Seamus Ryan's Sunday Shoots

Projects

PAPER PORTRAITS A touch of gusto and verve was asked of all who took part in this lively shoot. The tricky bit was to avoid ripping the paper any further. Most people failed. This theme has nothing to do with Christmas and I will be most insulted if anyone suggests it is a blatant attempt to generate some more print orders. Ho, ho, ho! View this project
WINTER HUG '09 A miserable wet Sunday in an almost deserted Columbia Road Flower Market.One of the quietist Sundays I can remember. What better than a warming hug to lift the spirits. Many thanks to the hardy few who made the effort. View this project
ME MYSELF I Old school multiple exposures this week. The principle is very simple. Create a darkened space, open the shutter and fire the flash as the subject moves into different positions. Explaining this to everyone proved trickier than anticipated. Apologies if I let my exasperation show once or twice. I blame Simon Cowell. View this project
CLASSIC BLACK AND WHITE No funny business this week, just good old fashioned black and white portraits. Weather wise, this was a truly grotty day so a very low turnout. The market was a washout. Those that did brave the thundering rain made it all worthwhile. View this project
STARS ON SUNDAY This bright sunny Sunday brought the crowds out. The aim of the shoot was to capture something of the individuality and inner strength of each sitter. Watched by, at times, a huge audience this was no easy task for subject or photographer. Despite this some great characters emerged. Thanks to all the stars who took part. View this project
THE RNIB PUBLIC SHOOT Following on from his recent RNIB advertising campaign Seamus asked visitors to lend their support by taking part in an open shoot. Images from the session may be used by the RNIB as part of their ongoing awareness initiative. The concept was to ask people to consider the question: 'What would you lose from your life, if you lost your sight?' As ever, the good will and warm spirit shown by all who took part was inspirational. To find out more about the RNIB and to get involved please click here (http://www.rnib.org.uk).

HUG - JUNE 09 This project has now become a twice yearly fixture at Sunday Shoots. The graphic possibilities each hug presents make the project both fun and fascinating to shoot. Big hug to all who took part. View this project
MOODY(ISH) In this shoot the intention was to shoot moody, thoughtful portraits of one and all. The problem was it was a beautiful sunny morning and everyone was brim full of happiness. Laughter was in the air and far be it from me to stop it. View this project
MUGSHOTS 09 This week the media has had great sport exposing an alarmingly high number of MPs for their fraudulent expenses claims. It got me thinking. Who amongst us is not guilty of some misdemeanor, no matter how small, at some time in their lives. Not a one, I suspect. In stark contrast to our public representatives, visitors to the shoot were happy to line up and openly admit their guilt. View this project
