Malahide Camera Club visit the studio…
Not much planning went into this shoot, I was toying with the idea of inviting members of my new club to the studio to see what it would be like to work with a group of photographers in my studio rather than my standard MO of lone photographer. Time to give something back perhaps… Also…

Fanny Müller
I’ve been an admirer of Fanny Müller’s work for some time, so I was delighted to be able to work with her today on her Dublin tour. Fanny is so easy to work with, so enthusiastic, and so talented. I’m not setup for her aerial work, but the one high bar in the studio was…

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.…

Art Nude Duet
I’ve sometimes been asked, tongue and cheek, why all my images are of female models. My simple answer is that is my preference. Nothing against guys, but I love the beauty of the female form. It’s also seldom I have the opportunity to work with male models, but this year I have had the opportunity…

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…
