Conceptual thoughts..

Sometimes photos just come together as planned, sometimes they evolve out of an idea. This image came out out of the later. It came from one of the shoots I did for Banks Hair & Beauty some time back. But the idea was going  round my head long before. I was asked to make an image for an EP cover by a very talented musician from Wicklow and the theme was 'setting thoughts or emotions free'. So I married a pic from this shoot with a pic I took of crows roosting in the Downs..I thought it might be a cool idea to try to visualise how thoughts become reality!! Let me know if you think it works ;)..

Big Thanks to..

Bankz Hair & Beauty

A little while back I had the pleasure to work with a great crew in Bankz Hair and Beauty Portlaoise. This is just one of my favourites from that shoot. When John Coss and Ciara O'Rielly decided upon this hair style it lead me to draw inspiration from Geisha ladies of the far east. The dress for this was borrowed from David Keane in the Storeyard (also in Portlaoise) and I managed to use it, and a few others, for more pics on other shoots. For the excellent make-up I must thank Roisin Balwin..and a big thanks to Barbara Aldritt, and all the staff in Bankz.  Lastly, to Clodagh Mulligan for being a good sport and a great model to work with.
