In Camera ... Liverpool Waterfront


Have just finished working on some new panoramic images of the Liverpool Waterfront taken earlier this week during the good settled weather we have been having. The images are required to be at a very large file size so I have joined up to six vertical images together to make these long panoramas.





In Camera ... Sophie and Chris


Returning from Barcelona, one of the first jobs I had was to photograph Sophie and Chris for their engagement (Congratulations!), a pleasant Sunday afternoon spent with a lovely couple.

Here are a few more pictures from the Barcelona visit.

In Camera ... Art in Barcelona

The amazing Hospital Santa Creu and Sant Pau, Barcelona


A request from an artist friend, Ashwan, now living in Barcelona, to photograph some of his latest work meant a quick flying visit to that Spanish City renowned for its architecture. Not far from Ashwan is the amazing complex of Hospital buildings seen above, amazing coloured tiling and gothic styling.




Some of Ashwan's latest work

After working hard to capture all of Ashwan's latest works on camera we were able to spend the next 
day sightseeing some of the famous buildings in Barcelona. The weather was kind to us and it was a pleasant break after the rush of the last few days.




In Camera ... A foggy, frosty day in Ireland


The day after the wedding provided a remarkable setting for the drive back to Dublin. A clear frosty start had given way to a freezing fog which coated the trees in a layer of white crystals, as we drove along the frost crystals fell from the trees like glitter from a Christmas tree.

In Camera ... A wedding in Ireland


Mid February I photographed a wedding at Cabra Castle, County Cavan in Ireland and it brought back my love for this type of photography. Many years ago I used to photograph weddings regularly but then decided to ease off and concentrate on commercial work. It was a beautiful cold and frosty day and we worked both outdoors and inside the magnificent castle with its beautifully furnished rooms to capture a day that was truly memorable for everyone.


























My thanks to Fiona and Cathal, the bride and groom, for providing the opportunity to photograph such a splendid and memorable wedding in a fantastic location.

In Camera ... Grace

Welcome back, sorry there has been such a long interval without blogs but it seems to have been an extremely hectic few weeks.


Way back at the end of January I was asked by a friend to supply some photographs of his daughter for publicity purposes. We had finished the main session when the sun emerged and shone strongly through the window. I noticed the pattern of shadows created by the strong sunlight and shot a few extra pictures.
I love the strong shadows and shapes created by this natural light.
