Whilst many professional photographers specialize in fine art, portraits, weddings etc, my work encompasses all types of photography. However, over the last year or so, I've been increasingly taking on more commercial work. Photographing interiors is my speciality, so I was very pleased to be given the chance to shoot a hotel in the north-west of Cork. Upon arrival, scones with jam and cream and a nice latte were waiting for me - nice!

Moving from bedroom to bedroom, I wanted to capture the warmth, comfort and peacefulness of the hotel, always keeping in mind the hotel is family owned and run.

There's more to a hotel than just the bedrooms - there's usually a bar, the reception, hallways, landings, and of course, the staff, so I made sure to capture everything.

The shoot lasted all day and I delivered just over 50 pictures to the webmaster (the hotel is having its website updated). I've been asked back to the hotel to take more pictures, this time it's a 2 day/1 night shoot - I can't wait!

I thoroughly enjoyed shooting this hotel and so did the owners and the webmaster, they loved the pictures! Watch out for another blog post in the coming weeks.
