Declan – Coastal Cities, a photo by paul2210 on Flickr.

Coastal Cities are an Indie Pop band from Buckinghamshire, U.K. Declan here writes many of the songs, fronts the band, sings and plays lead guitar. Declan is also my nephew – I was fortunate enough to attend and photograph one of their gigs at the Cookie Jar, a venue in Leicester, U.K.

In addition to his musical attributes, Declan (and other members of the band) is an accomplished model; he has featured in major campaigns for Yves Saint Laurent, Burberry eyewear, and the Alexander McQueen 2014 collection completed within the last year alone.

I now live in Nottingham; I have been here for some time now so my collection would not be complete without a photograph of it’s most famous son.

Poppies.

I am particularly drawn to poppies. I am always taken by the way that they contrast with their green surroundings on a bright sunny day.

I do like making photographs with flowers. This one was made a little while ago. I bought some ‘mums and arranged them. Years later I rediscovered them on my hard drive and had a play in Photoshop – the results can be found on paulcullenphotography.com

Warkworth, a photo by paul2210 on Flickr.

The river Coquet as it runs through Warkworth. This photograph was taken using a Canon 20D which had been converted for Infra-red. The camera was loaned to me (and everyone else in turn) by Lee Frost. I was on one of his courses in Northumberland. The IR camera gives a strange colour cast but I have made this one “Antique” Monochrome using Lightroom 5.
