The second poster in the series, for the upcoming Devious Theatre production ‘Smitten‘. Again, I have to stress that I merely shot the image, under direction of Mr. Paddy Dunne, and Paddy provided all of the design work and photo-shop wizardry.

Unfortunately, this time around Paddy wasn’t available for the shoot, which turned out to be a nightmare-shoot as you can see here on YouTube.

Tickets for Smitten are on sale NOW in Rollercoaster Records, Kieran Street and they are 10EURO. The show runs August 20 – 23 and starts 8pm nightly. For more information and updates, check out www.devioustheatre.com

One of several promo shots for session bassist Tanya O’Callaghan, I’m slowly but surely getting through my backlog of photos. This was taken in January. Keeping it simple, using a standard household lamp for the shoot.

I’m in the middle of my final college exams at the moment (Cultural Sociology was this morning) but plenty of new series to come soon. For now here’s another shot from my promo-shoot with Atrax Mantis, it’s one of my favourites.

I’ll post a blog about the shoot once exams are over and Atrax Mantis release the artwork for their upcoming E.P.

Playing around with natural lighting, I’m trying out different styles for several upcoming shoots. I’m looking forward to staying behind the lens.

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.

Paul from 23 rocking out in the Zoo Club. I’ve been testing out new techniques to compensate for badly lit venues in Kilkenny, trying to black out backgrounds for a live/promo style.

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.
