  • Falling Heros

    Falling Heros

    Creating an image we’re told, should start with a vision and follow on with a creative process to achieve that vision.  Sometimes this is not the case, instead creating an image itself leads to a tangential thought process and presents more material for future exploration. This was the case when I dug out an image…

  • My day with Madame Bink

    My first model shoot I arranged myself was back in 2008, not long after joining Celbridge Camera Club and being immensely impressed by the inspiring work of many club members.  As I never do things in half measures I jumped into this endeavor full of naive enthusiasm, booked not one but two fantastic models visiting…

  • A Grecian Goddess

    Having a vision, model and location does not necessarily mean a well executed result. 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…

My motivation this time was to prepare some additional panel images for my pending AIPF submission later in…

  • Knowing when to quit, and when not to!

    This morning was the first sunrise shoot I’ve managed to drag myself out of bed in the dark for in quite a while.  A quick glimpse outside tells me there’s enough cracks in the clouds to justify the effort.  No plan, just head to the sea.  Don’t know if the tide is in or out. …

  • 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…
