Achill Island - Ireland

One of those rare Irish summer evenings where the light is just beautiful. It was on the cards so I took full advantage of the forcast and headed out west to meet up with Caoimhe for an evening shoot.

I spent the day hanging out with Coaimhe and one of her friends getting a tour of the very beautiful Achill Island. It's a very special place, and as I'm standing looking over Keem Bay I can't help but wonder why I've never visited this part of the country before? I'd highly recommend a visit. I'm already planning a return when the weather starts to turn.

As the sun started to get low it was time to get to our location. All Caoimhe's idea and I think you can agree she really picked a beautiful spot. I was joined by a friend of mine Dan Rubin (@danrubin) who was visiting the country for a few days. Together we shot a few rolls of film, alternating between rolls. We'd only about 30 minutes of the light we wanted and sometimes I wish you could just stop time and shoot for a couple of hours. But we had what we had and I'm thankful for that!

Barcelona - Spain

Whenever I travel to a new city I try and organise a shoot with someone local if time should allow it. After placing a Casting Call up on a (mostly) spanish based database, I ended up being lucky enough to have Diana in front of my camera. We worked out what we'd like to shoot before I arrived in Barcelona. The AirB&B I was staying in had the most beautiful light flooding through the windows and I feel we certainly made the most of it.

All images shot on film using a Contax 645, Polaroid SX-70 and various film stocks.
