Earthy Creatures VIP Invitations

Hopefully by now, you have all heard about my first solo photography exhibitionEarthy Creatures‘ which takes place in Filmbase, on Tuesday March 1st at 19:00.

On the lead up to the exhibition I have been documenting a few of the mini-projects I have been working on while getting ready for the photography exhibition. This gives you a glimpse into how much thought, work and detail I put into my work, not just my photography but minute details such as the colour and texture of the paper on my invites. It’s easy to do a job well but to excel & stand out, you have to do mix it up and do things differently. I paid visit to a number of stationary shops around Dublin to find the best material I could for the invites. I wanted quality paper that had texture and strength for when people received their invites.

Rich & Luxurious hand made invitations

Thick, old hand made paper

Everything to do with the series/exhibition I wanted to include my earthy theme throughout. You can see this by having a look the competition I ran last week in Dublin too. Every invite had a leaf hand glued to the paper it was typed on. Gold ribbon was tied around each invite for a rich exclusive touch. A few weeks before the making of the VIP invites, I requested my very own wax stamper/sealer to be created in Canada with my photography logo engraved on it. I wanted these invites to feel very personalised, rich, to ooze luxury and above all, stand out from the crowd. I’m really happy with how they’ve come out.

Earthy Creatures: Competition takes to the streets of Dublin

 

This was a quick walk around Grafton Street in Dublin to promote my first solo photography exhibition (MARCH 1st-6th).

The idea behind the day was to get people aware of the exhibition, what it was all about and the theme ‘Earthy Creatures’. We had created a box especially for the day where people would put a hand inside and tell us what Earthy object was inside. I wanted people to interact with the idea behind Earthy Creatures. Everything was related to the exhibition, so we had sand, earth, water, leaves etc within the box.

Everybody had a great laugh and one lucky winner shall be picked to win a free photoshoot in March.

You can see a few shots of the behind the scenes making of the box over. Tough work this box making ;-)

New Photography Website – New Portfolio

Hello Hello,
The new website is up and running and perfectly in time for my photography exhibition next month! I’ve a whole new portfolio, linked in my Facebook page & twitter while not going overboard.

A blast from the past

The following are the different versions of my photography website. I’ve coded all of these from hand, which takes it’s time but I think it’s worth it!!
