The Swap

I recently took part in “The Swap” an ongoing portrait project. It’s a simple idea two photographers agree to do a portrait of each other. I was approached to take part by a photographer I have worked with a few times now Oxana Kiryashoff. So we meet up on a morning in Bray, County Wicklow. You can see both of our portraits and many other pairings on “The Swap” web site

I have to say I love what Stuart the organizer wrote on their tumbler about my work.

“Adrian Heffernan is a Dublin based photographer but you would be forgiven in thinking he was based on west coast of America as he has that kind of sensibility in the work he produces. He specialises in portraiture and has produced work for many publications. He has a distinct use of lighting in his work. The images are clean, stylish and well composed. He describes himself as laid back but his results are the result of i endeavor and thought.”

I really appreciate this thoughtful review of my work. I feel much indebted to him for letting me be part of this project.
