So this is going to be a popular sight, our brand new Santiago Calatrava designed bridge in Dublin's dockalnds.

I have to say, it looks damn good. It'll look better when I get back there some evening for some 'blue hour' shots though...

One of the shots from the recent studio shoot with Helga Stibi.

I had come up with an idea of showing the aftermath or debris from a night out, and the photographer who was using the earlier session the studio donated the roses! I brought along some empty bottles, and makeup artist Sarah provided the handbag and it's contents.
