- Headshots with Bruiser Theatre Company Fri, 03 Sep 2010 00:46:26 +0000
Something I get asked more often than I realise is “do you take headshots?” My reply is always yes because its something I enjoy doing. Its always good getting to meet new people but at the same time its quite a personal type of photography. There is just lights, your subject and the camera. I got a phone [...] - The most random photography shoot… Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:00:02 +0000

Last tuesday I went up to the Belmont Road area of Belfast to meet Clare and the rest of the guys from Firepoise. The property they were using was the perfect setting for spinning fire. There was a large garden to the rear of the property with a swimming pool and immediately reflections came in to my [...] - First day in the press room Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:38:11 +0000
A few months ago i interviewed with the Belfast Media Group as they were advertising for a freelance photographer. I jumped at the chance to work directly with local press. I filled in the application form and waited. And waited some more, and waited more. 2 months after filling the application form in i got a call [...] - New Nikon D3100 DSLR Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:15:06 +0000
ARTICLE FROM GIZMODO.COM Nikon just made the cheap DSLR market interesting again: Their first DSLR with 1080p video, the D3100, is the first DSLR with real, constant autofocus powers during video recording. And it’s only 700 bucks. Even though Nikon was first to the party with the D90, Canon has effectively staked out DSLR video as its private fiefdom, [...] - Isobel Anderson – The Shell Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:48:40 +0000
Isobel’s latest piece is an interactive audio/visual book, based on James Stephens’ poem The Shell, which can be found in the Linen Hall Libraries poetry collection. The piece combines various book art techniques with audio, giving the reader an immersive and intimate experience of the poem. While waking on Sandymount Strand in Dublin, Stephens picked up [...] - Diary of a shoot – The Miser (Part IV) Mon, 16 Aug 2010 16:50:15 +0000
So by this stage the script had been read. The advertising campaign was in full swing and rehearsals were in full swing. Next on the cards was the costume fittings. Two of the girls already had partial outfits sorted but the rest of the cast were yet to be sorted. This would prove to be the most [...] - The Ramada Encore Belfast Mon, 09 Aug 2010 19:38:56 +0000
So over the last 4 or 5 weeks i have been in and out of the Ramada Encore Belfast photographing the SQ Bar & Restaurant. One of the first posts in this blog was about that. This is an update. I finally got the final photos sorted a few weeks ago. It took so long to complete [...] - Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED (LC) Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:00:55 +0000
Simply put, without this lens i would not be able to do my job. Its an amazing feat of engineering from Nikon. Its a true professionals must have piece of kit. But at £1600 its not a viable option to every one. But optics (or often called glass) in photography is not an area were [...] - Interior Photography Fri, 06 Aug 2010 11:51:30 +0000
This week i got a phone call from Allister from Bladon & Co letting agents on the Lisburn Road, Belfast. They needed several properties photographed on Monday this week. The first property i had to photograph was a recently renovated house in one of Belfast’s most popular residential areas, Balmoral Avenue just around the corner from [...]
