Interview and portrait tips in Digital Photography magazine
About 6 months ago i got an email from writer/photographer Lisa Perkovic asking if i’d be interested in talking to her about my work for a story in Digital Photographer magazine. I’m always happy to talk photography, so over email i answered some of her questions, and now they’re in print in the current issue [...]
Yael Stone
Moving on from Elana Stone, here’s some pictures i did with her sister, actress Yael Stone for a feature in Time Out Sydney. She was preparing for her role in As You Like It at the Belvoir theatre, so we just bounced around the rehearsal room grabbing the odd prop and making some fun pictures.
Elana Stone
From back in May 2009, some pictures i did with Elana Stone that i’ve not published before. One conceptual set-up (although don’t ask me to explain the concept) and one simple and raw. The first shot we did in her parent’s basement with props left over from a play her sister (Yael Stone) was in. [...]
Lanie Lane
Here’s some press shots i did with the delightful Lanie Lane back in August. These were all shot at Gardel’s Bar.
Photographing Robin Williams and George Miller
I had a very brief opportunity last week to photograph Robin Williams and director George Miller, who were in town promoting Happy Feet 2 and gave an interview to Time Out. It was one of those 1 minute shoots in a hotel bar type deals, with Robin and George on a production line from AAP [...]
The many faces of John Bell
John Bell, what a legend. Such an honour to photograph and get a personal and hilarious performance from. I wrote a little more on my tumblr.
David and Margaret At The Movies
Watching Margaget Pomeranz and David Stratton‘s nostalgic look back at their 25 years together on screen reminded me to post these pictures i did of them for a feature in Time Out Sydney.
Bars and their tenders
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 [...]
Splendour Studio 2011
At Splendour in the Grass this year i teamed up again with FasterLouder for the Splendour Studio, where we set up a studio backstage to take pictures of the artists. We had a broad theme this year of a Willy Wonka sugar high vibe. Lots of lollies and silly colourful outfits. It was stupid amounts [...]
Sarah Doyle in Time Out Sydney
On Monday night Time Out Sydney held a party at Ms G’s to launch their Food Awards issue featuring Porteño‘s elegant maitre d’ Sarah Doyle on the cover. An opportune time to share some pictures from the shoot. Here’s a look at the cover image straight from the camera, before it gets into the hands [...]
Miranda July doesn’t give up
Several weeks ago, while Miranda July was in town to premiere her film The Future at the Sydney Film Festival i took a few pictures of her for a story in Time Out. It was one of those typical “you have 20 minutes for an interview and photo in the hotel room” type deals. I [...]
Who We Are wins an ASTRA Award
Last week a documentary series i worked on called Who We Are won an ASTRA Award for Most Outstanding Documentary. It’s a series of short profiles of seven indigenous Australian artists and is highly deserving of its acclaim. Much credit is due to creator and director Dei El-Ayoubi as well as DOP Tony Luu for [...]
Sydney Swan Adam Goodes
Here’s some picture’s i did with Sydney Swans AFL star Adam Goodes. They were for a feature in Time Out Sydney.
Levins: hotdog connoiseur, photobomber extraordinaire
Here’s a picture i did with Levins at his new restaurant The Dip for Time Out Sydney. The Dip’s signature is Lev’s Dawg, a hot-dog which he proudly holds here. Among his many talents, Levins is a master in the art of the photobomb. A photobomb is defined by Urban Dictionary as “an otherwise normal photo [...]
The Grates for triple j magazine
I’ve had a few weeks off, getting married in Thailand and whatnot. But it’s time to hop back on the blogging wagon so here’s some clippings from a shoot i did before i left with The Grates for triple j magazine. As soon as Patience did the yelling thing, gnashing her teeth, i knew it was [...]
Time Out Burger Wars issue photos
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 [...]
Time Out May photos
Here’s a few spreads from the latest issue of Time Out Sydney that feature my pictures.
Daniel Henshall from Snowtown
A few weeks ago i photographed actor Daniel Henshall who plays notorious South Australian serial killer John Bunting in the coming film Snowtown. It was to accompany an interview in Time Out Sydney. It was just a quick shoot in the film publicists office so i knew the background wouldn’t be particularly inspiring. I took [...]
Lanie Lane and Time Out Sydney April
There’s a new issue of Time Out Sydney in newsagents this month which features a number of photos from me. The mag has had a bit of a spruce up in the layout too, with more pictures running bigger and full bleed. Which is rather pleasing.
Rolling Stone Awards portraits
I have a few more photos in the current issue of Rolling Stone in a spread they did on coverage of the Rolling Stone Awards party. People were there for the awards and to get sozzled on the free tequila but i pulled people and award winners away for some portraits. I had a little [...]
Adriano Zumbo Time Out Cover
A new issue of Time Out Sydney is on newstands now featuring a cover shoot i did with renowned patissier Adriano Zumbo. He was a pleasure to shoot and up for anything. A suggestive question of “how many macarons do you think you could fit in your mouth?” lead to the cover shot. A question [...]
Big Day Out 2011 portraits
Here’s some photos from the backstage studio i had at Sydney’s Big Day Out for Fasterlouder. Like the set up at Splendour in the Grass, we had broad theme and some props to go along with it. We had a table or carnival/circus type props for the artists to choose from as they entered. Some chose [...]
Hardy and Hayes homage to Hinch
With the debut of Marieke Hardy‘s new TV series Laid this week i was reminded to post this picture we did together last year. It’s an homage to a photo by Rennie Ellis of Derryn Hinch and Playboy playmate Allyson Best. Of course there’s a bit of role reversal going on in our picture, with [...]
Big Day Out Studio
Like the backstage Splendour Studio i shot last year, this year i had a photo studio set up backstage at Sydney’s Big Day Out for FasterLouder. You can see all the photos in FasterLouder’s Big Day Out Photo Studio gallery.
