LOVELY HANDMADE BURGERS WITH PANACHE.

The Epicurean Food Hall on Abbey St. in Dublin is now home to Byrne's Handcrafted Burgers.
The meat arrives to the kitchen in joints and is minced and prepared on site. You can watch if you like that sort of thing and see the butcher's blocks and the other traditional fittings. All the are ingredients natural and wholesome. And all backed with years of knowledge gained as a Master Butcher and Restauranteur. You can even order a beer with your food - how civilised. The burger above is the cranberry, brie and bacon. Lovely.

Irish Dairy Board Shoot

Working with the Irish Dairy Board - who produce and market Kerrygold amongst many other dairy products - I photographed a series of set ups involving people and food. It was a challenging assignment, working with the client and food stylist we came up with a series of scenarios and recipes with people enjoying different occasions. We used a large amount of models, all of which I sourced for each set up and photographed them in various locations around Dublin. (And no, that's not Naples but beautiful Howth in the intro' shot above.)

Peas Please!

I'd never seen a field of peas before until Batchelors asked me to photograph one of their ‘pea’ suppliers farms. It was a fun but tough assignment. A farm growing 35 acres of peas that had just come into flower. You might remember that the weather last summer was atrocious. The delicate flowers were getting a battering from the unclement wind and rain. Luck was on our side. We got a chink in the weather and I spent a late afternoon and a sunrise morning shooting the impressive crop before the clouds came back and sucked all the light away.

2011 Presidential Campaign.

I was delighted to be asked to photograph Michael D. Higgins during his successful campaign for the President of Ireland. We spent some interesting time together on location and in studio. A lovely man to work with. The cream for me was having one of the portraits used on his latest book - Renewing the Republic - http://www.libertiespress.com

Here are some more portraits we shot during the campaign.

Thank you all for your highly entertaining captions. They brought a smile to my lips over the Christmas period. After much debate the jury decided - a split decision, on the winning caption.
                                                         

'Nice planet. We'll take it.'

Thank you Ciaran Downey of One House Communications - a bottle of Champagne winging itself to you as I write.
