New Project, needs you...

I am looking for people to take part in a new project I am shooting as part of my Masters Degree in Photography. The project is about new build apartment developments and housing estates from the last ten years, it is part landscape and part portrait, part documentary, part fictional. 

I am looking for people to get involved who live or work in these type of new developments. If you would like to find out more or get involved please contact me, everybody welcome:

Glaoch

These are some stills I shot for this lovely production by South Wind Blows in Áras an Uachtaráin featuring Glen Hansard, Lisa Hannigan, Bono, Roisin O, The Script, Imelda May, Seamus Heaney and more.

From RTE.ie:

At the President's invitation, some of Ireland's and the world's renowned writers, musicians and singers, as well as emerging artists, gathered at the home of the President of Ireland to make a special programme dedicated to Irish people worldwide. The performances of all the artists were filmed in Áras an Uachtaráin allowing viewers everywhere to experience the historic and beautiful home of the Presidents of Ireland. 

Speaking about the project, President Higgins said:
"I am very grateful to all the artists who responded so positively to my invitation to be part of this worldwide call to Irish people to celebrate an Irishness of which we can all be proud. I am very pleased that RTÉ and The Gathering 2013 agreed to be partners in this important initiative.

Exhibition: Photography at Newport

University of Wales, Newport is celebrating 100 years of photography at the University with a massive exhibition on November 30th at the Newport City Campus. 

They have asked graduates to submit work which will profile the University's influence on the world of the photography since the establishment of the renowned Documentary Photography course in 1973 by David Hurn. I was lucky enough to be a graduate of this course in 2004 and some of my work will feature as part of this show. The website is well worth a look as it profiles some great photographers who went through the course over the years, including this lad...
