This may be a little self-indulgent, but I’m sad and don’t really care. I first saw Soundgarden in Newcastle in January 1997. If I’m honest, that wasn’t a great show – it was just a couple of months before they broke up, and in hindsight, you could tell they just weren’t into it. Fast forward […]
The Lumineers
View fullsize Warming up for their set at the following day’s Gold Coast Big Day Out, The Lumineers played one of the very few festival sideshows that Brisbane is graced with each season. For me, this was the first gig I’d shot since October. For some reason – restricting myself to one publication, not playing […]
Both Ends: Burnt
Most of the time, this real-job-with-a-bit-of-photography-on-the-side caper is just fine. But right now, I’m just about ready to drop. Over the last five days (during which I just happen to be doing my bosses job at work), I have also shot BigSound Live, a 2-night music festival in Brisbane, and The Stampede, a 2-day obstacle/adventure race […]
You Am I
There was no way I was going to miss this. You Am I, my favourite Australian band, playing songs from my two favourite albums Hi Fi Way and Hourly, Daily. Thankfully, I got a chance to shoot it for The Au Review. Retrospective, whole album tours are a thing lately, but don’t think this was just […]
Tegan and Sara
Tegan and Sara were in Brisbane last night, supported by Melbourne synth-popsters Clubfeet. I took some photos for The AU Review. If past experience is anything to go by, I expect these photos will be all over tumblr in no time flat.

Hungry Kids of Hungary
It’s been a couple of years or so, but I think this was the 8th time I’ve photographed Hungry Kids of Hungary. Their new album, You’re a Shadow, is one of the few albums I’ve bought this year, and it’s a pretty great Indie Pop record. You should buy it.
Soundwave 2013
The Soundwave Festival kicked off for another year in Brisbane yesterday. As usual, I was there to shoot for The AU Review. 70-odd photos, including Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, Anthrax, The Wonder Years, Bullet For My Valentine, Deaf Havana, Billy Talent, Sleeping With Sirens, Sum 41, Of Mice And Men, Slayer, Paramore, Garbage and Metallica. Enjoy. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize […]
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
I’ve really cut back on the live music work recently, but Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, my second show of 2013, has me excited to shoot more again. Unusually for an international act, I shot the whole show in a very hot and sweaty photo pit in Brisbane’s Arena. This was the most fun I’ve had […]
Gotye
I headed down to Brisbane’s Riverstage last night to photograph recent 3-time Grammy nominee and the guy with *that* song, Gotye, for The AU Review. View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize
