Thematic shoot – Draughts
During the build out of the “Boat House Studio” as it’s no dubbed, I discovered Garett is not only a Plasterer by trade but has also represented Ireland in the Mind Olympics as a master Draughts player. So when he mentioned he was planning to attempt a world record for winning 500 simultaneous games of…

Acceptance in 154th Edinburgh International Exhibition of Photography 2016
In order to achieve my next FIAP distinction – the EFIAP, I’ve started entering Print Salons internationally to achieve the required 25 print acceptances criteria for EFIAP. My first attempt was the prestigious Edinburgh Exhibition which receives over 3000 entries each year and only exhibits 202 prints. This year my work “Raphaella on Point” was…

My Weston Influence
It’s hard for me not to notice the name Weston, I’m married to Liz Weston! I discovered Edward Weston indirectly through my many visits to California and Yosemite since 1989. Before I got immersed in photography as a hobby I was inspired by the work of Ansel Adams during my visits to the Curry Village…

In this case trying to create an art-nude image with a location a little too close to other amenities, and families having picnics in the unusually warm Irish weather, meant I’d have to cheat and resort to photoshop. So, after we…

Tali Zorah
I never heard of this character until last week when my niece sent on some mood boards for her costume shoot. All her work head to toe. This is my first Sci fi shoot, and hopefully not the last. So many things to try still, I feel I’m only scratching the surface of doing the…

An afternoon with Elle Beth
Two weeks ago today I had the pleasure of shooting Elle Beth for the first (and I hope not last) time. The preparation for this shoot was frantic to say the least for the previous few weeks. The reason was, I wanted to re-establish my ‘home studio’ in my 21’x42′ shed which since my last…
