Rhys MacPhàil is a professional property photographer with nearly a decade of experience
In 2012 while completing their Bachelor’s in Non-Fiction Media at the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington (United States), Rhys started their own real estate and property photography company.
Rhys served the Greater Salish Sea region of the Pacific Northwest in Washington State in the United States. Rhys has photographed a diverse range of properties from high end designer homes to remote cottages and equestrian ranches. Rhys’ clients appreciate the unique perspective they bring to their work and the crispness of their photos.
In a time where in-person viewings are becoming less accessible, more home buyers are purchasing properties site-unseen. Market research shows quality photo and video help to sell listings quicker. In addition to still photography, Rhys provides aerial drone photography and video tour services.

Rhys is passionate about the revitalisation of Gaelic culture and language in all of it’s bio-regional dialectical diversity from Ireland and Scotland to the Isle of Mann. In 2016 Rhys started learning Gàidhlig (Scots-Gaelic) with Seattle’s Scottish Gaelic society Slighe Nan Gàidheal. In 2019, Rhys moved to Glasgow Scotland to complete their Master’s of Research in Human Geography with a focus on the Gaelic dialect called Gàidhlig Dail Riada, the Gaelic of Cowal, Mid-Argyll, and Bute. Dal Riada Gaelic exists as a bridge between the standardised dialects of the Outer Hebrides and the Gaelic of Donegal and Ulster. In 2021 Rhys moved to An Sean Chnoc outside of Sraid a Mhuilinn (Millstreet) in the foothills of the Derrynasaggart Mountains along the Cork/Kerry border. Rhys hopes to expand their mind and tongue to learning Gaelainn na Mumhan (Munster Gaelic) and passing it on to any who wish to learn.
