Our good friends Kevin and Angelina, after two and a half years here in Ireland, are moving back to California at the end of the week. Before they leave, Angelina asked me to take some portraits of them and I jumped at the chance to have willing subjects (other than poor Eve who thinks her mother looks like a Canon lens) to practise my portrait-taking on. I’ve wanted to take photographs down on Sandymount beach for ages so I suggested we try it out as a location and, although the bright sunlight made it a challenge to find angles where they weren’t forced to squint, I’m happy with how they turned out. It was a lot of fun too.
We’re really going to miss them both when they leave. Who is Matt going to talk computers with? And who am I going to talk blogging with?!
A little cheesy? Maybe, but this is my attempt at a Tara Whitney shot and I kind of like it:
