On the common occasion that I cant get a successful night’s kip I’ll venture out into Dublin’s darkness and see what I can shoot. This helps me use all the unspent energy from the day in the hope that when I return to bed I can finally get my forty winks. I thought I’d shareContinue reading “Shutter Insomniac”

Speed in the Streets; F1 Bavaria City Racing Dublin 2012
Earlier in the year I ventured out into the Irish rain and tried to document the event of the summer. In June Bavaria City Racing brought Formula 1 to the streets of Dublin. More than 100,000 spectators were expected to gather for an adrenaline-fuelled afternoon with Superbikes, Super cars, Touring cars, Formula 2, WRC, Drifters, andContinue reading “Speed in the Streets; F1 Bavaria City Racing Dublin 2012”
Monster Under The Bed. Part 3
In keeping with the family connection to explore the notion of how photography inspires us, I asked my sister to recall a story relating to a cousin of ours. “My brother asked me to collaborate on his photography post series Monster Under The Bed as in our family we have all witnessed first-hand the superpower ofContinue reading “Monster Under The Bed.

The Nude in Contemporary Advertising
This was a task I was to undertake for college, that I thought I would share. This is the deconstruction of an image using opinions from professionals across the fashion industry. The Nude Kate Moss signed up to David Yurman’s company in 2010 to model his new line of jewellery, posing with a ring fromContinue reading “The Nude in Contemporary Advertising”
Monster Under the Bed. Part 2
As mentioned in my “About Me” page and in my previous “Monster Under The Bed” post I hinted upon my Grandmothers collection of photos under the bed. As the first part of this series was a bit heavy on the text side, I’ve decided to be easy on you guys. This is a small collectionContinue reading “Monster Under the Bed. Part 2”
The Monster Under the Bed. Part One.
My Mother has one, my Grandparents have one and even I have one. There’s a very good chance we all have one. In one way or another we all have a box under our bed. It could be a shoe box or an album, in our hard drives or your Facebook page. We all haveContinue reading “The Monster Under the Bed. Part One.”
Copy This, Canon.
As a follow up to the lens-less camera post earlier, Camera Obscura, I thought I’d explore another means in which to take a picture without a lens. Inspired by those age-old office party bum shots I thought I’d try a photocopier. Well, a modern day document scanner. So I set about it with a shelfContinue reading “Copy This, Canon.”
Take a Long Walk off a Short Pier
The Howth Marina Shot Collection. Commissioned by Ray McCabe of McCabe’s Deli’s. All image credits. I was asked to think about taking a few shots for a new cafe opening down on the River Liffey by Mr. McCabe himself. He loved the fact that the opening was going to coincide with the Dublin Tall ShipsContinue reading “Take a Long Walk off a Short Pier”
Ach Well… That’s Showbusiness
News just in. I’ll keep it short-ish. This is obviously a faked picture. Noel Fielding and Phill Jupitus were originally holding an Ad for ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ which was due to be aired in the next couple of weeks. I switched the Ad for the ‘Watson ACE’ lads for use on their Facebook pageContinue reading “Ach Well… That’s Showbusiness”
