Heritage Week: Photo Opportunity in Celbridge, Saturday 24th of August.
2019-08-24 10:30 - 12:30
Kildrought House, situated on the Main Street, is the oldest house in Celbridge. The house was built in 1720 by a Dublin upholsterer & tapestry maker Robert Baillie. From 1782 to 1814 the house was known as the Celbridge Academy. It later became a fever hospital, vicarage & a dispensary. It then reverted to a private residence.
The current owner, June Stuart, has given the Camera Club the opportunity to view the beautiful house and gardens this Saturday morning. We will meet at the Slip Hall at 10.15 and walk to the house on the Main Street.
Numbers are limited to 20 in total. 10 in the gardens and 10 in the house at any one time.
There will be a cover charge of €3 per head.

29th Of April CCC Welcomes well known Professional Photographer Mr Julien Behal
2019-04-29 20:00 - 21:30
One of the first pictures Julien remembers taking was of his grandad Bernard shaving. He took it as a teenager on a disposable film camera. It was his first picture to win an award, and it got him hooked. Sadly his grandad is no longer around but his picture is, and that is what he loves about photography.
Since then, he has covered the Olympics, World Cups, State Visits, conflicts, fashion, business mergers and music festivals. he has been to and shot almost everything, and he still has the same desire to get a great picture as he had 25 years ago.
Over the years he has collected many more awards, including over 20 category wins in the The Press Photographers Association of Ireland awards including the overall title of the PPAI Photographer of the Year in 2012 http://www.ppai.ie/awards/2012 and 2014 http://www.ppai.ie/awards/2014. He was included in the Culture Trip’s Top Ten Irish Photographers to watch https://theculturetrip.com/europe/ireland/articles/top-ten-irish-photographers-to-watch/
Over the years his pictures have regularly made the front of all the major national and International papers such as The Irish Times,Examiner and Irish Independent, The Guardian, Times London, New York Times,Sunday Times and, uniquely for an Irish photographer, the cover of Time Magazine.
Julien is from Kerry, lives in Dublin and have a fab family with a gorgeous wife and three beautiful kids. he loves running, climbing, chatting, fishing, eating good food and drinking good wine, he also drinks far too many take away coffees!
Oh by the way he has a cousin who lives in Leixlip Conor will join us later on in the evening to see he cousin in action..

15th of April CCC Welcomes Mr Barry McCall Professional Photographer.
2019-04-15 20:00 - 22:00
Barry McCall is one of Ireland’s most established photographers.
Specialising in fashion, advertising, beauty and portraiture, his distinctive style brings a classic and timeless touch to contemporary photography.
PHO20GRAPHY, a 20 year retrospective of his work published in 2010, showcases his work with some of the world’s top supermodels, including Claudia Schiffer, Helena Christensen, Yasmin Le Bon, Sophie Dahl and Erin O’Connor. He has also worked with everyone from Naomi Campbell, Conor McGregor, Michael Fassbender and Richard Branson to Colin Farrell, Liam Neeson, U2 and Gabriel Byrne.
This 20 year retrospective, in aid of the Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, showcases a style that celebrates the very best of fashion and portraiture, pushing the boundaries of technique and vision to create true works of art. In 2012, an exhibition of Barry’s works was held in the Copper House Gallery in Dublin, transferring some of his most influential imagery from book to large format print.
He has been commissioned by leading creative agencies such as Ogilvy & Mather, McCann Erickson and DDFH&B, while his clients range from Coca Cola, Bulova and Sony to Adidas, Universal Music, L’Oreal and Chanel. His work has appeared internationally in magazines such as Vogue, Elle, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and Tatler.
Barry continues to be inspired by his first loves: classic art, old movies and the ever changing fashion of our times.
