Life has a habit of carrying me off in many different directions which is good and bad. I get to experience wonderful places, meet interesting people, and learn new skills. It also puts a halt to some of my more creative endeavours like photography, and especially model photography which tends to need a little more prep and planning as well as commitment to travelling models who need reliable collaborators to make their living.
I realise many of my images and results of these collaborations are not shared on my social media platforms because of their community publishing guidelines. I’m considering using other platforms in the future, but for now I think I should post more on my website and share more representative sets of images from these shoots.
Recently I’ve had the pleasure of working with some models I had not collaborated with before. First was Dovile Jankauskaite (@dovileparis), a Lithuanian native visiting from Belgium, and this was our first shoot together.
For some time I’ve communicated with Victoriah (@love.from.victoriah), but never managed to arrange a shoot, that is until earlier this month. We had a short two hour studio shoot, and packed a many sets and looks into the time as possible. These images are a good example of my lack of publishing, only the first being safe to publish on common social media platforms. Since I do not like hiding the natural beauty of the female form, I only publish the remaining images on Purpleport (a community dedicated to artistic model photography) or my website.
Last but not least, I had the opportunity to work with Keira Lavelle (@keiralavelle). We split a four hour shoot into two hours of sea cliff location and two hours studio, handy to have both within 2 minutes of each other. Even better the summer weather just arrived in Ireland ☘️🌞.
Each shoot reminded me why I first picked up a camera — to capture authenticity, emotion, and connection. I am drawn to the beauty of the female form and the creative dialogue that brings each image to life.
I’ll be continuing to edit and add more images from these sessions in the mini galleries, so feel free to check back for updates. If you’d like to receive updates directly when new work is posted, please subscribe (if you haven’t already). Your encouragement genuinely helps me to share more often.
Thanks for sharing a moment of this creative journey with me!
Niall.
