I’ve been the resident portrait photographer at the Alternative Miss Ireland for sixteen years. It is without doubt the wildest night to be had in Ireland and raises an incredible amount of money for Irish HIV/AIDS organisations. The 18th and final pageant will be held on March 18 in the Olympia Theatre, Dublin.

In this third inspiration led HD web mini-film, I spend a day on a Dublin shoot with Irish photographer, Clíona O’Flaherty. O’Flaherty has a ‘thing’ for emotive light and soft pastel colours.

Maciej Pestka is a Polish born photographer I met at a film pre-production meeting in Dublin some weeks ago. He has been working shooting fashion in and around Ireland and Europe since 2008. Recently, his visual explorations have begun to include video, film and more time-based media. In Tele-Visions, he explores the representation of fashion through the lens of analogue home-entertainment content delivery aesthetics.

I spoke to Judge on the topic of inspiration and directed, shot and edited this mini-film.

Barry W. Hughes is an Irish media artist who has exhibited both digital and analogue photography, video and web-based projects throughout Ireland and internationally.

British artist Stephen Wiltshire is known as the ‘human camera’ for being able to render images of entire cityscapes in uncanny detail after only viewing the real scenes once. Wiltshire’s abilities stem from his autism, but his pieces are no less stunning. Perhaps Wiltshire’s condition isn’t truly a disability, merely evidence that our species is still evolving. Read more
Tyler the Creator is an exciting and interesting character these days. He is a rapper and producer, but his art isn’t really the point. The point is that he feels like the most incendiary and volatile personality since Kurt Cobain. His new record, Goblin, is out on XL Recordings.
