A photo tribute to Surry Hills

To coincide with the Surry Hills themed issue of Time Out Sydney, the magazine held a one night only photo exhibition at Urban Uprising featuring 20 of my pictures, plus some more by Will Storr.
The pictures are all of Surry Hills people and places, some taken on assignment for Time Out, some just my personal [...]
Time Out’s Surry Hills cover

Sometimes a magazine cover photo is inspired by a coverline, in this case “The Hills are alive!” which described Time Out Sydney’s feature on Surry Hills.
It ends up being a little tenuous, but the idea was to allude to the classic image of Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music, but with a modern twist.
We [...]
Covers – continues to February 20th

I was quite overwhelmed and touched by the support for Cybele and my photo show Covers opening night on Thursday.
Our thirsty guests smashed through 15 cases of beer and 12 bottles of wine in just the first hour. We sold a bunch of pictures and made some money for Oasis.
Now the first night is over [...]

Cybele Malinowksi and I are having a photo show at Mart Gallery in Surry Hills (156 Commonwealth St) starting this Friday 12-5pm and continues for 2 weeks.
The show comprises 24 music magazine covers that feature our photos, including Drum Media, The Brag, Time Out Sydney, jmag and Mess and Noise.
Artists who feature in the photos [...]
Crossing paths with the Sartorialist

Since issue 1 of Time Out Sydney there’s been a street style feature that i’ve photographed called Word on the Street.
It’s a pretty unashamed ‘homage’ to The Sartorialist.
This week i noticed that we’ve finally crossed paths on our subjects, a girl named Tiffany who i photographed in Paddington in November and was published in our [...]
Final FBi radio fundraising gigs

That FBi photo i took runs on the cover of Brag Magazine this week, including a double page spread inside.
As well as the remaining fundraising gigs (listed below) there’s also an art auction next Wednesday at the MCA.
Ruby Rose cover shoot

The new issue of Time Out Sydney is out today featuring a cover story i photographed with MTV host Ruby Rose.
We shot it a couple of weeks ago in a brief morning shoot at Blue Murder Studios.
Some of the references i was considering were a Terry Richardson-esque punchy cover like the GQ one, or a [...]
JD Fortune and INXS photos never seen before
In light of this week’s news of JD Fortune and his inauspicious exit from INXS i thought it might be timely to revisit some photos i took of the band in happier times.
These are photos i took for Drum Media in April 2006, two different shots ended up on the cover of Drum in Sydney [...]
Ego tripping
I’ve had a few nice bits of press lately.
Above is a clipping from The Brag this week – it’s a little interview i did with Jake. It’s illustrated with an iPhone snap of me and the cat.
Cybele and I are profiled in the latest issue of Kluster.
And in January i actually made it on to [...]
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 [...]
Saul Williams magazine cover
Wide-Eyed magazine in LA is using a Saul Williams photo of mine on the cover of their latest issue.
Unlike some photography purists who don’t like manipulation of their images, i really enjoy seeing how a designer or artist will re-imagine a photo i’ve taken.
And this instance is no exception, it’s a great re-working of the [...]
Photo catch up
Here’s a trawl through the archives of my Flickr stream of photos that never made it to Boudist.
Most were shot for Time Out, but some are personal work.
Midnight Juggernauts photos
Here’s some of the finished photos from that shoot with Midnight Juggernauts in Centennial Park.
The band are riding high at the moment with a hectic touring schedule. As well as the North American tour they’re on now with Justice, they’re about to head to Europe and tour with Digitalism across the UK. They also appear [...]
Meet the Blogger
A little bit of self promotion in “The List” liftout in the Sydney Morning Herald today.
I was glad to get a plug for rival publication Time Out Sydney in there.
Photos in jmag
Here’s a selection of photos i took for jmag a while ago that have just been published. It’s the issue with Cybele’s photo on the cover.
Above is Nik from Lost Valentinos in the Sydney Uni Law Library. He’s got a law degree under his belt but has chosen the rock’n’roll path in life.
These [...]
bluejuice have problems
My first album cover photo!
This is the cover art for bluejuice’s debut album Problems. After being around for 6 years they’re finally releasing their debut album on the 11th August.
You may remember the photo when i first posted it.
I haven’t seen it myself yet, but i believe the rear CD art is the bottom [...]
Belles Will Ring Drum Cover
I did a little photo shoot with Belles Will Ring last week which is on the cover of Drum Media this week.
It was a bit last minute, the only time everyone was available was 8.30pm the night before the cover artwork was due. We used the studio, with a couple of coloured lights [...]
Friedrich Gray fashion show
I’d never photographed a fashion show before but always wanted to. So i was stoked when Dazed and Confused asked me to cover this Friedrich Gray fashion show. It was back in April, around fashion week time.
The venue was a lovely old church on Cleveland St called The Kirk. After the fashion parade a band [...]
Drum Cover and Me on the Radio
Remember when i said i was interviewed on FBI Radio? Well now you can download and listen to it.
Daniel Boud interviewed on FBI Radio by Lee Tran Lam (.m4a, 9.5Mb, 18 minutes with embedded images)
or if that doesn’t work for you try:

We don’t need another hero
First it was Telstra, then Girlfriend and now PC Magazine in the US is giving me a plug – under the headline "Heroes of Social Networking" no less. Hyperbole much?
Since when did i become the poster-child for blogging/social networking success?
I’ve had a decent run of photo opportunities in the past week though [...]
How to be an awesome blogger
As a teenager i would take pleasure in reading my sister’s Girlfriend and Dolly magazines. At that impressionable age these mags are like your bible. They taught me all i needed to know about girls, for better or worse.
So while it’s exceedingly daggy to get a mention on a topic like blogging, i’m [...]
