Happy New YearJanuary 11th 2012

St James' Gate has been the home of Guinness since 1759. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the brewery owned most of the buildings in the surrounding area, including many streets of housing for brewery employees, and offices associated with the brewery. Each year at midnight the workers of the brewery change the overhead entrance sign for a new year, this year marking 253 years of Guinness being the largest brewer of stout in the world. No more than a handful of people are ever there to mark the occasion which is a slightly different way of bringing in a new year.

The Streets of FlorenceAugust 26th 2011

I spent a wonderful 7 days this month strolling around
the timeless streets of Florence building up my library of stock images. It is truly a delightful place for an architectural photographer to visit. It was refreshing to capture baroque and medieval architecture which is a welcome change from the much more modern commissions that I undertake on a daily basis. Florence
is the centre of the Italian Renaissance and without doubt one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This image is of 'medieval skyscrapers' in the Tuscan village of San Gimignano. I will post some more images from this trip on my
Facebook Business page.
Pantone ArtJuly 31st 2011

Pantone is the world-renowned authority on colour and provider of colour systems and leading technology for the selection and accurate communication of colour systems across a variety of industries. The PANTONE name is known worldwide as the standard language for colour communication from designer to manufacturer to retailer to customer. I recently photographed an Pantone art installation which can be seen on my business
Facebook page.
Panoramic photographyJune 10th 2011

I have received quite a few requests for images in widescreen format lately. Panoramic images require several images to be stitched together in post production but the end result can be very dramatic. Have a look at my
Facebook Business page where I will have regular updates on some projects and commissions that I am photographing for my clients.

Home Renovation ProjectJune 3rd 2010

Gareth recently photographed a home renovation project in Shankill. With night-time photography what you see is not necessarily what you get. Simple shots of buildings can suddenly become illuminated in a kaleidoscope of coloured light, and the light sources themselves (streetlights etc.) will become brilliant spots of light. Take a look at our after hours gallery to see more from our night time portfolio.
