Kate Miller-Heidke - Behind The Scenes
At Kate's recent performance at the National Museum of Australia I was able to spend some time backstage before the show and photograph some of the preparations. It was a real privilege and lovely to chat to Kate, Keir and Jess prior to the show.
"Kate Miller-Heidke": By The Water
One of my favourite performers to photograph is Kate Miller-Heidke. She is just an amazingly talented performer (along with her husband Keir Nuttall). She is also incredibly giving and lovely. I have photographed her on many occasions over the past 8 or so years, from small gigs through to festivals and even at the Sydney Opera House. Tonight she was performing by Lake Burley Griffin next to the National Museum Of Australia to a wonderful audience of people that weren't even phased by the rain during the set.
Behind-the-Scenes photos will be coming soon!
“Super Best Friends” – ANU Bar Finale

“Citizen Kay” – ANU Bar Finale
Next up from the ANU Bar Finale gig, we have Citizen Kay. I had never seen him perform before and wow what a treat it was!
"TONK" - ANU Bar Finale
Tonight I made one final trip to the ANU Bar for the final gig before it closes forever. Thinking of all the bands that have played there and the ones I was lucky enough to photograph over the last ten years of shooting bands makes me feel both happy and sad. It will be a massive loss for live music in Canberra.
I managed to photograph the last couple of bands and will be uploading photos over the coming week.
First up we have TONK. My favourite Canberra band and great guys. I have been photographing them ever since I started shooting gigs back in 2007 and have loved every gig I have been to of theirs both in Canberra and interstate. They are always so much fun to photograph.
The Whitlams - 25th Anniversary Tour
Hot on the heels of a photo of mine being used for the “Icehouse” 40th Anniversary Tour promotion, a photo of mine is being used to promote “The Whitlams” 25th Anniversary Tour in 2017. It was fantastic to get the chance to photograph this amazing Australian band, one that I have loved since I was a teenager.
It is a real honour to have a photo of mine tied to this important milestone.
A massive thank you to Tim Freedman, Jak, Terepai and Warwick from the band and also Kim and Tim.

Icehouse 40 Years Live!!!
So, I have some pretty awesome news that I have kept quiet about for a few weeks now.A photo I took of Iva Davies from the band "Icehouse" on their 2012 tour has been chosen for their 40 Years Live promotional material.
It will appear on posters, online and in other forms of advertising for their 40 Years Live Tour.
I am stupidly excited about this after 8 or so years of music photography; it is great to have people like a photo of mine enough to use in this way.
To be involved with a band like this, a band that I have loved and listened to (one of my all time favourite songs is by Icehouse) ever since I was a child, is amazing.
Thank you Iva, Icehouse Management & the very talented folks at Next Episode for turning my humble little photo into some pretty amazing art.
I will share more images and the poster when they are released. Please drop me a line if you see this out and about, I would love to know.
