In February this year at the Ginger Pride festival in Belfast, I began a new series of work that I have wanted to do for a while, but had not planned on doing for some time, but an opportunity presented itself.

This new series of portraits will look at the MC1R’s of Northern Ireland and further afield, those with personalities as bright as their hair. I want to take portraits of as many gingers as possible, young to old, big to small and as many tones of MC1R as possible

So for the set up, a simple backdrop of blue and then 2 lights and a reflector, bit of an issue with the lights as the area I set up was up stairs in a nightclub venue and the colour lights where whizzing around, nothing to major but sure! This is the beginning of a series I hope that will let me get creative with the simple portrait and a head full of red! Any feedback is always appreciated!

I have added a self portrait of myself to get an Idea of how they will be looking and should have the first batch edited and ready soon and plan to run a series of prints of these images for the family and friends!
