A lifestyle photo session in Dublin
When you are a freelancer, you are the face of your company and your portraits and headshots should show that. That’s why a lifestyle photo session could be exactly the thing you are looking for!

Contatto is the search for that feeling of human connection. Artists who have roots in Ireland and beyond are the protagonists of this story, the story of Ireland’s creativity, a story that is not complete without these voices.
Last Thursday 14th of May I had the last two sessions of my Isolation Portraits Project.
The total lockdown in Ireland is over since Monday 18th, so it made sense to finish my project just before it.
The lockdown in Ireland is coming close to an end, so this is the penultimate blog post with my beloved Isolation Portraits.
It’s been quite a trip down to memory lane, meeting all these friends during the last two months. I’ve been sharing with you pieces of my life and heart, just because.
We live into the illusion that because we see each other’s photos on social media, we are still connected. Even those who don’t use much social media, they know they can text you and exchange a couple of sentences once in a while and that friendship can go on like this. How sad is that?
The more I go on with this project, the more I enjoy it. Every time I speak with someone, I learn something about them or their current life and I feel really privileged to share these little pinches of personal space with those people.
This blog post goes to three countries, two continents and speaks only two languages, the ones closest to my heart: Italian and Spanish.
Each one of the friends I’m introducing to you, reminds me of how many different people I have been. How many personas I wore. But I can also see my own pattern.
Writing about the first meeting with every person sends me directly to another era and this is very moving. This project has become my personal madeleine.
One day I was on a video call with a friend. We were talking about work. Suddenly one of her daughters took the phone, placed it on the table and started painting in front of it. I thought it was a gorgeous scene and I took the camera I had beside me to freeze the moment. It’s there when I realised I could start my own version of the project.
