The Callback Queen

Fun was had in April and May of 2011. It was early April that I got the exciting opportunity to work with the vivacious cast and crew of the soon to be released feature film "The Callback Queen". Not only did I revel in the craic and the odd cupan tae with the exceptional leading lady Amy Joyce Hastings and fellow Irishman director Graham Cantwell, but I also experienced the hard work, dedication and support that knits any production together. It is this camaraderie and dedication to the craft that gives the viewer the escapism and entertainment that we celebrate the film industry for. So support the young creatives of our generation and check out the links below. Don't forget to like their facebook page too:

Sara Lofwander- Photographer

Working with the aspiring young fashion photographer Sara Lofwander, despite the freezing cold, was an exhilarating experience. The young Swedish photographer is an exciting creative who has a skillful eye attuned to ethereality and grace. Her images flow femininely between the female body and the environment that surrounds her.

Wearable Art in Egg Nightclub London, Alternative London Fashion Week February 2011

When the inspired up and coming designer Riina Oun contacted me to assist with make-up for her show at the Wearable Art showcase in Egg Nightclub as part of Alternative London Fashion Week, I leapt at the chance. Not only was Riina's work eclectic and vibrant, but the medium through which she had created her designs, namely leather, tweaked a chord with my own sense of creativity. I particularly loved the haunting two-faced handbag from Oun's Nataraja Collection.

SANA.London

This was a shoot that myself and a colleague from Bobbi Brown worked on for the shirt designers of SANA.London.

Some of my first

Luna Lyss

Luna denotes moon in Latin and Lyssa is Greek for madness. I liked the idea of the juxtaposition of the two mythological greats and have always enjoyed the connection between madness, the moon and the female form. Looking at the moon, no matter what phase it is in, is not only intoxicating and enchanting but utterly bewitching. As wispy clouds shimmer  in the moonshine  I noticed the most fascinating study of light and dark.   So I created this look, wanting to invoke an aura and an alluring eeriness. 

Reinie de la Nuit - Queen of the Night

I fell in love with the exoticism of the peacock's plumage and the deep, rich, sensuous colours. It reminded me of the ultra opulence of Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. Black lips screamed dark, gothic eroticism at me as opposed to the conventional red. Strip lashes on the lower lash line open up the eye, creating a wider, more feminine attraction.
