The opening night crowd at Covers - photos by Patrick Stevenson

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 the show continues. The covers will be at Mart Gallery until 20th February. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 12-5pm.

The show and opening night wouldn’t have gone so well without the help of the following people. So HUGE THANKS to:

Mel at Mart Gallery
Everyone who’s come along to the show, and especially those who bought prints
Becks for providing the booze
Liv and Mimi for serving all that booze
Patrick Stevenson for taking the opening night photos
Cybele for being amazing and the star of the show
Justin for all his expertise prepping and hanging the work
All the media for helping spread the word about the show

We enjoyed great support from:

Thank you.

Covers – a photo show

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 include bluejuice, Ladyhawke, Philadelphia Grand Jury, The Presets, INXS, Pnau, Paul Dempsey and more.

Before the show, Cybele and i were racking our brains thinking of what to show. It was on open brief – it just had have something to do with music and art.

We toyed with the idea of creating new work, but found it hard to agree on anything, nor did we have time to put any grand schemes into action.

We decided to exhibit our catalogue of music magazine covers. Most of the music stuff we shoot these days is commissioned work – portraits of bands for publicity and editorial use. So it made sense for us to show the photos in the mode they were intended, which is usually for the covers of magazines. Plus Covers was a cool title with music connotations.

I’ve always been a consumer and aficionado of the music press, so the show is a celebration of them too. We all love the internet – but for me, music is forever entwined with magazines and photography. It’s where my love of music photography was borne – as a teenager pouring over music magazines, ripping off their covers to stick on my bedroom wall and cut out photos of my favourite bands for my school books.

It’s quite a thrill to be able to show some magazine covers that we photographed ourselves.

Cybele and i have been doing a bit of spruiking in the lead up to the show, with stories in the street press (shame old-media doesn’t put that stuff online), a feature in Pedestrian, a recommendation from Time Out and an interview in Side Street Sydney.

The pictures will be for sale, with all profit going to Oasis Youth Support Network.

There’s a Facebook event with all the info too.

Hope you can make it.

Shooting the shooter

I’ve been on holidays the past few weeks, taking in Kersey, London, Amsterdam, Dortmund, Cologne, Berlin, Athens and Milos.

Oddly i found that i didn’t have the desire to shoot much. So it’s probably one of my least photographed holidays ever, but one of the most enjoyable.

When i met up with Cybele in Greece and saw her enthusiasm for taking photos it inspired me to do the same.

But it mainly ended up just me taking pictures of her taking pictures.

I’m back in Sydney now, trying to hold onto that post holiday glow and enjoy the early mornings while i’m still jetlagged.

Book Club party

On Saturday night some friends threw a party at Cybele’s studio for their book club called Even Books.

The book was The Dirt, the story of Mötley Crüe, so the night was suitably hedonistic.

There was a reading from the book by Septimus Caton, Rock trivia with Elmo, Guitar Hero and a performance by Chaingang.

Lots more photos in the gallery.
