McWilliam Gallery & Studio between May and October 2012. The 80 page hard-backed book was the biggest of the books I've designed for the Gallery, and being a fan of Blackshaw's work made it possibly the most enjoyable. The fantastic mix of styles in the exhibition makes for a beautiful catalogue, which was a pleasure to design, and in honesty, it would have been difficult to mess this one up given the works contained. The opening of the exhibition was a great success and so I took the opportunity to shoot a short piece that I hope will reflect some of the atmosphere on the evening.

One of the reasons for the lack of updates has been because of a new focus and passion in getting a new business venture off the ground. I will be collaborating with Paula O'Hara Photography under the new name of Story of Eve. We are currently finalising the website and branding, so be sure to check back here for a link! This was Story of Eve's first creative shoot and we couldn't have asked for a more patient couple to work with. Johnny and Stacy were so natural in front of the camera, and you would never guess how cold it was by looking at them. The whole day was so relaxed and the sun coming out just finished the day perfectly. Check out for the full photoshoot.

You can buy a copy of the catalogue from Amazon by clicking on this link. "The exhibition, which is an installation of sculpture, drawings and sound, follows the success of the ‘The Surreal in Irish Art’ exhibition which ran throughout the summer of 2011 and proved very popular with both tourists and locals. The sculpture that forms the centrepiece of the exhibition is created from four engraved perspex cubes within cubes. This form echoes the central space of the gallery and reflects light and colour from the skylight above and the window to the garden beyond." For more information go to the F.E.
