Plus it’s a pretty good way to get me and State’s Art Director to look at your work!
Make ‘em good

Is out on May 1st, next Thursday. Another high-quality piece of work.

Feel free to drop me a line about the Gemma shoot and the Hasselblad.

Crikey, my last (but one) post was about the State Magazine launch a.k.a. Issue One. Issue Two, our Muse cover/interview, hit the stores yesterday - on the same day that I popped my State cherry and shot the cover photo for Issue 3 (out on the first Thursday in May). Of course the subject of that particular shoot will have to remain a secret for a few weeks to stop those sneaky types getting up to their old tricks ;) Needless to say that once I can spill the beans I will post something here as it was the first outing for the ‘blad CWD mentioned below.
Watch this space!

I picked up a Hasselblad 503CWD from www.dml.ie last week. I hope to give it a commercial outing very soon.
It has a nice ‘no-frills’ digital back with that retro vibe for the V system. It has a 1.5 crop factor but is still square. If you’re interested in the results let me know.
More info here.
