Back to Norway…
Mischkah and I managed to arrange our first remote shoot of 2021 in her new Norwegian location. Here are some of the images from our two hour session. We split the time with studio lights and natural light and two different spaces. Very pleased with what we produced in such a short space of time.…

Passage of time
So yesterday, after my scrambling around mountains in mist and fog from sunrise to sunset, I returned to an old friend. We first met on the 4th of February 2007. I was young and innocent and didn’t know how to handle the situation, but I was so enamored with the beauty in front of me,…

My first remote shoot
In these strange times I feel lucky to have the headspace to want to exercise my creative side. So when Mischkah asked me if I’d like to try a remote shoot, I gladly said yes. I’d been thinking about these for a while and wondering just how well they would work for me. I enjoy…

A day with Ayla Rose
I’ve been waiting a while to have my first shoot with Ayla Rose. It was worth the wait! Having access to both studio and nearby locations is very useful in unpredictable Irish weather. My plans had to be flipped from morning to afternoon to make sure we got time in studio and time on location.…

Embracing the shadows…
Whether working with natural light or studio lights I’ve always been weary of the dark side! Perhaps it’s the association with camera club competitions and the risk of a judge penalizing blocked shadows that led me to be extra careful about filling in shadows somewhat and never clipping the blacks (or highlights for that matter!).…

Autumn colours in Wicklow
A good reason to join a camera club is because it gets you out to discover new places you maybe would not have come across otherwise. I thought I’d get to Wicklow much earlier this morning, but our new puppy Ollie made sure that was not going to happen. I thought I had put the…

Acueducto del Águila
Acueducto del Águila (Eagle Aqueduct), also known as Puente del Águila (Eagle Bridge), is regarded across the region as “an historic jewel of Spanish architecture”. It was built in the 19th century and has been used continuously since – today the local community uses it to irrigate farmland. The aqueduct is situated on the Barranco…

Frigiliana
Today we explored the streets of the nearby mountain village of Frigiliana. The bright afternoon sun was obviously a bit harsh for photos, but this place is very charming and I still had to take a few shots. I’ll be back, sunrise and sunset no doubt to try and do this town justice.

Flamenco
So spanish guitar music has a special place in my heart, I learned to play classical guitar from the age of twelve with the motivation solely to be able to perform “Recuerdos De La Alhambra” competently. I had known this piece from an early age as it was the intro music to Jack Hargreaves “Out…

Playa Maro Sunset
This evening I returned to the same beach we enjoyed earlier today to see if the light on the headland held up to it’s earlier promise. When I arrived this time, the shadow from the cliff to the west was already half way down the beach, so I did not hang around at the car…
