Having spent the last 20 years flying whenever possible with Aer Lingus, it was great to be rewarded earlier in the year with a great series of ads commissioned by Paddy Gerraghty at Irish International (and they say there's no such thing as Karma!)
The last time I shot a campaign for Aer Lingus it was completed about a month before 9/11 and the campaign was pulled without ever running.

So we were eager to get to work and I called in Paddy Daly at Yoke Productions to produce the shoot and Stefano Cherubini from Happyfinish in London worked on the retouching.
The Batman cowl was sourced and finished by Ben Millar models in London from a replica of the original piece.
If I had a €1 for every time someone said 'I see you've bought your seats for France this year!
Speaking of Kevin Leahy (art director - Irish International) we shot two transatlantic business class ads for him recently and this time.
I shared the retouching with Kevin Brookes at Irish International. I completed the effects and grading. I'm very happy with the final ads despite not being allowed to take any pictures over chicago, NYC, Paris and London !
