Making Monsters

Honestly, I hadn’t heard too much of Combichrist’s catalogue but what I had heard, I did like. Add to the fact that they were a highly visual act, which would hopefully make for some cool shots, that left me in high anticipatory mode for the show! Oh yeah, I’m easily excitable!

A few days before the gig I prepared somewhat, looking over some YouTube videos of the band just to see exactly where they all stood and what sort of choreography I could expect. As far at YouTube clips go – yeah, they looked totally cool so I got a feel for what I would expect tonight.

Third Printing

There are still a limited amount of copies of my book left. Based on my forthcoming photography exhibition, the book features over 50 of my personal favourite live music photos. It is beautifully bound in hardback form, features a dust cover and is of the highest quality possible. I would not be putting my name on it if it wasn’t.

The Devil’s Rain

It was with great excitement and anticipation that I got the call up to shoot The Misfits. Whoa dude! The Misfits! The band hasn’t toured these shores for the better part of 5 years and they were always a band whose name I had hastily scribbled onto a natty piece of paper and ceremoniously dumped into the old bucket list of bands I’d love to shoot!

With or without the mighty Evil Elvis Glenn Danzig, the Misfits still are a classic legendary punk band and I for one, was super excited about the opportunity to be in their photo-pit tonight.

Brunswick Street, Fitzroy

I was contacted by Transit Lounge Publishing who were after one of my photos of Brunswick Street to be used on the cover of a forthcoming book. (photo above)

The book is titled ‘Playing House’ and is by author Amy Choi.

Ace Frehley No Regrets

Undoubtedly it is always a huge thrill seeing your work published in any format. But when your work is on the verge of being seen by millions in a New York Times Best Seller, then that thrill gets even more exciting!

The photo that was featured in the book was the very last photo I took after being on tour with Ace and his band throughout the Australian Tour in early 2010.
