| "Simple not Easy" Eileen Molony Photography is an independent personal boutique style studio. Technically proficient and creative. My love lies in the production of emotive images that contain movement and a sense of space often by combining nature and my imagination. My work varies from conceptual art to documentary reportage. As a child, photography was my passion. My camera became an extension of my body. I saw the world through the film format. I taught myself the basic techniques when I got my first manual camera at the age of 16. My formal photography education from 1994-97 took place while attending The Burren College of Art and Dun Laoghaire College or Art & Design, both in Ireland. I earned a national technical certificate of merit in commercial photography. After finishing college I moved to San Francisco, Ca. where I had the opportunity to assist many talented photographers while pursuing my own freelance career. I took part in art and photography exhibits and was commissioned by home/business owners to produce and install photographic art in their spaces. Commercially I photographed architecture, business portraits and products during that time. In the autumn of 2001 I moved to Huntsville Al. There I worked mostly on my fine art photography. I was involved in many social art programs including being a founding member of The Flying Monkey Arts Center, a non-profit alternative arts center. In July 2003 I moved to the Chicago area. Personalized portraiture has become my specialty. Editorial for a good cause my passion. I am available for editorial, portraiture and event photography. With the birth of my first child in 2004 family photography became a big part of my work. Having children in one's life on a daily basis gives one a whole new perspective on life and thus my photography. I am now a seasoned expert working with children from birth to senior portraits. Yes from birth, there is nothing like photographing a baby being born. Other areas of work and education, Visual display work for both Neiman Marcus and SAKS Inc.
