Gabrielle Reidy

I took this portrait of Gabrielle Reidy in February of this year. Sadly Gabrielle passed away last week after a short battle with cancer. She was a hugely talented actor and a warm friend to so many people. I will miss her energy, intellect and passion a great deal. Here is her Guardian obituary.

Kids laugh at Irish Photographer


I photographed these spirited youngsters as part of a global campaign to help children around the world. The Unilever Foundation and Domestos have joined forces with UNICEF to help improve access to basic sanitation for hundreds of thousands of people in areas that need it most. As part of this partnership, Domestos is contributing 5% of its proceeds  from the sale of specially marked bottles in selected countries to support UNICEF’s CATS programmes in the Philippines, South Sudan, and Vietnam, India and Brazil.

He's not the Messiah



......he's a very naughty boy.

I'm showing my age here but I must admit that these words are still amongst the funniest I have ever heard.

Perhaps it's down to the strictures of my Irish Catholic childhood or the fact the Pythons regularly made my father cry with laughter. Either way I am very grateful to them all.

Photographing Terry Jones was a joy. He is an incredibly nice man and  makes a mean Americano.
