The first ever issue of Time Out Sydney is in newsagents now.
We're calling it the "zero issue" since it's a bit of a preview of what's to come for the regular edition and it was an opportunity for everyone involved to have a test run at how the mag gets put together.
That said, it's 96 pages filled with great content much like you'd find in the weekly. I did a little tally and there's over 80 of my photos in there too.
It's been quite a trial by fire for me. I'm familiar with shooting events, performances, bands and the like. But now i've had to expand my repetoire to food, chefs, galleries, interiors, drag queens and lots more.
Every day is different. For example on Tuesday i photographed Clive James in the morning, The Mess Hall at lunch and Neil Perry in the afternoon. A writer, a band and a chef; all from Sydney. It's demonstrative of the range of areas the magazine covers, always with a strong Sydney focus.
The images you see here are a taste of what i shot for the current issue. Most are different to what ended up in the mag.

If this is your first foray into photojournalism, it's fantastic. I never thought the transition from concert photography to other things would be so smooth but you've done it seamlessly. Congrats.
I hope this won't prevent you from shooting as many concerts.
Cheers,

Fantastic stuff. Some great photos - of course. I remember Time Out from my sojourn in London.

Schweet shots there, motherfucker.
