The Irish Alternative Eoin Murphy

Hey Folks

Hope your all keeping well !!!
Just an update of my latest shoot !
This was another fully self directed Photo shoot!!
It was a shoot that I really wanted to do but was yet so worried about !!
I love alternative style. The people who take that indie /character styling to a whole new level!
The people who love to stand out for all the right reasons.
I personally wouldn't be daring enough to wear this style on a daily basis ha !
I finally got the chance to let my imagination run wild with this idea ,
I personally don't like outdoor shoots and rather minimal backgrounds the styling and lighting tho do all the talking.
I personally think this my favorite shoot to date , mainly because I got someone to pull off the looks that I find interesting.
Some people may not like it , But I do , ha
A HUGEEEEE  thank you has to go to a few people.

Eoin Murphy the model it was his first ever all day studio shoot , and he completely rocked it , we were all so delighted to work with him , He is currently unsigned so he is available for work .

Theres a Fabulous store in rathmines called Green With Envy  an Amazing treasure trove of fabulous vintage furs and clothes. Id advise anyone looking for that special one off vintage piece, have a pit stop there, If you cant get something you can always have a chat with the charismatic owner  Margaret , such a lovely and  interesting woman! As this is where I got some of the clothes from.

Another shout out that  have the pleasure of giving , is that of the tshirt company , Plain White Tshite!!
They are so much fun and Im in love with there Tshirts , SO excited to see there new range coming out next week based on Nerd Core , I got the inside view ..... Only because I was asked to model for there new campaign , and I can tell use this ITS SO NERD CORE :)

Anyway thanks for reading yet again and thanks to all the people that have messaged me about my blog. Its NOT PROFESSIONAL , Its just to get my work and point of view across!!

Thanks for reading

Turn Rebbeca Into A Boy ..This Month In Shoots !!

Hey folks !!

So yet again this is another shoot , :)
This time it was with Rebecca Dolan !
A girl that I scouted when I used to work for an agency!!
We actually done her first ever shoot when she joined the agency .
We saw alot of potential in her , So when she contacted us when she left the agency because she wanted new representation, she asked would we do a shoot with her.
Of course we obliged :)
AS she recently got onto Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model and got through to the point of meeting the judges !!
so with all this new experience we were looking forward to shooting her!

The plan for the shoot , ''Turn Rebecca Into A Boy'' 
well not exactly I love the theme Androgyny
So I decided I wanted to do a more masculine theme, sexy masculine!
I love her face so i knew she could pull it off
She pulled it out of the bag!!!
we done a soft look to start then turned it right around to more edgy!

This Month In Shoots !!

Hey Folks !!!

The last two weeks have been absolutely hectic with shoots!
We just havent stopped.
I say we and I mean myself and Expressive Photography and make up artist Leah Murphy
and Katy Quinlan assisting
We have had 4 shoots in 2 weeks!
Some people may not think this is alot but when you think of the preparation and  post work of a shoot its alot .WELL to me it is anyway !! ha
Day before the shoot: Go pull looks , then do inventory of what you have going on the day.
Day of shoot : Style the shoot and do hair !!well that's quite self explanatory ha.
Day after shoot: Morning leave all clothes back to the different stores.
so having 2 between Monday and Friday was good bit of work ,
Always fun though :S ha
The first shoot was with a girl who wanted just photos for her self , was a great wee shoot , alot different then usual because we didn't have to try and get the best out of the model trying to compete with industry standards
Unfortunately I cant post these photos as they where for clients use only!!


Next was a girl called Niamh Cunningham , she was from Crossmaglen and traveled up because she wanted a portfolio shoot with Expressive Photography after seeing the shots we done for Niamh Mc Keever
It was a great evening of shooting as the banter was brilliant and we all shared alot of laughs
We also had another recruit on shoot ,Danielle Lynch a  photographer bassed in newry, who came along to get the expereience of a fashion shoot .she brought buns she was very loved , ha
 Here are some of the images.

SO folks , I'd say you's are all wondering where I got that AMAZING blue and silver diamante dress
I got it in the amazing store that is Lara Boutique Dublin 
Its a Jovani dress , Lara's one of the only boutiques that sell these show stopping dresses in Ireland. 
Girls If yous havent been there before , get down there asap!!!!
Especially if your looking a debs/formal dress.
I popped in and yet they never fail to provide me with STUNNING dresses for shoots.
The staff are so helpful and friendly and go out of your way to help.
Loved Lara Caseys shoes when I was in , Strutting around in her gorgeous Terry de Havilland heels, Looking fabulous of course !!
she then told me that they are available in the store.
Between Lara and the Amazing Ciara o Connor you couldn't get better service.





Cheeky little snap behind the scenes while I was styling her hair

Lots more posts coming soon.
