ABOUT ME
I've been shooting properly for 4-5 years now. Started with film, but quickly went to Digital SLR. As DSLR users know, it can speed your development immensely.
I shoot Studio/Location and do Landscape and Commercial work also.
I am am Adobe Community Expert for Lightroom. I write my own Lightroom Blog, along with contributing to Lightroom-News.com.


I also develop plugins for Lightroom. My LRB Portfolio website in a gallery plugin in quite popular.

I'm expanding my shooting style and am constantly striving to learn more and pass on what I can.

I'm active in my local club Galway Camera Club and was chairman last season. I seem to be good at taking on too much.
I'm happy to allow images to be passed on to a proficient/proven retoucher.

Recently I was chosen SWPP Family Portraiture and Groups Society International Photographer of the Year 2008.

I was recently made an Adobe Community Expert.

One expression. It never hurts to have an arsenal of looks.

Mind you I've had some interesting conversation recently on evoking expressions. It was just a scratch at the surface, but it might make a difference in the long run!

I usually do, but was so busy and distracted with other things over Christmas that I didn't pay as much attention to this as I should have. Just goes to prove that shit happens when you are least prepared for it!

Hi Sean,

Good to hear from you. You seem to be keeping a low profile these days - probably just too busy with the business of "real" photography I guess.  Congrats on the addition to PhotoTraining4U!

Things are quiet and busy for me at the moment, depending on which side of the fence you are on. Had a HDD failure the other day on my primary drive, so no editing or retouching until I get that sorted out  Fingers crossed I haven't lost too much data. Not sure what the problem is yet, but definitely drive related.

Cheers,

Thorsten.
