Thursday, 13 December 2012

Since it was the spare of the moment and that I was running out of time, I wasn't able to go back and do another shoot. Because the hotel itself was so dark inside, I struggled a lot with taking photographs with lack of natural light and tried my best avoiding tacky built-in flash.

. If I could go back, I would most definitely bring some sort of lighting

equipment with me and stay a little longer, in hopes to get some interesting snaps.

However, i'm happy with the photographs I got, and because this project was so spare of the moment and it was by chance I found it.

I wanted it to be portrayed that way in my pictures.

The Clogga Bay Hotel

The Clogga Bay Hotel

I decided to chose a project I most enjoyed and it was by chance that I found this place on my travels through the countryside of Ireland. After a long day of driving I touched lucky

finding this place. By now i'd gotten used to finding abandoned buildings dotted around, but I didn't expect

i'd find a hotel.

The Clogga Bay Hotel is a 12 bed en-suite hotel with large function room, restaurant and bar.

An ancillary 3 bedroom family residence forms part of the property.

The hotel has direct private access to the beautiful Clogga Strand beach. Only 3 miles South of Arklow it is very accessible from the N11. This 11,000 sq ft premises would lend itself to many possible uses including B&B, Hostel, Residential Care Unit, Function venue, private residence etc.
