Alin Jaleru portraits, award winning barber
Some recent pics of Alin Jaleru of Royal Chamber Barbers in Malahide, Co. Dublin for Irish Hairdresser magazine. Alin is a recent award winner. I’m liking the whole “Sweeney Todd” vibe….the killer barber.

Hi folks, my first blog post for the new year and new decade. Happy New Year to you all. This is a job I shot last year for the comparison website Uchoose.ie. Some of you may remember the press advertisements a couple of months ago (in Ireland that is!).
As well as shooting all the photography for press and poster, the client needed at least 12 to 15 frames per second of the Sandwich Board characters moving about, which would then be cut together to create an animated piece for web and viral marketing. To make life a lot easier for all concerned, I was able to shoot this part of the job in HD digital video with the Canon 5D Mark 2.
By combining the stills for press and poster, and the video for the web and viral part of the campaign in one day, this saved a lot of time and money. And eliminated the need for a second person to shoot the video. All round, a very happy agency and client. Plus an exciting little campaign to boot. Click on “Sandwich Board Chorus” below to see the characters in “action”. You can compose your own tune and try to win a few quid at the same time.

A couple of recent shots for Karl Tyrrell and the team at Ozlo Hair Design in Dublin. Inspiration was the Eighties (in case you hadn’t guessed) and singer La Roux.

Question: How do you make a traditional Irish ceili band look slick and sexy? Answer: Easy….just send them to me!
This is a job I shot a while back for the Innisfree Ceili Band for their lastest CD cover artwork. It was a miserable morning weather wise over the summer in the Wicklow mountains but we managed to get some beautiful pictures in the end. I applied some interesting retouching techniques to give the pictures a traditional yet contemporary feel.
A big thanks to my buddy and photographer Peter Evers for helping out with the location in Annamoe.

This is a job I completed back in August for Britvic Ireland. It involved shooting a few hundred portraits of their staff throughout 4 sites in Ireland which were then used in a “mosaic” effect to create the Britvic “Heroes” campaign. Take a look at some of great characters that were photographed and the final “Heroes” images that were constructed using the hundreds of other images.





Below are two examples of the finished Britvic “Heroes” images that were put together using hundreds of other images and the “hero’s” original portrait to create the mosaic.
