Stress in a Red Dress

Every so often I like to take a day out and shoot a personal project. Its great to photograph with the creative team – without the pressure of deadlines and all that usually goes with such a shoot. The day started out with a Gothic Bride Theme. This is something I always wanted to shoot and the historic town of Birr Co Offaly provided great backdrops.

No photography shoot is ever possible without a great team. The fantastic make up was by Carmel Ryan – Glow, Roscrea Co Tipperary. Styling for the shoot was by Catherine Dwyer at Contemporary Bride, Birr. Our model for the day was Lorelei Swan who played the part to perfection.

The next image is my signature shot for my entry in this years Sony World Photography Awards. This is the only competition I ever enter but continue to do so every year.
