A random capture playing with a slow shutter speed at the elainECurtis Charity Fashion Show 2008. All of the proceeds from the night went to Saplings Schools: Providing a unique education for children with Autism.

The focus in this shot is very soft because of the slow shutter and the lights but that’s why I like it. You’ll hopefully be able to see my actual promotional shots and fashion shots on the elainECurtis website very soon and you can read more about this shoot here on my blog.

Another shot from my first series working with bodypaint. Shot under natural room lighting using a 50mm lens and a bit of creativity. Model: Tanya O’Callaghan. Bodypaint: Ani Payne & Helen Coyle.

You can see more shots from the series and my behind-the-scenes snaps here and you can read all about the shoot here on my blog.

One of my first attempts working with body-paint thanks to Tanya O’Callaghan, Ani Payne and Helen Coyle. Shot under natural room lighting using a 50mm lens and a bit of creativity.

As a test run for various upcoming projects, I’ve thrown together a studio to get some practice. The one draw-back being the lack of models. If anybody is interesting in getting some alternative portraits done then please let me know.

You can see more of these test shots here. And you can read more about this shoot and find out about modeling for me here on my blog.

UPDATE: I’m delighted to announce that I’ve made it through to the final for ‘Best Photo Blog’ at the Irish Blog Awards 2008.

I was asked by 3rd year Public Relations & Communications students in Carlow I.T to do a promo shoot for the launch of a new Calvin Klein store in Kildare. My first attempt at fashion photography and it went very well, with 20 pictures from the shoot appearing in the gallery on the CKIreland website.
