“At a time when public and private places coalesce and where private life is blurred by access to the virtual, photography is both reassessing its role and confirming its heritage. Open to the Public, an exhibition of photographs by year two photography students from IADT-Dun Laoghaire explores these notions through a diverse collection of images. From street photographs to conntemporary interiors the work tries to assess what is public and what is private.“
Last week I was lucky enough to have been included in the final 5 for ‘Photographer of the year‘ at the Irish student media awards. It was a super night and absolutely amazing to win. I wanted to say a quick thanks to Oxygen & all the sponsors, IADT and a big shout out to anybody who has shot with me, gone on a photowalk, in essence all the photographers I’ve met over the past few years. In my opinion it is meeting and networking with other photographers that makes us push ourselves to be better photographers!!

Your advice, comments, critique and honesty has helped me to take this small step in my photographic life.
THANK YOU!

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.
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!!
I’d love to hear what you think of the new design!
Today I went along to the HUGE student march in Dublin’s city centre. The march started at 1pm on Parnell Square, just off O’connell street. There was a great atmostphere, everyone was calm, peaceful collected and there with purpose. They where there with one reason and one reason only!
STOP STUDENT REGISTRATION FEE’S INCREASING
Please help circulate these images & get the word out. Show people what the march was REALLY LIKE. A few minutes of fighting (from thugs) at the end gets all the headlines, show people the spirit of the day!!! Enough talk, I’ll let the pictures do the work!
That’s right, yet another photo-tastic photo competition for you to enter. This time it’s brought to you by the well known Body Shop. They’re starting Valentines early this year and want you to celebrate your love for the special people in your life.
How to enter?
This Saturday, February the 6th you can come along to Dundrum Town Centre and have your very own photo taken at The Body Shop which will be automatically entered into the draw. You can also post your photos online at The Body Shops Flickr page.
Claire from Gingerpixel, Red mum and myself will be picking the winner at the end, so get your great photos in!!!

The winner will receive dinner for two in the Roly Saul Restaurant in Dundrum, along with Body Shop goodies worth over €500. If that’s not cool enough, everybody who takes part in the photobooth with get 20% off everything in The Body Shop.
I was one of a the lucky few photographers invited along to the start of the ‘Cheer up Ireland’ campaign last Sunday. A fun fun photowalk put on by Simply Zesty and Vodafone Ireland. Vodafone Ireland are running a great new photo competition with a nice €3,000 shopping spree in Dundrum shopping centre for the winner.
A lovely new camera!!
I got this Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 last month and really love it. It’s waterproof and shockproof, perfect for kayaking! The photo quality is pretty good but the video is where it’s at. Amazing for on/in the water kayaking videos and perfect for behind the scenes video on the latest ‘Earthy Creatures’ shoots.
