I took some photos at the MTV Australia Awards at Australian Technology Park in Redfern on April 26th. I was working with Cybele shooting for MTV so had pretty sweet access.

Good Charlotte @ Paddington Town Hall

Here’s some photos from a Good Charlotte gig at Paddington Town Hall last month. It was a special event sponsored by Motorola and Optus and broadcast on Channel V.

There were lots of snappers at the event hoping to catch a shot of the singer Joel Madden’s pregnant girlfriend Nicole Richie. I was asked to get photos of her, so i had to go into paparazzi mode to grab a snap as she darted in the back door of the venue.

Lots more photos from the concert in the gallery.

MTV Australia Video Music Awards

I photographed the MTV Australia Video Music Awards at Acer Arena on Sunday night.

It was an elaborate affair with big name attendees like Fergie, Pink, Good Charlotte, 30 Seconds to Mars, Nicole Richie and a host of Australian bands and b-grade ‘celebrities’.

Despite the big names, taking pictures at an event like this is decidedly unfulfilling. The photographers are cordoned off into an area to take photos as people arrive. The celebrities are ushered in front of a wall of MTV logos and the scrum of dozens of paparazzi style photographers goes mental, snapping away and barking instructions to look in their direction.

After everyone’s arrival on the red carpet it’s backstage to the media room where you end up waiting around for long periods of time until the talent arrives, posing with their award, the photographers shoot wildly for a burst until the talent leaves and calm and boredom sets in again.

It’s creatively unfulfilling because you’re essentially getting the exact same photo as every other snapper there and it’s all so tightly stage managed.

Despite all my complaining, it is something i’d do again. And i will be in a couple of weeks at the Jack Awards.

I was shooting the awards for Retna and you can also see some of my pictures at Defamer Australia.

You can see more of my pictures in the MTV AVMA’s photo gallery.
