Winter Seascapes
I felt somewhat guilty over the summer seeing other photographers posting sunrise photos of the Irish Sea, obviously taken many hours before my head left the pillow each morning. So now with winter setting in and a more respectable 7am sunrise, the prospect of getting to the beach these morning has been more manageable. Not…

Golden Gate , Part 2
On Saturday morning I was up at 4:30am with my bags packed for the airport to return home later that day to Ireland. First, my second attempt to capture another image of the bridge… Morning light was uneventful from the Marin headland. So shortly after dawn I crossed back over the bridge to see if…

Golden Gate Sunset
So after a busy week of work in California, I managed to make it back up to the city and Baker beach as planned for a sunset shoot of the Golden Gate bridge. I was hoping for fog, but the weather did not play ball. Instead I had to content myself with the view before…

Golden Gate Bridge
Today I’m heading off to California again on a work trip. This time I’m on my own and travelling light. I’d don’t usually bring my camera when doing short work trips, leaving Sunday and back on Saturday, does not leave much time for photography. There’s one icon I’d still like to do justice since I…

An ideal location
There may not be an ideal landscape or seascape location, the one you’re at is probably the most important. For me, living 2km from the sea means I really should be out taking seascapes more often. Tonight reminded me how generous the shoreline of the Donabate/Portrane peninsula can be for seascape photography. North, East, South…

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…

A Northern Rose…
Rachelle is visiting Ireland again and I could not pass up an opportunity to work with her again. Here’s a quick edit from today.

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…

Papyrus 2015 – Special Jury Award
I’ve been very fortunate with my image “Hands Laid Bare” featuring Elle Beth. I received my second international salon award for the image in the Exceedphoto Papyrus 2015 salon in India. For my AFIAP journey so far I’ve received acceptances in 7 of the eight required countries and 10 salons out of the required 15…
