"Perri" - Photoshoot

A few weeks ago I caught up with a friend of mine, Perri, to discuss some photoshoot ideas. Today we had a really fun afternoon bringing some of them to life. We took lots of great photos in some really fun locations around town.

A lot of her time was spent upside down as we both realised when looking through the photos afterwards. Her friend Kate came along to help which was fantastic as she provided some awesome ideas that I think turned out really well.

We have another shoot planned for next weekend to complete more of our long list of ideas. So stay tuned.

"The Basics" @ Transit Bar

Tonight I went to see one of my favourite bands; "The Basics", perform at "Transit Bar". It's been almost 2 years since they performed here and it was great to hear some new music from their new album. (Still in the recording process, so hopefully out before the end of the year).

I had spoken to Wally (Drums/Vocals) a few weeks ago about doing a photoshoot after the gig and they were more than happy to muck around for 5 minutes in a stairwell after the show. Thanks heaps Wally, Kris and Tim! - It was a lot of fun.

"Grace" - Wednesday Evening Photoshoot

Late today I met up with Grace  to do another photshoot. It's always great fun taking photos of Grace, shes photogenic and has fun.

This time we chose a few different locations around town, and we managed to sneak up to Mt Stromlo before closing to get some great sunset shots.

"Jemma" - Photoshoot

Jemma, a friend of mine was interested in showing off some of her tattoos in a "Suicide Girl" style photoshoot. We had been planning it for a while and it kept getting postponed due to both our work commitments. We finally manged to settle on a date/time however nature had it in for us and decided to rain heavily for most of the day. We braved the weather and went out in one of the dry spells and managed to get a couple of great photos.

Photos to come.

Snow Patrol - Hordern Pavillion

Yesterday I went up to Sydney to see Snow Patrol play at the Hordern Pavillion with my mother and sister. They are my favourite band and have been for a while now. This concert was the 4th time I had seen the band play live. I had tried to arrange a Media pass to get into the photographers pit but unfortunately this didn't happen. Not to worry. As usual we were up the front of the mosh infront of Paul the bass player. I managed to tweak the settings on my Canon IXUX 75 camera to at least get some slightly reasonable photos of the guys.

I can only imagine how good they would have been if I had had my DSLR there.

Had another nice long chat to Paul and Gary (lead singer) after the show and Paul had a look through my shots from the night; "Really! Awesome" was his response.

Here are a couple of the shots from the night. (Please forgive the "noise")
