Well, we WERE in a genuine old dungeon at the time, & it was really chilly, you can literally see her goosebumps! Matylda was an incredible model, I knew her for all of two minutes when I took this shot. With an absolute minimum of direction she just exuded an ennui that fitted the cold & claustraphonbic atmosphere perfectly. Glacial Beauty indeed!

The magnificent Matylda again...

The incredible impression of sadness in her amazingly expressive eyes which Matylda was able to reproduce on demand was striking. In an instant they really did seem to literally echo the unknown & unseen sadness that permeated the Gaol's walls from the past. Matylda really was cold too (see her fingers), which seemed to infer an extra frisson of authenticity.

Amy... Recent Offshoot Photography Society session at Wicklow Gaol on the evening of March the 5th 2010. I asked Amy to pretend the metal railings on the staircase in the prison were prison bars, it seemed an appropriate setup all things considered. She gave a haunting impression of someone imprisoned I think you will agree!

Matylda... I found that single hair that curled across her cheek most appealing visually. Is it not the little imperfections that add real character to a face, or indeed to a whole person? That ragged glory that confers & confirms our humanity?

One of the first shots I took at our recent night time shoot under studio lights at Wicklow Gaol. I had the ISO set to Auto from previous night work in a field with the Moon, but in the dimness I forgot or didn't notice, or both. A shame, as it's very noisy as a consequence (ISO 3200!). Anyway, Rachael's posing was so beautiful I decided that some of these initial shots I took of her deserved an airing here... www.wicklowshistoricgaol.com/ www.offshoot.ie/

Rachael & Matylda... Recent Offshoot Photography Society session at Wicklow Gaol, Ireland on March the 5th 2010. I'll hopefully revisit these in RAW with PhotoShop sometime soonish & dodge all those lovely eyes so as to do them the justice they desrve...

Taken at a recent Offshoot Photography Society location model shoot at Wicklow Gaol, Ireland, March the 5th 2010. Thirteen of us were literally locked into this historic old prison for three hours with three models & our imaginations. We were told we had to be back out by 8.30pm at the latest as there was a "Psychic" Tour Group coming in ghost hunting after us. Well, I felt no presence at all there, except that of my fellow freezing Offshoot Members & the three utterly wonderful (& even colder!) models we shot there under studio lights - Amy, Rachael (Irish) & Matylda (from Poland).

Dún Laoghaire's East Pier on a mild November evening. People transformed into spectres, living ghosts. Is that not what we are all after all? Dún Laoghaire - my nearest "Hometown". (Pronounced "Doon Layer -Ra")

Powerful torch lights weilded by other members & a red laser zapped at the rocks by myself during a long exposure "painting wirh light" experiment on the rocky shore at Sandycove, Dun Laoghaire, last night. Offshoot Photographic Society nocturnal jaunt. OK, the laser was a bad idea maybe...
