I’ve been interested in shooting music since the days of the Angels, Midnight Oil and INXS. I would take a camera into these shows, but with film it was a bit hit-and-miss. My favourite shot from that era is Michael Hutchence, up close at Adelaide Uni.

Since digital cameras became more affordable, I gained a new interest in music photography, and shoot gigs and festivals for The AU Review, Amnplify, Glam Adelaide and others. My biggest thrill is having a band share a photo that I’ve taken. My musical tastes range from punk to dance and I love the intensity of the interaction between performer and photographer.
