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.

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.
You can read more about this photo-shoot and MY IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO LOCAL MEDIA here on the new Oss237.com Blog. You can check out the full series of shots here and read more about the gig here on my KilkennyMusic Staff Blog.

Another shot from my series of alternative body art portraits, working with the very beautiful Tanya O’Callaghan. Simple use of selective desaturation to bring out the red in the tattoo, which is based on an Alex Grey design.
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.
