“FWA Photo, a daily showcase highlighting some of the world’s most inspirational photography”

Here is one of my submissions which made Photo of the Day on the 27th of January. This is the second time my work has been showcased on the popular site, the last time was this image of John Cooper Clarke.

The image can be viewed here: http://www.fwaphoto.com/#/2011-01-27/

Here is the cover for then new wedding magazine Franc Wedding Secrets. Shot in Kinsale Harbour, Peter Kelly a.k.a. Franc is pictured with Etaoin O’hAilpin from Lockdown. This as one tough shoot. Even though it was overcast, it was still very bright with light bouncing off the water. Coupled with the dress which was almost almost white against against the white deck, it really was challenging. At one stage I had to get into a dinghy to circle the boat trying to find new angles. Good fun was had. The launch of the magazine recieved a lot of coverage in the media with TV3, The Herald and The Tribune covering it. Franc Wedding Secrets is on the shelves now.

Interesting to see how my images are being used - in this case the result of a shoot of Mantra Bar & in Maynooth.

My friends at Passion for Creative. This in demand marketing firm based in Waterford are literally a one stop shop for everything from brand design, marketing strategy all the way through to copywriting and public relations.

This is a recent group shot I did for them ..

Shot on location in Muckross Park Hotel & Cloisters Spa in Co Kerry.

needless to say the most difficult shot to get was the one that was not used! I had to get into my togs, get into the pool and tripod mount the camera about 4 inches above the water to get this shot.

And finally, one of my favourite shots of the day. Everything from ambient light to strobe to colour to composition is just nicely balanced ..

Here is a shoot for Waterford Hospice that ended up in Waterford Today and The Waterford News & Star to launch the Waterford Hospice “Sunflower Day”

Jack Lynch would like to remind everyone to please support Waterford Hospice Sunflower Day, which takes place on Friday the 12th of June, to help raise funds for this vital service. Sunflower Day is one of two national fundraising days for hospice care, and it?s important to note that all funds raised in Waterford and South Kilkenny will stay in Waterford and South Kilkenny. Hospice care is provided free of charge, regardless of income. Waterford Hospice provides medical care and support for people who are suffering from a life limiting illness, and for those who love them. Hospice  care is the total active care of patient and family at that stage of serious illness  when the focus has shifted from providing  treatment aimed at cure to ensuring the best possible quality of life.  Waterford Hospice supplies specialised equipment for pain control and comfort as well as psychological and social support for the patients and their families. The range of services includes pain control, symptom relief, skilled nursing care, counselling, and bereavement support.
