Docks

Glam Rock on the Docks

Here’s some shots from a “Glam Rock” themed shoot that I did with my fashion muse Giulia Priori last week.

Giulia struck some great poses as she rocked out my sunburst Les Paul guitar on a rusty old platform that we came across at an industrial estate beside Galway Docks, which all contributed to a scene full of contrasts that I hope make these shots burst out.

A break in the clouds gifted us some good light, and the imposing industrial towers around the docks provided with a striking background that added some drama to the shoot.

Giulia Priori also did the styling and make up for the shoot, which is part of her course in Business and Fashion at GTI Galway.

All I had to do was choose an appropriate location and keep my fingers crossed for some good light, and thankfully I think it all came together.

Let me know if you think we did Glam Rock photographic justice. ..
