Coastal Cool.

Is the title of our latest published work on the Cover plus in the April 2018 issue of Ireland’s Homes Interiors & Living magazine…

.. on pages 56 to 69 – which features Marie and Alan’s renovated 1960’s house near Holywood in County Down.

“Marie transformed a dated mid-century home in Holywood using lots of weatherboarding, tongue & groove panelling and a crisp palette of blues and whites.”

Which I talked about shooting here: Natural direction of light and here: Left or Right, a few years ago.

So congratulations once again to Ms Coastal Cool here…

.. for making it into Ireland’s largest selling monthly interiors and lifestyle magazine, as well as making it onto the cover too

Twinkle

Life sometimes has a way of carrying us all in different directions…

.. as change does seem to be the only constant.

Anyway, it’s been a while since I have done a shoot with Marie – however, we do stay in touch and hook up from time to time, as over the years we have created a pretty major picture library together – plus being good friends for so long, we do talk about lots of other stuff too…

.. which included her laughingly telling me about this new project she had started on – which was this 20-year-old “granny wagon”…

.. is how she described it

“Sooooo – what’s my vision ?????

I’d actually like to give it a kind of Neptune feel…

.. It will be fun”

– she wrote a few months ago.

Anyway, long story short, last week we decided to combine a business catch up with a fun shoot of her little caravan – which she called Twinkle btw!!

And all I can say is her vision…

.. and ability to transform something so ordinary…

.. into something like this…

.. once again amazed me.

So here’s to a day filled with good food…

.. and good friends – on Valentine’s Day with a Twinkle
