Artist: Maria Cribben. Model: Natasha Everitt Hairdresser: Marina Hayes

We arrived to the Bank Studios in Dungarvan at 3pm on Saturday 16th what turned out to be such a fun day. When we arrived the extremely talented artists were putting their finishing touches to their work on their models. They each had very individual themes with great attention to detail in their chosen theme.

The atmosphere was very busy, but with a great air of fun about. Every person involved was in great spirit, and extremely welcoming of us to their event. We set about capturing images very casually as various models were ready on various floors within the building. I have to give full compliments to the models for being so open, co-operative and taking direction so well as they were doing this for fun and are not professional models.

After a little while of shooting, it was time, the big moment where they would dispand on to the Quays of Dungarvan. This was completely unexpected by the public and boy did they get a jaw dropping reaction! It was hilarious, cars were braking and didn’t know whether they should stop or go. The facial expressions witnessed were priceless. All the models then lined up for a few group outdoor shots, and a bit of banter and it was time to head back in.

Their mission had been accomplished! Many thanks to everybody involved in making it a very fun day.
