As i wrote previously, i was the official photographer for The Great Escape Festival two weeks ago. It was so much fun – both the festival itself and the job of taking photos.

It’s a three day festival, which makes for lots of photos. First up is pictures from Day 1.

The Vines were a popular act as the sun set on the main stage. As usual Craig trashed the stage during the last song.

I was excited to see my perennial favourites Wolfmother headline Day 1. They’re still playing the same tunes they were at the little venues of Sydney 3 years ago, but they translate well to a big stage and the crowd adores them.

One of the great things about a AAA pass is getting to shoot the angles you can’t normally get from the pit. I love getting the audience in the same shot as the performer.

Kaki King was in a world of her own, head down playing guitar. She finished her song, saw me and gave me a cheesy thumbs up.

One of the best things about The Great Escape is the wide range of non-musical entertainment on offer.
