Moving on from Elana Stone, here’s some pictures i did with her sister, actress Yael Stone for a feature in Time Out Sydney.

She was preparing for her role in As You Like It at the Belvoir theatre, so we just bounced around the rehearsal room grabbing the odd prop and making some fun pictures.

To complete the Stone sibling photo wrap up you could always browse the archives for plentiful Jake Stone/bluejuice photos.

An afternoon with Carmen

Carmen arrives at the DIVA Awards in 2008

Sad news today that Sydney (via New Zealand) transgender icon Carmen Rupe passed away aged 75.

Carmen in her bedroom

I met her several times over the years while photographing for Time Out.

The most memorable was an afternoon i spent with her and writer Angus Fontaine in her small Surry Hills apartment. She spoke at length about her amazing life, born as Trevor in a sleepy New Zealand town, a stint in the army, a move to Sydney, prostitution, time in jail, a career as a drag performer in Kings Cross’s 60′s heyday and a fulltime switch to life as a woman.

Her home was a shrine to her fabulous life. Every inch of the place decked with mementos. I feel awfully sad for the poor soul faced with the grim task of pulling it all down.

The many faces of John Bell

John Bell, what a legend. Such an honour to photograph and get a personal and hilarious performance from.

I wrote a little more on my tumblr.

David and Margaret At The Movies

Watching Margaget Pomeranz and David Stratton‘s nostalgic look back at their 25 years together on screen reminded me to post these pictures i did of them for a feature in Time Out Sydney.

The picture that ran with the story was them on the ABC terrace but i also did another shot inside.

It’s a cliched idea, shooting them as if they’re watching a movie, but it was great fun talking them through it.

I told them i wanted them to act as if they were watching a film, that Margaret was and enjoying but David was finding frightfully dull. For motivation David wanted to know what film they were watching, i told them it was a Lars Von Trier film and that helped David get into character.

I didn’t know whether they’d go for the popcorn prop, but when i brought it out David was aghast, saying eating popcorn is some sort of abomination to movie watching. In typical fashion Margaret tut tutted him telling him to not be so stupid and that she’d happily eat the popcorn. Their personalities onscreen certainly matched them offscreen.

Bars and their tenders

The October issue of Time Out Sydney is a bit of a teaser for the Bar Awards and Bar Guide which are held and released next week.

It meant some bar hopping for me as i snapped bartenders who are up for awards.

First up was cover stars Anton and Jason from Shady Pines. I set up a paper roll in the bar for the cover.

After the cover, all the Shady Pines bar staff assembled for a group shot which nicely ran over a double page spread.

The week of these shoots i’d bought a new Octobox from B&H which proved useful for these run and gun bartender portraits. I’d just turn up, pop my Canon 580ex flash inside the Octobox and snap a few frames of the bartenders. Easy as, fast and portable.

Mooo! Shady Pines Saloon

The Bar Awards party where all the winners will be announced is happening next Monday night at The Standard. If cocktails, barbecue, paella, and canoodling with bar types is your thing then you can buy tickets here.

Sarah Doyle in Time Out Sydney

On Monday night Time Out Sydney held a party at Ms G’s to launch their Food Awards issue featuring Porteño‘s elegant maitre d’ Sarah Doyle on the cover. 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 of the designers.

Not so glamourous, as Sarah poses on a mop in my studio.

And here’s a few more from inside the mag.

Porteño picked up the award for Best New Restaurant

And some pictures that didn’t make the cut.

Sarah’s hair was done by Tony Vacher from Sterling.

Sydney Swan Adam Goodes

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.

Levins: hotdog connoiseur, photobomber extraordinaire

Daniel Boud — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 11:51:47 +0000

Here’s a picture i did with Levins at his new restaurant The Dip for Time Out Sydney. The Dip’s signature is Lev’s Dawg, a hot-dog which he proudly holds here.

Among his many talents, Levins is a master in the art of the photobomb. A photobomb is defined by Urban Dictionary as “an otherwise normal photo that has been ruined or spoiled by someone who was not supposed to be in the photograph.”

Because of this talent, i figured it would be funny to get him to photobomb himself for his Time Out portrait.

Here’s a collection of some of his photobombs from his website. They’re all by Patrick Stevenson from Hobogestapo.

And for those who may think Levins is new to the world of the hot-dog, here’s a snap i took of him back in 2005, when he was even more babyfaced than today.

Levins was manning the sausage sizzle at an instore performance by Macromantics at the now defunct Gifted Records store in Surry Hills.

His ‘dawgs’ may be a little more refined these days but it’s evidently through years of practice.

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 and their burgers in one of the private dining rooms.

Becasse review

As well as the burgers i got to sample some fine dining fare at the new Bécasse restaurant in the revamped Westfield in the city.

Menya Mappen review

I also shot Menya Mappen in the city in a guerrilla style shoot.

When photographing for reviews i always call ahead to the restaurant asking to come in and take photos. It’s done separately to the writer, they remain anonymous and the restaurant doesn’t know they’re being reviewed till after it’s done and the first they read of it is in the magazine.

But when i asked to shoot Menya Mappen they said i couldn’t have permission to take photos unless they read the review and approved it first. That’s a big no no, so i just had to visit and photograph undercover. So like anyone i lined up for my food, ordered and ate while taking a few sneaky snapshots while no one was looking.

I photographed director Iain Sinclair to accompany his new play Rope which is playing at Bondi Pavilion.

I also took some shots of the cast for an online feature.
