Behind the Scenes & Inspirational Photographers
This will show anyone who is interested, how we as Press photographers or at other times, get the images we get. Sometimes you have almost nothing to work with and that is where the real skill comes in.
I also aim to show you some other photographers that I am looking at, and you might enjoy their work or it might inspire you too, let me know if you have any suggestions.

Photographers that inspire me
AFP Photographer Oli Scarff
Doug Mills NYT
Doug Mills works at the White House and mainly covers the pressident of the USA . I think he was suprised when I asked if he would do a picture with me on his short visit to Ireland with former President Trump to Ireland. However he is one of the best photographers around when it comes to photographing Presidents, What i love about the USA is that they like to use different styles and are not afraid to use really dark contrasty images, not that papers here in Ireland do not but in my opinion might no use as many dark contrasty images like they do in the US.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards.
Arthur Edwards is one of the British Royal photographers which I have had the pleasure of working alongside on his tours of Ireland. Arthur is almost as famous as the Royal family members. If your ever on a royal tour he will often be asked pre the royals arriving to have selfies with members of the public. But behind all of this is a serious photographer who knows the royal family better than most and I feel if you respect those who know more than your self you will gain trust and be a better photographer. His instagram feed is below but if you type in Arthur Edwards into google image you will find his pictures over many decades he’s a True legend.

Royal Photographer Chris Jackson.
Chris Jackson is a Getty Images photographer covering the British Royal Family . He seemed genuine when i asked if i could do a picture with him, on these royal tours the english photographers can come across quite scary but really they do the same job as me and everyone else in the room. Of course Chris oozes cool in my opinion, and he is very good at getting that one picture that says it all, he puts out maybe one or two pictures from a location at least thats what I see, but those pictures are top notch.
