Sydney Dance Company promo video
Back in August i had a dream gig shooting stills on the set of a promo video for Sydney Dance Company.
The one minute piece was shot with six dancers from the Sydney Dance Company, choreographed by Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela.
It was all filmed in the Deutsche Bank building in Sydney’s CBD.

Me and Greedy Hen and Kareena Zerefos
This Friday night some of my photos will be on show beside the work of illustrator/designers Greedy Hen and Kareena Zerefos at World Bar in Kings Cross.
I’m extremely humbled to be in their company because they’re amazing women who do world class work that i’m a huge fan of. Plus they can draw, which alongside [...]
Interview with Tony Mott
An interview i did with music photographer veteran Tony Mott has just been published on Mess and Noise.
We spoke for about half an hour over Skype, me in Sydney, Tony in his temporary home in Melbourne.
Tony’s someone i’ve always admired in the photography business. He’s gotten where he has through sheer passion for his work [...]
The Scare backstage portraits
The Scare week continues (previously No Money video, AMP ceremony) with these snaps i took of the band at The Annandale.
They’re part of a bigger project i did last weekend, shooting band portraits backstage during My Filthy Riot. I set up a mini-studio, taping a gray backdrop to the wall and lighting with a softbox. [...]

Pride? Patriotism? Jingoism? Racism?
A few snaps of tats, piercings and t-shirts at the Sydney Big Day Out.
Postscript
I saw this happy family down at Bondi and thought they made a nice addition to the collection of flag wavers.
Miss Pole Dance 2008
A few weeks ago i had the pleasure of spending some time backstage at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2008.
Evidently pole dancing isn’t the sleazy underground pursuit it once was, with this event held at the 2000 capacity Enmore Theatre with most of the audience made up of women.
Behind the scenes it was relatively calm; lots [...]
Photographing Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton
On returning from overseas one of my first assignments was to photograph Cate Blanchett and her husband Andrew Upton for a Time Out Sydney cover feature.
The feature is about their roles as Creative Directors of the Sydney Theatre Company and previewing the STC open day where the public can see backstage at the [...]
A chat with Anton Corbijn
One of the best parts of my job is meeting fascinating people who do amazing things. One such person is Dutch photographer and director Anton Corbijn who i met a couple of weeks ago during a Time Out Sydney interview.
Anton Corbijn is one of the world’s best known music photographers and director of [...]
