Ballykisteen Hotel




Over the years it was always a pleasure handling wedding photography at Ballykisteen Hotel, Tipperary. This is a superb wedding venue backed with a fantastically friendly and professional staff. Thanks for making my job so easy any time I am out there with you guys.

Here is a montage of the hotel's design features. See you all again really soon.

Normandy




Two graphically designed images here of Normandy in France. Very often the resemblance to the Irish landscape is uncanny. I guess that's why Steven Spielberg used Wexford as a stand in Normandy 1944 in Saving Private Ryan.

The two pictures are the American Cemetery at Coleville-Sur-Mer (spot toned) and a fusion of the bell tower at St. Mere-Eglise with the sandbars of Omaha Beach at the St. Laurent Draw. Great memories of good friends in Normandy. Pas de Guerre encore !

The world of music




It was a great pleasure today to spend some time photographing friend and up and coming singer / songwriter Fergal Nash. I have known Fergal now for quite some time and its always great to catch up on his burgeoning catalogue of original songs.

I tried to capture Fergal in his song writing environment, using lots of duo toning and creating these graphically designed spreads.

So there you have it - always refreshing to work around a real talent. By the way - want to catch up with Fergal - check out the Whitehouse on Tuesday nights and Lock Bar on Thursday nights.
