photos have been included in the archive section of the site. Malcolm turned his attention to working as a freelance photographer covering the international F1 events and continued to further develop his distinct style. An extensive archive exists of all his motorsport work since 1979.

Malcolms work has been published in the majority of Irish daily newspapers including some of the international specialists motoring press and even in Hello Magazine!

As Chief Photographer and Deputy Editor of “Car and Bike Illustrated”, Malcolm continued to cover some of major international events as one of the only Irish International FIM registered photographers. This interest and enthusiasm has helped Malcolm move to the specialised field of Digital Photography. Further development with this site and Donnellan Photographic will be evident throughout the coming months.
