Saol Photography: February 2012

Hello!

My name is Thomas David Kavanagh, a photographer that shoots wedding, lifestyle and commercial portraiture. I was born and bred in Dublin, Ireland but have been living in Birmingham, England for the past decade.

I have started a photography business called Saol Photography. Saol (pronounced 'Sail') is the Irish word for 'life'. I chose this as it represents how important photography is to me as well as the type of photographs I want to make.

In this blog I will share details of how my business progresses and also the projects that I am working on. Your views and comments are greatly appreciated. All of the writing and images seen in this blog are created by me and I retain the copyright. Should you wish to use any of my images, please contact me for permission.

Thank you for taking the time to visit,

Tom :-)

Best of 2011 Pt. 3 - Engagements and Weddings

As a really harsh self-critic I had a nice realisation as I went through the wedding photographs I took last year - there are far too many that I like to put in a 'best of'.

Conscious that there are some weddings I haven't blogged (I'll catch up eventually!), here are just a few of my favourite engagement and wedding photos from last year.

No children were harmed in the making of the picture below :-)

Best of 2011 Pt. 2 - Studio Pics

More studio work is a definite this year because I enjoyed it so much. I love shooting documentary style and capturing moments on the street etc. But an image can be so powerful when the light is controlled.

I think in my heart I aspire to be more David Bailey than Martin Parr (but would be content being a fraction as talented as either!).

Best of 2011 Pt. 1 - Family Pics

I've started off this year being a 'busy bunny' behind-the-scenes working on the website and some projects. Thought the best way to start the year would be to have a look at my photographs from last year and post the highlights.

These are my favourite photographs of 2011 taken with my family. Weddings and Studio photographs to follow...
