John O'Dowd

I shot a poster for John O'Dowd's last play 'The Head of Red O'Brien'. It's a long and entertaining monologue. I have to say that having read it, I admired John's tenacity in getting through it. It's rather wordy, so he really did a great job with it. For the poster John donned a wetsuit, shirt and head bandage and ducked into the freezing cold waters of the River Corrib to get a great shot that I love.Time doesn't stand still though, so I was glad when John came to me for a new headshot recently. While I love shooting well lit studio portraits, of late I've been tending towards natural light for my headshots. So here's the one John picked. He texted to say his agent loved it too.
