One of the Celtic gods among the Tuatha Dé Danann, Eriu (modern Irish – Eire)
In Mythology Eriu symbolized the legacy of the Tuatha Dé Danann
Dress maker model and all round Talent miss Niamh Brolly , Hailing from the hills of Donegal she was the perfect choice of model for a Celtic Goddess Themed shoot
NIamh had been working tirelessly over lockdown to create her very own Eriu styled dress and the opptunity to create a styled shoot with her was to good and oppertunity to miss.
She designed and created her dress from scratch and through the wonders of instagram i was able to follow her stories as she brought it to life.
Outside Letterkenny in the hills of Donegal is the Grianan of Aileach. where its possible to enjoy views for miles in all directions on a clear day, and it proved to be a perfect setting for our outdoor themed shoot. A hand built recreation of the fort which would have stood here many years ago.
As with all shoots we tried our best to make the most of the weather and we had to move through as many scenerios as we could before the irish weather moved in to stop play.
headshots and beauty make for a wonderful combination, and Niamh did a fantastic job of bringing the charater of Eriu to life.
Having accquired and made a few new props over lockdown i was keen to introduce them into the photoshoot.
And niamh really enjoyed the chance to try out her sword wielding skills, a fan of Game of thrones and vikings she was eager to show her capabilities.
And of course her beautiful styling and amazing hair where second to none.
Only for the rain coming in from the coast this blog post would have been twice as long.
and the stoney ring fort was an idyllic setting for the theme, with its green pasture and moss covered stoney facade.
so what do you think of our effort ?, please feel free to leave a comment and let us know if you'd like to see more godesses feature on our blog . I'll leave you with his image of Niamh taking in the views on the hills of Donegal Ireland.
