Mr Golden Sun

To a certain extent most of my recent work has been in studio (bar forays into pubs and clubs for the Galway Independent of course), and I probably have a reputation for lighting my work, even outside the studio. It's not strictly true, but Galway weather has a habit of putting pay to shooting with ambient light, making controlled lighting more necessary.Even worse, when the days were great recently, I was already booked in studio shooting stuff that needs to be shot indoors. So with the amazing mix of sun and little fluffy clouds yesterday, and no studio booking, I had to get out (despite the biting wind). Initially I contacted a model who's been itching to do a lookbook with designer fashion, but she wasn't feeling well. All was not lost though, and the wonderful Ciara K Gallagher was available and up for it. Ciara does a lot of hair modelling, but she's much more versatile than just that. Unfortunately for me, and probably fortunately for Dublin photographers, she's moving to the capital this summer.We did a few looks and locations, and unusually for me, there's only one outfit. Here's my favourite from each set. Some are stronger than others, but I want to show the whole natural light shoot. Stick through to the end to see the sunset as we headed back to the car and into the warmth!
