Putting your face on..

September 10, 2010 Editorial photography

..Ladies. Or Gentlemen I suppose. *Not wishing to appear judgemental* Here’s something that’s a bit different, and I only use it to point out a couple of things (well three actually having thought about it). This was an editorial shoot for a beauty/female supplement and the focus was on the make-up: Point 1: Use a [...]

Courgettes, Runner Beans &..

August 31, 2010 Editorial photography

..a huge softbox. Of course, the courgettes and runner beans (oh, and cherry tomatoes) have absolutely nothing to do with the shoot, they were just a bonus that I received as a gift from my subject. The softbox wasn’t a softbox either, I just made that bit up. Read on.. I’ve posted Corporate & Commercial [...]

Portrait of a Pianist

August 3, 2010 Editorial photography

Had an editorial shoot recently where I was asked to photograph a music student, at a piano. Nothing remarkable in the shoot, except it took me 3 lights to get the effect I wanted, and I’m not sure what I wanted was what the publication wanted, because the article didn’t run in the end! Oh [...]

In at the deep end

July 21, 2010 Editorial photography

Fortunately, we both managed to avoid a soaking, although I came pretty close to it. A second look at the back-story to creating a fairly simple editorial image. Nothing remarkable in the image as such, pretty standard fare for an editorial feature in a sunday newspaper. Fairly shallow depth of field to focus on the [...]

Conference coffee-time portrait

July 19, 2010 Editorial photography

A couple of editorial portraits coming up on the blog this week, just to show a little of the back-story behind a seemingly simple portrait. Some of the requests you get have your brain going around in circles. This portrait for a sunday newspaper was of a lady writing a thesis on mental health and [...]

Wife carrying

July 5, 2010 Editorial photography

Had a (very) quick shoot recently with these two mad-uns who were heading off to Finland to take part in the Wife Carrying Championships. It was very quick because they were going to be travelling from Ireland to Finland BY ROAD and had just collected their camper van and were running a bit behind schedule, [...]

20-minute Business Portrait

May 31, 2010 Editorial photography

A lot of business people don’t have much time available for a portrait session. More time might be allocated if it was for their own corporate or commercial use, but when it’s an editorial shoot for a Sunday newspaper you have to work fast. This was for the Business section of a Sunday newspaper and [...]

Wide and short

May 27, 2010 Editorial photography

Anyone who makes a comment about that title referring to me is in deep trouble. It’s the shape of the image, which is required to fit full-page width “above the fold” of a Sunday newspaper, specifically the Money section. Takes a bit of thinking about. The last 3 Money section front-pages I’ve shot for this [...]

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 [...]

Inanimate objects

May 11, 2010 Editorial photography

Had an assignment recently for one of the Sunday newspaper magazines to feature some images of an art exhibition. It was in the Crawford Art Gallery in the city, which has 2 main gallery sections, the light bright section, and the dark moody section and on the way there I was wondering which one the [...]
