The Beauty Queen Of Leenane: Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes of Watergate Productions ‘The Beauty Queen Of Leenane’. The early days of rehearsals on the Watergate stage had basic props and furniture in place to give us an idea of the set.

You can see all my shots from behind the scenes on ‘The Beauty Queen Of Leenane’ here and you can read all about the production here on the Oss237.com Blog.

Clive Barnes – Promo 3

Yet another shot from my promo-series with Clive Barnes, and one of my favourites from the shoot. Again shot on a 50mm lens, with slight adjustment to the levels.

Clive Barnes – Promo 1

My latest adventure into black and white photography, a series of promo-shots for the legendary Clive Barnes. Shot using a 50mm lens on a quiet railway crossing just outside Bennettsbridge, Kilkenny.

Sitting.Waiting.Wishing.

I’m into the final stretch of college, in a few short weeks everything will change. But first I have to get through my thesis, endless assignments and then of course exams. It’s going to be stressful and I know I won’t have much time to be working on pictures, I already have a huge backlog. I find myself constantly doing exactly as the title suggests.

This shot is a test shoot for black & white natural light shots, you can read more about it here on the new Oss237.com Blog.

Tanya Tattoo 3

Another shot from my first series of alternative body art portraits, working with the very beautiful Tanya O’Callaghan. All of Tanya’s tattoos were inked by artist Sean Boon in the Vibe Studio, Mullingar.

You can see the entire series of shots here and read more about the shoot and future shoots here on my blog.

The return of the Summer Sessions

I got my first chance to properly use my new Nikon D80 last night on Daw’s brand new drumkit as Itchy Trigger Finger begin practicing for their tour. Last year I used a D70 for the first time, for a shoot as Daw recorded drum tracks with the Happy Medium.

With my brand new camera and plenty of gigs, practices and recordings to come over the summer, this shot marks the return of my Summer Sessions.

Waltzing Alone

The Guggenheim Grotto, taken at an instore appearance in HeartBeat City last year.

Summer Sessions 4

The final shot in my series of pictures taken using KenMc’s Nikon D70 during the the Happy Medium recording of ‘Fairground Attraction’.

Thanks to everyone for all the great feedback and comments on my experiments with a different style, black & white and new framing. I’ll definitely be trying some more stuff like this soon.

Summer Sessions 3

Another shot taken with KenMc’s Nikon D70. Took this in the studio (fancy name for a spare room) while the Happy Medium took a break from recording.

Check out the lads myspace profile for a cracker new version of Fairground Attraction.

Comments would again be appreciated on this series of shots.

Summer Sessions 2

Another shot taken during the Happy Mediums recording session. Thanks again to Kenmc for the loan of his beautiful Nikon D70 which allowed me to try some new ideas and styles.

A change from my usual style, trying some black and white stuff and some new framing ideas. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Keep an eye on the lads website, www.mediumsite.com , for some new shots and indeed new tracks very soon.

Summer Sessions

Lots of new “toys” in the house this evening. The arrival of a brand new mixing desk and equipment for KilkennyMusic.com meant the Happy Medium could begin recording this evening giving me a chance to take some pictures of them which will appear on their own site www.mediumsite.com
That, plus a loan of a Nikon D70 off frontman Kenmc meant I could try my hand at some new ideas and styles.

I haven’t done much black and white photography before or even this style but quite enjoyed it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
