Photographing the Leaders

Clockwise: An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar TD, leader of Fine Gael, Micheál Martin TD, leader of Fianna Fáil, the main opposition party, Brendan Howlin TD, leader of the Labour Party and Mary Lou McDonald TD, leader of Sinn Féin.

When I photograph powerful people in business or in politics, I try to show a little of their human side, while respecting their position. These people are time sensitive, so being prepared and ready for all possible situations means that I can concentrate on getting the best image possible. Have a look at my website for more examples.

Photographed above, are the leaders of Ireland’s main political parties. My thanks to the editors of Eolas Magazine for commissioning the photos.
