I had a photography job recently to shoot in Microsoft's new European head office in Dublin. The focus of the shoot was the catering and food provided for the staff. I have to admit I was blown away by

This is a very talented musician named Clive Barnes that I shot with a few years ago. We traveled out to a farmers field out behind a city called Kilkenny in Ireland. Thankfully we got so lucky with the

This might just be my favourite shot of Shannon. The has a great skill looking serious and deep in thought. Especially when the shots are processed in black and white, it just adds so much drama. This

Its midweek now and we're half way through the latest round of the @portraitcontest that @jasonrussel kindly asked me to judge. I'm already blown away by the standard of entries. Not just the strong colours,

One of my favourite things to shoot, is a model with a beautiful natural smile who's not afraid to show it. That might sound odd but lots of models don't seem to like smiling in shots. This is a perfect

Heres a nice one from the start of the shoot. It was originally just meant to be a quick test shot while I setup the lights but it turned out so nice I shot a few more frames. It's nuts to think this was

Heres another from my shoot with the stunning Elena, where I was testing the Sigma Art 85mm f1.4. I basically shot at f1.4 the entire shoot and I'm so happy with the results. Of course having a stunning

Here's a shot from my first shoot with the Sigma Art 50mm for Sony E-mount. Just like with the 85mm, I'm so impressed with the job Sigma have done on this. The auto focus is so reliable even at f1.4 and

I always loved the stunning and elegant poses that Sara can create on a photoshoot. Combined with her stylish looks, it really does make her a pleasure to shoot. This is a favourite of mine from a few

Heres a shot with the stunning Elana. This was taken last night on my first shoot with the new Sigma Art 85mm for Sony E-mount. First impressions are that its incredibly sharp and incredibly responsive

Shannon has definitely mastered the art of looking serious and intense. Thats probably why her shots come out best when processed in black and white. It just adds an extra layer of drama to the shot, thats

Here's a shot of a great Irish band I got to work with last year. They're called The Pale. They had a few big kits in the 90s and can still be found playing and touring around Ireland. We shot this in

This was from the first shoot I ever did with Dani. We shot in the middle of Phoenix Park in Dublin, a large public park. I had set up quite a few lights so was going for a very dramatic and cinematic

This was a really quick but fun shoot. I don't often shoot cosplay but I can always make the exception for Steph. This was taken under a rail bridge that went behind my old apartment. Quite a cool location

Heres one from a fun one with Tami, a lovely and slightly crazy Polish model I shot with a few years ago. We took a trip out to the outskirts of Dublin and tried a few different looks, including this topless

This was the first time I had shot with Shannon. It was on a fun group shoot that @condra organised. She definitely has mastered the art of looking moody and intense, in fact she does it better than most.

Most shots I will give a bit of background to the shot, maybe some tech info on the equipment I used or some info from the day of the shoot. In this case.... It is what is 😄

This was a nice from in between takes, on a shoot with Mary. I was using my own lighting for most of this shoot but at one stage while I was setting up for the next shot, Mary was just lying on the bed
