Strange Types & Odd Sorts
I shot the cover for this wonderful new publication from Fighting Words in collaboration with the National Print Museum Ireland.
A team of Fighting Words mentors worked with volunteer compositors and printers from the National Print Museum to document memories of lives lived in apprenticeships, jobbing houses, newspapers, binderies, and a now utterly transformed world of printing.
The cover shot is made up of wood block type set on compositing sticks, which was then set in a form and placed on a Vandercook press to print the dust jacket for the publication.
The book was designed by Philip Elliot, with Mary Plunkett designing and setting the type for the cover.

West Bengal
A road trip around the West Bengal, starting out from Kolkata and stopping off at Barrackpore, Krishnanagar, Plassey and Murshidabad.
This was my first visit to this part of India, having previously visited the cities of Delhi and Mumbai and travelled quite a bit around the states of Kerala and Gujarat.
The purpose of the trip was to recce locations and shoot some footage for an as yet untitled documentary film that explores the journey of one Irish family in India during the period of British Colonial Rule.
