This will be an amazing chance to talk to lots of photographers, bloggers, models, stylists, make up artists, curators, agency’s and all round amazing people! This is a party/networking opportunity not to be missed!!

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

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 is my first solo photography exhibition. It will be held in Filmbase which is in the heart of Dublin.

I have been shooting the Earthy Creatures series since 2009 and I am tremendously excited to showcase my work. The exhibition is a collection of  portraits captured with the interpretation of living creatures, which we have yet to discover. It also showcases some of the amazing landscape, hidden features and true beauty we have in Ireland (specifically Wicklow & Dublin). I have kept all of this series offline so there would be more impact when visiting the exhibition. I would love to see each and every one of you on the night, the more the merrier!! If you are on Facebook I have created an event which will remind you closer to the time. Feel free to RSVP, tell friends and spread the word!

Last night I took part in the Brainstorm event run by Connector . It was an extremely sociable, enjoyable and insightful evening! One that I’d love to take part in again. One of the topics discussed was ‘How to save Ireland‘ and there were many odd & interesting idea’s produced and formulated. Thinking outside the box at it’s best!

I was also one of the entrepreneurs pitching my Pet Photography Ireland business. Brainstorming provided quite a few interesting idea’s that I hope to implement over the coming weeks and months!
