Emilys_Photoshoot

Hey guys, Here we have little Emily. I did a photo shoot of her today. We just walked through her dads back field. You'd be surprised at the beautiful shots you can take just right outside your back garden. I got the first three shots at sunset, beautiful light. She was a delight to work with. I'm in the process of designing a book about her. Its a 36 paged hardcover book H  8.3 x W 11.7 which comprises all the the images I take on the photo shoot. Which is all on location as I feel it is outside in natures surroundings and light you can capture your child's true personality.

She's very excited to see the finished piece. As so am I! 

I love shooting with the wide angle lens when there's a beautiful blue sky like this one with natures surroundings. Capturing kids of guard is the best. As you can capture their true personality and thoughts.


 

Mary McAleese_day after show

The day after the show, I was in the gallery, when I saw Mary McAleese walking down the ale of chq. I started a conversation with her and invited her into the gallery. She politely came in and had a look at my work. She was so nice and congratulated me and wished me the best of luck in my future as she knows I've only finished college a few months. She liked my dogs and she had a look at my dog book which I gave her. Hope you enjoy it Mary . Thanks to her for taking time out from her busy schedule and giving her time to me. appreciate it. I asked her if it was possible to get a photograph with her and my 3 pieces of work, she was very obliging and said yes, which is the image you see below

Morocco 2008

Hi guys, Im back from my two week holiday in Morocco. Had such a good time, I love this country second time there. I've posted up a few shots which I took over there.

I love these two shots of this little girl. This was taken with my wide angle lens. Thats why the sky looks so wide and surreal in the first shoot. She a princess, have to send over the photo to the girl hence the phone number in the sand,we couldn't find a pen anywhere! Good idea tough!

This butcher man gave me a lesson on meat. He explained every part of meat that was hanging infront of him, to the right is cows stomach to the left is cows tongue. Nice!

Hi guys, feel free to email me for a list of packages.

Baby Grace

Here's a shot of Grace playing with her favourite cat in her back garden. Book is sent for printing. The complete book will be up soon.

Ok, here's a continuation of this baby book project I'm creating. I love the emotion in these shots, capture the true side of a baby. This is one of the double page spreads in the book. 

Here's a sneak preview of a job I'm doing for a client of mine. I'm compiling a series of different images of a 14 month old baby, her name is Grace isn't she a Beauty.. The middle of the book will be in black and white and the rest will be in colour. She was a delight to work with. I laid her on a bed against a large window letting in beautiful light, I captured a range of different expressions, some very funny one's. When it's fully complete I let you see how it turned out..It's a nice keepsake to have of your child I think.

This is the front cover of the  book.
