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 making it look so good. And props to Foxtel for funding it too.

I’ve posted some of the photos i shot on the project before, but most remained in my archives so i’ve dug some out to share here.

Here’s some picture’s i did with Sydney Swans AFL star Adam Goodes. They were for a feature in Time Out Sydney.

Even for those like me with little to no interest in AFL the interview is worth a read.

It was all pretty quick, we took a couple of shots in the Swans dressing room at the Sydney Cricket Ground, then went onto the pitch.

When we arrived it was pouring rain, but luckily it cleared enough to head outside for some ominous cloud shots. The outdoor shot was lit by my little Canon Speedlite which i was surprised to discover was bright enough to overpower the daylight.

These photos have been sitting on my hard drive for too long, it’s time they get an airing here. I present to you Kamahi Djordan King and his flamboyant alter ego Constantina Bush.

They were shot in June last year while i was taking stills on Who We Are, a Foxtel series of short profiles of Indigenous Australian artists. The same project as the Dan Sultan photos.

I’d never heard of Kamahi or Constantina before working on this, but now i think he should be considered a national treasure. Endlessly creative, he makes a living as a visual artist with his personal and contemporary take on Aboriginal art. But he also performs as the outrageous Constantina Bush in a stage show with his backup dancers The Bushettes.

The Foxtel crew filmed Kamahi performing as Constantina Bush up in Queensland at the Dreaming Festival and later went to Melbourne to get the visual artist side of him at the Koorie Heritage Trust.

I was incredibly fortunate and proud to be involved in this Who We Are project. It’s a series of video profiles on indigenous artists that will air on Foxtel next month.

These are some promotional posters. They all feature my photos, and there’s loads more of my photography on the Who We Are website. I’ll post more of the photos soon.

A few weeks back Time Out Sydney published an indigenous themed issue timed for Reconciliation Week. I photographed some of the people and places we were profiling.

Above is Uncle Max Eulo who’s commonly known for the smoking ceremony he performs as a welcome to Sydney. I ventured out with him on the Tribal Warrior early one morning.

Sorry speech

Thousands of Sydneysiders braved the rain this morning to witness a live broadcast from Canberra of Prime Minister Rudd apologising to the Stolen Generations.

Martin Place was filled with people from all walks of life, toting their umbrellas and filled with emotion. The end of the speech was met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

It was a rather special moment on what feels like a historic day.

See more photos from the occasion in a slideshow at Time Out Sydney.
