Series of portraits of Irish Olympians for Cara Magazine

After many weeks of tracking down a selection of Irish Olympic qualifiers, Editor Fran Power lined up 6 competitors and manager Sonia O'Sullivan for photography. This was by no means easy as everyone was in the middle of many long hours of training in preparation for the games in summer. 

I had an idea in my mind how the portraits could work but it wasn't really until we got to each of the locations that the final compositions presented themselves. I particularly like the training hall that we photographed Darren O'Neill at, in the National Stadium, but undeniably the most dramatic had to be the Military Road, where we shot Mark Kenneally. The trickiest, in terms of the shoot, was photographing Grainne Murphy as she had a busy training schedule.  We hoped to do an underwater shot, but time was against us, and despite having managed to source the underwater equipment, we didn't get a chance to make it happen. 

For those unfortunate who are not travelling Aer Lingus this month, here's Cara Magazine's July edition.


We are delighted to say that about 36 posters of these portraits will be displayed all around Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport, and in Heathrow all summer long to support the Irish Olympic team. More on this coming soon.

Trevor Hart - Irish Rugby series in Cara April/May

Fran Power, editor of the Aer Lingus magazine CARA asked me to shoot a series of portraits for a story about the people behind Irish Rugby for the April / May issue. As many of my friends already know, I'm not a huge sports fan but I know enough to be grateful to Jonathan Sexton for making it to the shoot less than 24 hours after the re-scheduled Paris match. Despite having a stomach bug and feeling generally battered from the match he arrived and  performed magnificently.


A big thanks to Mark Jones at the ERC and everyone who gave us their time, especially Claire Seale who co-ordinated the shoot on behalf of the Aviva Stadium and gave us access to this amazing facility. I also want to thank Jane Gribbin and Christine Lucignano for make up.

Cara Magazine Cookery School series

Commissioned by Fran Power at Cara this is our third portfolio featuring some of the best cookery schools and their teachers in Ireland. It was great to meet these great chefs and I was particularly happy to photograph Darina and Rachel together in Darina's own kitchen. During the shoot we were also treated to some delicious food, most notably lunch at Ballymaloe and at Lyons with Clodagh and tea with Eimer Rainsford and Catherine Fulvio !

Cara Magazine Musicians

This is our second shoot for Cara, the Aer Lingus in-flight magazine. It was shot over 2 days at Odessa in Dublin city centre. Lauren McCreery was the stylist and Brown Sugar did hair & make-up. I did my own colour grade and retouching for this shoot. Odessa is a great location but quite difficult to light so we used all the 7b's and used a little bit of daylight also. It was great to meet all the artists and to talk to Lisa Hannigan a little bit about her new album. A big thank you to Lisa and the other artists, Matthew Jacobson, Claudia Boyle, Padraic Keane, Bressie and Jennifer Walshe for their patience and time.

The new edition of the Aer Lingus in-flight magazine CARA is out today and I'm delighted to have  been commissioned by its new editor, Fran Power to shoot a series of photographs featuring key people involved in the Irish racing industry. We enjoyed two days of shooting at the Curragh in Kildare with a typical mixed bag of Irish weather. I would like to thank Lynda Fraher from Horse Racing Ireland who produced the shoot and worked with us throughout to help pull everyone together. Here is a selection from the spreads and a video of the shoot can be seen below.

A special thank you to Gary Carroll, Justin Carthy, Richie Galway, Lucy Stack, Jessica and Kate Harrington and Mariann Klay for giving us so much of their time.
