ICE QUEEN
U Magazine shoot which I shot a few weeks ago at the ice rink in Smithfield. Was very fun. Tried to create a fun young shoot this time, rather than anything too high fashion. Am very happy with it. Thank god the girls could ice skate.. They were great on the ice! well done! We went skating ourselves after… We only lasted 10 mins on the ice.. we were extrememly tired after a long days’s shoot (is our excuse) oh, and the skates really hurt.

*ALEK WEK*
Here are some shots I took of one of my idols Alek Wek a few weeks back. I was so nervous. She is such a big world supermodel and what if my pics are shit? I mean, if I manage to make Alek look bad then that definitley means I am the worst photographer in the whole wide world. How can anyone make her look bad, she is just so beautiful. So anyway, I am not too happy with these shots as a whole, but keep reminding myself that these were just press shots, rather than a high fashion shoot. I had about 2 mins. I still think she has something very powerful in her eyes in the first shot, and I love her laugh in the second shot. I just wish I had done something more.. I don’t really know what. Hopefully there will be a next time.
On a shoot in Kerry…
flew over to Kerry yesterday for a shoot in Aghadoe Heights Hotel. What a lovely spot! We were to fly back that same evening so really had to rush on the shoot. It was a long day…. Got to the airport for our flight back to discover that there is a little delay of about 30 mins. That turned to one hour, then two hours and finally we flew with a 3 hour delay. And me and Martha had to fight the grumpy stupid ladys at the counter to get our food vouchers. I finally got home at around 11.30 and was soooooo tired. Just about enough energy to pack my gear as it was back to the airport for another early morning flight.. I think I had about 8 hours sleep in 3 days.
