My portrait of playwright Deirdre Kinihan, whose new play The Saviour is having its world stage premiere this week in the Irish Repertory Theatre, New York. Directed by Louise Lowe for Landmark Productions and starring Marie Mullen and Jamie O'Neill, the play will have an Irish run from the end of September.

The portrait is an out-take from En résidence, a series of portraits of artists-in-residence commissioned by the Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. I used elements of the courtyard to give a sense of a proscenium arch.

I recently put out an online call for someone to help me test some new black & white films. I was delighted when the brilliant artist Rachel Fallon offered to help out. It was a lot of fun meeting and photographing her, and I particularly like this silhouetted study of her we did at the end.
