Family group photographs

Formal or casual, the family portrait has been part of our photographic heritage since the invention of photography. Though I tend to be hired for my informal portraits, I seldom complete a session without being asked for at least one family group shot. Here are a few recent examples.

Irish Summer Evening

Cool August evening, on my way to kick the wall in Salthill!

Fashion photography for the business person.

Here are a couple of business style "fashion" portraits from a recent shoot to create some images for Just Mens Tailors - who are now offering bespoke tailored suits for Business Women.

Busy bees!

Took a break from editing in a hot studio to snap some bees buzzing in the lavender.

My admiration goes out to any wildlife photographer - it is not easy!

Asian Colour

A little Asian colour to brighten up this cool dull July morning. Thai dancing at Jim Thompson in Singapore. Please keep an eye out for my upcoming photo essay on this exotic land of contrasts.

Family portrait photography in Dublin

Photographing birthday and anniversary parties is often challenging but always great fun. It takes a lot of practice to to get the right balance between capturing the atmosphere of the day, focusing on the personalities of those involved and to produce memorable group shots as well.

The youngest family members always provide much of the entertainment. While games, races and singsongs always make for some great family photos. It was a beautiful sunny day for Ann and Jeremiah's golden wedding anniversary party and as you can see, the whole family really enjoyed themselves. And as a nice bonus at this party, there was some really good cake as well! Here are some favorites images from the day.

Corporate Portrait

A relaxed business portrait of Ian Doyle shot on location. Five minutes to set up, five to shoot a series of portraits and five to clear down. Using daylight as the key light with a daylight bulb lighting the background.
