Mo Mhorchoir Fein...


I recently shot the stills for a dance film, Mo Mhorchoir Fein, choreographed and performed by Fearghus O' Conchuir, and produced by Red Shoe productions. We shot in the church in Dolphins Barn, and were fortunate to have beautiful, mostly even light all day, diffused gorgeously through the stained glass. Have to work a little differently on set as you can't shoot during takes, only rehearsals, and you pretty much have to stay out of the way of everybody else on set! But I love shooting film stills; you have to be on your toes all the time, looking for a great moment. You generally only get one shot, especially on a shoot like this, where the entire film was shot in a day, leaving very little time for rehearsals!

Mo Mhorchoir Fein will be screened on RTE in May in a series entitled 'Dance on the Box' which is airing to coincide with the Dublin Dance Festival.

Faces in Places...

Hello, people of the interweb. I've been a little slow with the old bloggerry-doodad of late, but I'm on the catch-up now. Photographing portraits on location is my big thing, I love the contextual subtext that a location adds to a portrait. So here's a selection of my editorial portraiture that might pass a spare minute. Thanks for looking...
