Commercial Photography Cork

That’s the spirit

June 8, 2011 Corporate photography

There are few things more pleasing to photograph as a commercial photographer than food or booze. One I like to eat, and two… erm “some people” enjoy a wee drop of alcohol now and then. Allegedly.

…Imelda May! Had a great laugh recently at a PR shoot for the Clarion Hotel in Cork. The hotel is closest to the venue for the Live at the Marquee concerts, which among many others will this year feature Elton John, Christy Moore and Imelda May, so what better than having the mad staff at [...]

Shooting Wagner

Students

March 18, 2011 Corporate photography

They’re either a bunch of grubby layabouts, or nerdy geeks, right? Obviously the graduate of the year (female) from a major university is going to be a mousey, nerdy geek.
