Asylum Seekers Accomodation Center
-
These are from a project I have started on an accomodation Cnetre for asylum seekers in Athlone. Some of the caravans hold two families and some of the families have been living there while they await a decision for over 5 years.
C&C welcome
Some fine shots there Emma. Not too sure about the flash used on a couple of them (I assume it was flash).
That last one is my favourite. Nice natural light. She’s obviously very relaxed.
The expression on the child with the blue hat is excellent. Like mentioned, the flash use on one or two of them is a little off.
Very good set and a very good cause worth reporting on. The little chap in the second last is my fave, he looks like such a happy little character.
Good workDee
Great series, am stunned that I have never seen this place featured in any newspaper articles.
Hidden Ireland….

thanks! Interestingly this happy looking little fella is now living in a house, his family got granted leave to remain and they could move out.. you can tell he’s a lot happier than the other kids.
DeeVery good Emma…
Second shot and the football one are really excellent…
Very well done.
Rob.
Thanks for all comments, can anyone give me advise on the flash, still wrestling with fill!!
I love the second one, but there is great feeling in these. Have you tried a diffuser on your flash to soften its effect?
Love the second one, the lads playing fitbah and the last one.
Be well worth sticking with over an extended period of time.Great series – The compositions in the all are really appealling , not to mention the engagement that your have fromt he people in them .. love them !
I do agree that the flash is a bit heavy – what are you using ?? if you can get the flash off camera and bounce it so its not direct and washing out your subjects faces it will really help .. If you don’t have an off camera flash – you nede to think about getting one – your stuff is great and would definately be even better !

I’m using a speedlight 580, one stop under for fill on the outside shots and bounced off the ceiling for indoor shots. I haven’t got a diffuser, next purchase! (when do we ever have enough stuff???) Thank you for your very complimentary comments and suggestions. I had a look at your site Lorraine and lovely work, esp your studio portraits and babies beautiful light and compostition.
