Posting this from the beautiful surroundings of La Cueva, a bar in Tarifa, Spain, owned by my friend Scott MacNaughton. Wanted to get a post in for June, before the month runs out.

The light in Dublin has been great lately with the recent good weather. Here’s a beautiful daylight shot of classical pianist Finghin Collins, which we shot for his upcoming album artwork. Finghin recorded his album in the National Concert Hall and the image was taken in an old part of the building which is now unused. Looking forward to seeing the finished artwork for Finghin’s album, which will be produced by Claves Records from Switzerland (my first client from Switzerland!).

Will post up some shots of the stunning locations in Tarifa, there are amazing locations here for so many shoots. Tarifa is a old Moorish town at the southern tip of Spain, well known for it’s beaches, bars and kite surfing.

Hoping to shoot some test fashion (swimwear) around Marbella later this week. It’s a tough life……

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.
