Rock photographer

May 25, 2010 Editorial photography

I’ve photographed some famous people, some unknown people, some Very Important People, both those who really are VIP and a few who are only legends in their own minds. I’ve photographed royalty, presidents, Taoisigh (Prime Ministers of Ireland) and lots and lots of common-or-garden people just like me. Recently was the first time I can [...]

Mud, glorious mud

May 12, 2010 Corporate photography

Ladies, save money on those expensive mud-pack beauty treatments and just come out with me for a photo-shoot. This was the launch of the Munster Mud Run which takes place in the Ballyhoura Mountains near Doneraile in North County Cork. TTFN Tweet

Seanie

April 21, 2010 Editorial photography

It’s always strange to be in a sports stadium on non-match days. I’m used to being in Páirc Uí Chaoimh when there are anything from 10-45,000 people in the place, so to be there with just my subject (and the grounds-man out on a tractor cutting the grass) was slightly surreal. I was on assignment [...]

They Shoot Horses…

March 4, 2010 Editorial photography

…Don’t They? Apologies if you’ve just used a search-engine and are looking for the 1969 Sydney Pollack directed film about a dance marathon, but this is nothing to do with it. This is about me shooting horses, actually more about shooting a horse-trainer, and only shooting with a camera. I was assigned last week by [...]

Water water everywhere…

February 25, 2010 Editorial photography

…including completely flooding the basement of the prestigious Lewis Glucksman Gallery in University College Cork. Kind-of created a bit of a problem, as that’s where artworks are stored when an exhibition finishes, before being returned to their source. It rains a lot in Cork of course, but this was ever so slightly over-the-top rain. It [...]

Launching a Cup…

February 18, 2010 Corporate photography

…metaphorically and literally. When on a commission I normally try and get the “safe” shots first, and then go for something more interesting. In this instance though, because of the timing being rapidly approaching dusk, I went the other way around. This commission was to create some images for the launch of the Ashbourne & [...]
