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 [...]

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 [...]
The Grates for triple j magazine
I’ve had a few weeks off, getting married in Thailand and whatnot. But it’s time to hop back on the blogging wagon so here’s some clippings from a shoot i did before i left with The Grates for triple j magazine. As soon as Patience did the yelling thing, gnashing her teeth, i knew it was [...]
Time Out Burger Wars issue photos
For the June issue of Time Out Sydney they staged a burger showdown, where six of Sydney’s top chefs prepared their burger for a blind taste test from a panel of six restaurant critics. It was hosted at Rockpool Bar and Grill and i set up a bit a mobile studio to shoot the chefs [...]
Sparkadia Drum Cover
Last week a picture i took of Alex from Sparkadia graced the cover of Drum Media. It’s great to work with Alex again, we’ve a long history as i’m pretty sure i took their first ever press shots back in 2005 when they were still called The Spark. The picture they ran inside with the [...]
Dan Kelly and Gareth Liddiard in Rolling Stone
I had a couple of fun photo assignments published in the most recent issue of Rolling Stone, first up was some pictures with Gareth Liddiard and Dan Kelly who are soon to embark on a national tour together. As is often the case it was a last minute shoot with no particular brief or vision [...]
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 [...]
Annandale Hotel 10th Birthday
Over the past couple of weeks my local, The Annandale Hotel has been celebrating its ten year anniversary. The place has stood for a lot longer than ten years, but the anniversary marks the time it’s been owned and run in it’s current incarnation by Matt and Dan Rule. I saw a couple of the [...]
Vieux Farka Touré live album cover
Back in January i photographed Summer Sounds in the Domain for Sydney Festival, which featured Malian musician Vieux Farka Touré. Some weeks after the gig, his label got in touch asking to buy the image for a live album he was releasing. And now it’s coming out. On pre-order at Amazon.

Small Sydney Bars for Tiger Tales
It was more photographing of those small Sydney bars a few weeks ago shooting this story for Tiger Airways inflight magazine. It was my first job for them, so i was happy to get the cover and a seven page feature. I spent a Saturday evening jumping between Sticky Bar, Pocket, The Falconer and Name [...]
Covers – continues to February 20th
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 [...]

Ego tripping
I’ve had a few nice bits of press lately. Above is a clipping from The Brag this week – it’s a little interview i did with Jake. It’s illustrated with an iPhone snap of me and the cat. Cybele and I are profiled in the latest issue of Kluster. And in January i actually made [...]
Saul Williams magazine cover
Wide-Eyed magazine in LA is using a Saul Williams photo of mine on the cover of their latest issue. Unlike some photography purists who don’t like manipulation of their images, i really enjoy seeing how a designer or artist will re-imagine a photo i’ve taken. And this instance is no exception, it’s a great re-working [...]
Meet the Blogger
A little bit of self promotion in “The List” liftout in the Sydney Morning Herald today. I was glad to get a plug for rival publication Time Out Sydney in there.

My first album cover photo! This is the cover art for bluejuice‘s debut album Problems. After being around for 6 years they’re finally releasing their debut album on the 11th August.

Belles Will Ring Drum Cover
I did a little photo shoot with Belles Will Ring last week which is on the cover of Drum Media this week. It was a bit last minute, the only time everyone was available was 8.30pm the night before the cover artwork was due. We used the studio, with a couple of coloured lights on [...]
Friedrich Gray fashion show
I’d never photographed a fashion show before but always wanted to. So i was stoked when Dazed and Confused asked me to cover this Friedrich Gray fashion show. It was back in April, around fashion week time. The venue was a lovely old church on Cleveland St called The Kirk. After the fashion parade a [...]
My top 3 photo sites in Girlfriend
I made it into Girlfriend magazine again this month, nominating my top 3 photo websites. Of course Flickr was number one, alongside the photobloggies and strobist. I originally included Nikola Tamindzic’s website instead of the photobloggies, but Girlfriend’s sub-editors deemed it inappropriate for it’s occasional nudity.
Published in print
I’m published in the NME! They’re running a full page photo of Tahita from New Young Pony Club that i took at V Festival in Sydney the other week. It’s in the issue with Noel Gallagher on the cover. I’ll have a few shots in the coming issue of SPIN too (with the festivals cover). [...]
Metro and The Great Escape
Metro is the Friday entertainment supplement of the Sydney Morning Herald. I’ve been reading it forever and last week a photo of mine was on the cover. So i was chuffed about that. I didn’t even know about it till yesterday and only just managed to find a copy. It’s a photo of The Black [...]
