Truth or Dare

This is a fashion shoot that I shot for this months issue of Vice magazine, Germany.

The concept was truth or dare. For the moral support of all involved I did some dares too.

Lee Jeans

This is a shoot I did for Lee Jeans at Bread & Butter in Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport. The place was crowded and so sadly I couldn’t use the cool interiors of the airport but had to find areas less populated.

Bitches with Wolves – Fashion Shoot

Here is the shoot as published in Totally Dublin:

Covering Album Covers

This studio shoot was done for the Arnott’s Project where we took people from the new Arnotts store and turned the into classic rock stars. Here’s Neil or should I sat David.

Kosovo – Electronic Musicians without Electricity

In December 2008 we ventured to Pristina, Kosovo in search of the music scene. The nation was barely a year old. With great interest I read throughout the year about the youngest country in the world with over 60% of it’s population under 30 years old. So we went unsure of what to expect and had the best time ever.

Self Portrait

I recently discovered this little ole photo booth on a street corner a few blocks from the apartment I had in Berlin. €2 a photo strip. An hour well spent.

The Aran Islands

The only part of Ireland that wasn’t occupied by the English was Inis Meain, which remains today one of the only places in Ireland that the Irish language survived. For this project reviving what few phrases I could recall from my school years was the challenge.

The approach taken was to visit all three islands of Aran and meet the characters that lived there.

Paraic Poil

Good Vibrations

If there was a Charlie and the chocolate factory for adults and by adults I really mean women, you’d find it in Bremen, Germany. When we arrived we were met with smiles and given the tour. The factory floor was bright and full of colour and smiles like a kids playgroup.

Getting full access to a dildo factory kinda like getting the answers to a multiple choice test before you know the questions. What does that mean? I have no idea. Felt right when I typed it.

It was an education. I’ve never talked so frankly to women about their personal time. I also was never more thankful for having a camera thats big enough to cover my laughter when I work. Oh no wait, there was a talent contest that I photographed once where I was thankful for that too.

Yes I felt as uncomfortable as I look. I got over it. After all, I’m a better listener.

Yes, that’s a scissors…..and yes, that’s a dildo.

dick head……I mean that in the best possible way.

This is not by any means the best photograph that I’ve ever made. So why did it make the cut? Well when you meet a woman whose jobs it is to design dildos, and you ask her to draw one for you, you better believe you should remember that moment.

Firm market position.
