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.

DIT Catalogue

I photographed all the Art students from DIT for this catalogue. I used my fab 700-200mm lens along with two studio lights with umbrellas. The idea was to capture the personality of each student while holding up their art work.

The catalogue is divided into five sections fine art, product design, design display, visual communications (my course) and interior & furniture design. Each course has a different coloured cover which are reversible.
Here is a list of the 33 people in my class.

One example of a double spread Mary Reynolds on left and myself on the right.

DIT_MyGraduateExhibition

My graduate exhibition was held in CHQ. It's an excellent venue for our specially designed 3D displays, which was different from previous years. The official opening was on Tue 10th June and on Thur 12th was for the members of Design Industry to attend by invite only. Adrain Shaugnessy was our guest speaker for the night.  Following the exhibit the guests moved onto the Jeanie Johnston boat where they were served champagne and light refreshments. it was a great opportunity for us the students to talk to designers and photographers,(pic below of a few of the guests). Overall, I was delighted with the night and everyone's displays looked great. The exhibition is open from 10th till the 14th June . For more info on the students check out www.lastandfirst.ie ( I am also proud to say I photographed all the Art students from DIT for the end of the year catalogue, which I will post up after this. Check out my display below.

On the back of each students display unit there is a photograph of themselves. Each student, is doing something different. I'm looking down at Owen who said something cheeky to me. At night the displays  were lined up against the window (as you can see above) so you can see each student. Great idea...
Here we have a couple of friends of mine (photographers) happy out on the boat. Richard Gilligan was there too, was my first time to meet him in person that night, Talented guy along with the rest of the gang. Looks like there enjoying themselves...check them out below
nice shot of the gang here. Keith Walshe on left then Johnny Savage, Paul Kelly and Lucia De Nile.....thanks for attending guys..



This is my display unit. On the right-hand side I displayed images from my dog book. See me on the back.

On the front I had some portraiture, and one enlarged shot of an image from my dog book.
On the left-hand side of the display were abstracts from a website I designed for Digital Media called How do you Feel? It was an online counseling website for people to blog their emotions. I'll post the details up later about that project.

Landscapes

Dogs and more Dogs

Ruth

This was a mini shoot a did for a friend of mine Ruth. She wanted some casual shots of herself with her dog. I divided the day into two sections one casual as you can see above and below and the other half of the day was more fashionable, which you can see below. 

I used the 700-200mm 2.8 lens for these walking in the distance shots. This lens is especially great for weddings, capturing the moment between the couple as they walk away to spend time alone from the guests. I t also has a great depth of field..love it, heavy though..

Ok, I confess, I've retouched this image, as ruth suggested she would like at least one image retouched. Personally, I don't like to much retouching, but I think I didn't do a bad job! Don't know if I'd make a retoucher tough ha! I smoothed out her skin, removed any dark circles and wrinkles. 
I used my lovely 17-40mm wide angle lens for this shot. I love using this lens for those obscure angled shots. This shoot was taking in Ardagh Longford in a graveyard. I wanted a different feel to the shoot and I like the celtic cross Looking good Ruth...
