Bars and their tenders

shady-pines-time-out-sydney

The October issue of Time Out Sydney is a bit of a teaser for the Bar Awards and Bar Guide which are held and released next week. It meant some bar hopping for me as i snapped bartenders who are up for awards. First up was cover stars Anton and Jason from Shady Pines. I [...]

tos-Jun11-burger-wars

For the June issue of Time Out Sydney they staged a burger showdown, where six of Sydney’s top chefs prepared their burger for a blind taste test from a panel of six restaurant critics. It was hosted at Rockpool Bar and Grill and i set up a bit a mobile studio to shoot the chefs [...]

They’ve assembled an a-list lineup of artists who’ve donated works that anyone can buy tonight. For the poster they asked if i could photograph some fruit and veg with the word ‘Still Life’ [...]

It was more photographing of those small Sydney bars a few weeks ago shooting this story for Tiger Airways inflight magazine. It was my first job for them, so i was happy to get the cover and a seven page feature. I spent a Saturday evening jumping between Sticky Bar, Pocket, The Falconer and Name [...]


Photographing Food and Drink

Otto - Ravioli of finely sliced pickled beetroot with goat's curd, pistachio and horseradish

It’s been a while between food photo updates, so here’s a bit of a backlog of photos i’ve shot for Time Out Sydney recently. This stuff makes up a large part of what i shoot for Time Out. I’d never photographed food or interiors before i started at the magazine, but it’s been almost three [...]


Sydney’s Best Breakfasts

Kasbah in Balmain

Seeing Will’s post on Baffi and Mo reminded me about the photos i shot for Time Out Sydney’s Best Breakfasts issue. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and a lazy cafĂ© breakfast is one of life’s great pleasures. Any of these establishments will feed you well, alongside a killer coffee. Since the story [...]

Food and Drink photos

North Bondi Italian Food

I mainly concentrate on the music photos here on Boudist but a lot of the work i do at Time Out is shooting bars and restaurants. So for a change of scene here’s some food and drink photos to whet your appetite.


Sydney’s best coffee

I spent last week drinking lots of very good coffee while shooting Time Out‘s feature on Sydney’s best coffee. The cover shot is a snap i took quickly by a window at Campos last year. Bertoni in Balmain was baby central. In fact all of Balmain appeared overrun with newborns. The streets congested with strollers. [...]


Shooting beer

Shooting products is not something i particularly enjoy, but i have to do it a lot for work and this week was no exception. We reviewed over 50 different beers and i had to shoot each of them. It’s harder than it looks and it took some experimenting before i settled on a setup i [...]


It’s not only Rock’n'Roll

Here’s some pictures i’ve taken for Time Out Sydney of late. Primarily for the food and drink section. Scallops from Chinta Ria. A breakfast feast. And my sneakers. Barrel of octopus. Judging cakes is serious business. Cocktail flairing is getting ridiculous. Breakfast by the beach. I’m learning to love macro. See what i mean.


Last Drinks at Barons

Notorious Kings Cross dive bar Barons is closing it’s doors for good this Wednesday. Like many of the character rich old joints in the Cross it’s being demolished to make way for a new multi storey development. I’m sure most Sydney drinkers would have some hazy memories of a night spent surfing the lounges of [...]
