Saol Photography: Bobby Aherne - Singer / Songwriter

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 :-)

Bobby Aherne - Singer / Songwriter

While I was back home in Ireland last month for a wedding, I found some time to photograph Dublin musician Bobby Aherne.

Bobby is the lead singer of No Monster Club (check out their website here) and was being interviewed by my younger brother Paul. The interview was featured on TCR FM during Gary Jon's Éclectique show, a nice mix of old and new music from new, established and even unsigned musicians. The interview is still available on the station's replay link here until next week.

I really enjoyed this shoot, not just because Bobby's got a unique style, but it was really interesting to hear about his music and what he and his bandmates have achieved (including releasing albums through UK, Dutch, Italian and Australian labels and touring in Europe last year).
