Johnny Walker Viral

I know, I know. I should be blogging more about photography and photographers. And I will get back to that. But people keep sending me on really interesting video content. Like this viral for Johnny Walker. The story goes that it took 40 takes but when they got it right they got the whole thing right, so no cuts at all.

My Inspiration

From the 60’s cult classic ‘Blow Up’ by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni, an early scene demonstrating the character of our ‘hero’ photographer Thomas…Now, I just need to work on my people skills..

garda recruitment work

Finn — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 10:03:01 +0000

Jody Monaghan, Joanne McLaughlin and myself just finished the first part of a spec campaign for Garda Recruitment. (never thought I’d be shooting that!) It all looks great and we’re keen to get it into the agencies for their opinions. In fact, the creative duo are this morning meeting with a creative director. So by lunchtime we’ll have someone’s opinion. Have a look below for two outdoor ads and then a three image idea for a possible ambient idea.

Keith Payne Shoot

Got a last minute call last friday to work up some images for Keith Payne, the Salamanca based Irish poet. He’s got a slot in the Salamanca International Arts Festival later this year and needed some imagery. Quite last minute – the printer needed something by lunchtime! Here’s the shoot happening and one of the finished pieces.

CGI Short by Alex Roman

Wow. Lost. For. Words. This is both exhilarating, beautiful, superbly crafted and really frightening all at the same time. 12 minutes long and took the guy 12 months to make. Hat firmly off.
