Hauntingly Beautiful !!

hey folks !!
So im excited to reveal the last of the edited shots from my latest shoot with Expressive Photos.
This time I really wanted to push myself and personally I think Ive done this.
In fairness this is my first ever fully self directed shoot.
From hair to clothes to make up.
I chose the looks and ideas ALSO DONE THE HAIR !!!,
The amazing Leah Murphy done the makeup
I really couldn't complain about anything on this shoot ,
Jay from expressive photography yet again was amazing to work with always getting those amazing shots and the fact that his studio is in a private castle even makes it all that much better!! ha.
I had the amazing pleasure working with Niamh Mc Keever , an Irish Model ,who is looking for new representation.
Ive known Niamh since secondary school and Ive always wanted to do a shoot with her.
She really is a hidden talent , so professional and just banged out shot after shot. n
Nearly every shot was usuable so it was hard to pick top 20 !!

The theme of the shoot.... I honestly haven't a notion but if i had to!!!
I would say I wanted a hauntingly beautiful look with a vintage high fashion approach .
I just was researching ideas , and putting ideas together and adapted my ideas from that.
I find it easier to base the shoot around looking at the clothes and seeing what would work!!
Its a weird feeling.
Ill just go into the shops and just start picking up things!
Then my whole train of thought will come together.
In fairness I will start the day with a general idea of what I want
But I always work around what I have and Im a firm believer of altering clothes and customizing them.
 If you see an item you like because of one or two aspects but its the wrong shape or size, especially if your working with vintage clothes then customize and alter it to your shape!
With the last dress in the corn field , I turned that back to front pinned it all up and changed the neckline
It turned into such a interesting dress
It was a size 16 the model was a size 8 .. be creative , this goes to everyone learn to alter your clothes to fit your shape don't dump something cause it doesn't fit properly not everone is the block size 8 10 12 14 etc , be creative! Makes you more Interesting ! lol

I hope you like the images , lots of criticism and comments would be nice , Im only starting in this crazy world that is fashoooooon styling . so lots of help along the way would be amazing thanks :D

Blast From The Past !!

hey everyone !!
Hope all is well with everyone ?
Thanks to everyone for all the lovely responses  to me setting up a blog .
To Jess Hefferman, she knows why ha .
Now , This is just a blast from the past.
Its from shoots ive been doing up to date for an agency i used to work for called SoManagement Agency ,
Which im still a stylist for !! I am bookable lol
I met with expressive photography through this agency and the rest is history.
I know work with expressive photography on a ongoing basis, which I love <3, because there driven, hard working and not full of fluff ,straight talking and to the point.
We have a lot of exciting stuff coming up so keep tuned ha
Now the following few things are from shoots I done from the past some are pretty cool, and some are well very weak but we all have to start somewhere ,,Dont we??
In order from most recent to oldest..


                                                      Shoudan Huang degree shoot
                                                      directed and hair styled by moi :)
This shoot was so random , i went along with holly because i was stayling in her house that night , and then i ended up doing the hair for the shoot and help direct the lighting and model
MODEL: The amazing Holly Carptenter (my best friend awwwww) shes the face of my blog for this month :D

behind the scenes us on the shoot :D

                                                    NCAD DEGREE SHOW MAGAZINE
 This was a shoot for Rebbeca Matthew's degree show magazine, I dunno how we ended up doing this , it was the day me and holly both handed up our end of year consolidation work we were both EXHAUSTED ..I look like shit..she looks amazing as always ,
The theme of the shoot was based around Holly's consolidation work and the fact she won Miss NCAD then won Miss University Ireland and is now going to win Miss Ireland , :D fingers crossed lol
I done the hair for this shoot and help direct it.
The clothes is all styled by holly and of course her make up as well.

                                  Rebbecca Dolans Portfolio Shoot with Expressive Photography


This shoot was sort of a themed shoot vintage appeal. Back then it was all very unorganized due to bad management skills by the organizer .I cant take full credit for the styling in this shoot as i wasnt able to attend the clothe lift day , I cant exactly remember why ha, anyway Karla Wheelan  picked up the clothes and on the day we choose the looks together and I put the looks together ,and helped with the hair styling and the makeup. but i full directed the shoot, helping the model with poses and helping her work out her light etc as it was her very first shoot, and since i spotted this girl for the agency i worked in.I <3 her ,shoot again soon with her..
I loved this shoot even though it was such a long day it gave me hope for styling and working in the industry .
I did do 2 shoots prior to this but the photos are to weak to show in my opinion , But I think it was more the fact it was the models starting out and for one shoot i was so hungover i couldnt focus ,So you live and learn never go out the night before a shoot ...BIG MISSTAKE!!!!!!! LOL ,

BEHIND THE SCENES 

Any way thats it guys , thats been my start in the world of styling my first few photo shoots of me being involved , next is a blog entry of my latest photo shoot thats COMPLETELY styled in every way by me :D yeahhhhhh , except i didnt take the pics ..or apply the makeup lol that was done by to other amazing people
Thanks for reading i know its a long one
mucho love

To The Start Of a New Adventure!

hey folks !
so its official ive started a blog :S ha
I know most of you are thinking !!
''Doesnt he rant enough over Facebook''
Well this is not just for having the rants and the bantz .
Its just to show people what ive been up to and whats going on in my life with work.
It will have a bit of everything in it. My uni work , Shoots ive been working on, Things that i find interesting, a bit of street style.
BUT I HAVE TO STRESS, that im not doing this for attention or to be ''alternative '',
Im just doing this for a place to show my work and get opinion and feedback,because Im truly sick of putting things on Facebook ,
Looking foward to to getting started,
Will more then likely back date stuff, showing what ive been up to in the past
Thanks for reading
Much Love
