Gone fishin’

November 24, 2010 Corporate photography

Sometimes I nail the best image with the first one I take at a shoot (surprisingly frequently considering I don’t have a clue what I’m doing) and sometimes it’s the last one. Sometimes as a PR photographer when you’ve done the main images from a shoot and have them safely “in the can” as we [...]

I forgot the Teddy Bear

September 23, 2010 Corporate photography

Yes yes I know you’ve only recently had an animal pic, but this one is just soooo cute. Obviously he’s not really a Teddy Bear, he’s a Red Panda, born two months ago to mother Binthy and father Bamboo: Father Bamboo is believed to be one of the oldest Red Pandas to breed in captivity. [...]

The whirlwind that is -

August 25, 2010 Corporate photography

Darina. I did a launch shoot recently with top celebrity chef/TV personality/author/cookery teacher/business woman Ms D Allen who is easy to work with as she knows “the drill”. She’s a very busy lady and is nearly always under pressure to be somewhere else, right about now. The shoot happened to be in the railway station [...]

August 9, 2010 Corporate photography

One of the nicest shoots I get to do on a fairly regular basis is to document the new arrivals at Fota Wildlife Park. Here is the latest, a baby Lar Gibbon: There’s usually two things you need for photographing animals, a big lens and patience. I had to wait a while for mother & [...]

Entrepreneur

July 28, 2010 Corporate photography

Another in the “not a man with folded arms corporate announcement image” series (which isn’t really a series, but an occasional musing). Could also be filed under the WTF am I going to do in this instance category, where nobody (including me) has any real ideas initially on how to portray someone when there is [...]

Cycle launch

July 13, 2010 Corporate photography

Shot the launch pics for a charity cycle a while back. It’s always a bit of brain-strain trying to think up something different for those. We’ve all seen the “people looking through the wheel shot”, I’ve done it myself, so I thought up something different this time: Expect to see a rake of copies of [...]

The Pelican Run

May 26, 2010 Corporate photography

Not the Pelican Brief which was a movie, and it’s not called the Pelican Run, it’s called the Cheetah Run. (This post follows on from a recent one about last year’s run entitled Runners in the Park). It’s a road-race through Fota Wildlife Park, but I wasn’t going into the Cheetah area to create an [...]
