I’ve called the forests above Lough Teagh many things – but Mirkwood seems to fit here : )  A few years back, a good friend (and genius photographer) Ezequiel Mastrasso and I met at the crack of dawn and visited this amazing forest. He brought along ‘the sun’ as he calls it – an insanely powerful Profoto flash. We were unbelievably lucky – the clouds were lying so low that morning that they swirled through the ancient wood, and we got some cool shots. I was on the camera, he was pointing ‘the sun’. We ended up capturing a kind of surreal, almost theatrical atmosphere – a strange, heightened reality.

You can see another panorama we shot at Eze’s (AMAZING) site – http://photos.ezequielm.com/ir-loughteagh_01/ and he’s on Insta as @ezequielmastrasso
