PR photography for fun and profit
I don’t post much of the photography here that i shoot for public relations companies. For whatever reason PR photography is looked down upon compared to editorial or commercial work. And often the photography can be fairly pedestrian, lots of socials, overt branding and b grade celebs – but i’m lucky enough to shoot some [...]
Summer at the Opera House
The past couple of months i’ve had the great pleasure of photographing a number of different things for the Sydney Opera House. Rolling up to work at one of the world’s most iconic buildings never gets tired. And shooting fun things is a great bonus. Here’s some of the photos, starting with Laura Marling last [...]
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.
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.
Homebake 2011
I almost skipped posting these, but i’ve got 6 years of photographing Homebake here, so i ought to keep up the tradition. It’s also the first music festival i ever photographed so i have a soft spot for it.
Triple j’s Nick Cave tribute
Triple j’s Nick Cave tribute show, dubbed Straight To You, rolled through Sydney’s Enmore theatre last week and i dropped by to take some pictures and catch up with old pals.
Florence and the Machine
It was quite a joy photographing Florence and the Machine this evening in Sydney’s intimate York Theatre at the Seymour Centre.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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.
Backstage at Rosemount Australian Fashion Week
Last week i photographed behind the scenes at a number of Rosemount Australian Fashion Week shows for Little Hero PR. It’s a pretty fun gig, shooting models and hanging out with photographer buddies. A lot of my brief was shooting sponsorship stuff but i snapped some frames for my own interest in between. I made [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Laneway Festival 2011
Last weekend I wrapped up one of the best photo assignments i’ve ever had as official photographer for the Laneway Festival. I’ve shot Laneway every year in Sydney since its first time there in 2006 and i think it’s the best festival in Australia, and I don’t just say that because they have the good [...]
Big Day Out Sydney 2011
Here’s some of my snaps of the Sydney Big Day Out last Thursday. I spent the bulk of my time backstage shooting portraits for FasterLouder but ducked out a few times to catch some performances for Time Out. Like five years ago when Iggy Pop’s performance blew my mind at the 2006 Big Day Out, [...]
Swimming with the fishes in Phi Phi
It’s been a bit quiet round these parts as i was dipping my toes into the warm waters of Thailand.
Time Out Food and Drink photos
It’s been a while since i’ve posted some of my food and drink photos that i’ve shot for Time Out Sydney so here’s a bit of an update from the past few issues. Unlike previous times, i’m showing the actual page layouts, so you can see how the my photos are used in context of [...]
Gareth Liddiard
Here’s some pictures i took of Gareth Liddiard, the frontman of The Drones who has just released a solo record called Strange Tourist.
Dan Sultan
Here’s some photos i took of Dan Sultan while i was working as the stills photographer on Foxtel’s Who We Are series.
Behind the Scenes of Australia’s Next Top Model
Back in June i had an assignment for ACP magazines, shooting pictures behind-the-scenes at the taping of an Australia’s Next Top Model shoot. I’ve never seen the show before, except for that kerfuffle over Sarah Murdoch announcing the wrong winner. No such problems on a non-live taping like i was tagging along with though. The [...]
