Paul Gerrard

Hobbyist photographer based in Dublin. I got into photography just a few years ago and until quite recently was mainly shooting on film as I love using vintage cameras and doing everything the way it used to be done, developing films myself and making prints in the darkroom. I've learned a lot from shooting on film as there's no automatic anything on most of the old cameras I use and with less scope for editing afterwards the images have to be good straight out of the camera. I'm doing most of my model photography digitally now but still do the occasional shoot on film if the model wants to try something a bit different.

I shoot just for enjoyment, to try improve my skills, get creative and make the best images I can and I'm interested in collaborating with anyone who is modelling just for fun or if you're trying to build a portfolio to get into doing paid work that's fine too - I'm happy to help! I shoot a variety of styles, generally letting the model decide how she wants to dress and pose but I guess I tend towards a more natural portrait style. I enjoy trying different things and love when a model has ideas for something they want to do - to me that's what a collaboration should be!    

So get in touch and let's shoot! :)
