    i'm not quite sure what you mean by editorial style shot.

    have a wander around the furry glen. the south side of the park is generally better for shots for a couple of reasons; there's more variation in the locations available, and it slopes down to the liffey so gets better light than the north side.

    Yeah I would have said it was a bit of an oxymoron, but googling shows it's a 'thing'. Bit of word appropriation. The way ACTUAL editorial photography seems to be going nowadays it'll be synonymous with fashion shoots soon anyhow :(

    Also if you're shooting commercially in the Phoenix Park you'll need a permit from DCC AFAIK.

    Yeah, sound advice ther from magic. The Bandstand in The Hollow is good, also the Wellington Monument is a good backdrop to use. I have always liked the Dublin sky line from Phoenix Monument
