Ms. Blue Ruin
Some images from a recent shoot with Ms. Blue Ruin (Lydia Farrell) in Dublin. We came up with a theme based around a day at the beach, and as Lydia has an interest in 1940′s/50′s vintage style I was able to work on some pin-up shots.
This image was taken relatively early into the shoot (we started at around 6 PM so plenty of natural light at that stage). Just one flash here as a fill light.
As the evening wore on the sunset colours began to add a nice backdrop to our work. In this shot Lydia is holding an old TLR camera I had at home, which I felt went well with the retro theme.

More strobist fun…I picked this up on the street & took it home.
Lit by a single 430EXii, slighty left & above the camera, 1/8 power, with a homemade grid on the flash.

Makeup Shoot #2

A shot from a recent shoot at the Portobello Institute in Dublin. I got in touch with the tutor of their makeup course who was looking for a photographer to take a few shots for the students in the class.
It was a good experience – this was really the first time I’ve done a setup entirely on my own & it worked very well. There were some black cloth-covered partitions available as a backdrop, so with my light stands and a couple of flashes I worked away at it.
In this shot I’m only using one flash (Canon 430EXII with a shoot-through umbrella).
Makeup artist was Amie Doyle.
