A few weeks back I spent half a day with mountains-based death metal band Resonator. For all these shots I put a 24″ softbox on the key light and used a second flash for fill/rim.
Thought this gig deserved posting up, given what a sweet light show it was. Never seen such energy at the Enmore
May was a quiet month for live stuff, the only show of merit being Suicidal Tendencies at the Metro Theatre. I also went along to the Segression’s ‘Never Dead’ gig at the Annandale, but I ended up being a lighting tech for some of the night and then got talking to (and drinking with) people [...]
I feel compelled to write something about this plugin, given how much time it saved me in my recent blog upgrade. It’s function is quite specialised, but it’s nevertheless worth a mention. My situation was this: For a year I’d been using Zenfolio for my image hosting, and this meant that I’d been hotlinking my [...]
I’ve decided to go for a monthly roundup of gig photos this time. A digest if you will. Anyway April was a good month, most of the jobs being for BLUNT mag. Here are some of the shots…
February 19, 2011 by Jamie Funktacular This was my first gig of 2011 and it was a blast! Stayed right ’til the end for this one, because sometimes you just can’t beat disco*. *It’s true
December 30, 2010 by Jamie Well 2010 is nearly over, so I thought this was a good time to look back on the last few months and scan in some magazines that have used my photos. It’s been a whirlwind ride really: In less than six months I have shot 65 different bands in Sydney, from my first small gig [...]
December 5, 2010 by Jamie “What’s up Sydney??!!” ‘Pop rock’ or not, I actually really like Paramore, so I was stoked when I got asked to cover their visit to Sydney in October. The band drew a, um.. ‘youthful’ clientele to the Sydney Entertainment Centre, with, as expected, the demographic mostly comprising 14 year old demi-clones of frontlady Hayley Williams. [...]
November 24, 2010 by Jamie “IIIIIIII’ve bin workin’ hard!” This was my second time shooting The Snowdroppers, although on the previous occasion they were supporting Hell City Glamours at the Oxford Art Factory. This time it was a headline show, and they certainly drew an eclectic mix of punters! There was a great atmosphere at the Manning on this night, [...]
November 22, 2010 by Jamie This could be anywhere in the world (but it’s not, it’s in Sydney) I’ll never be able to choose a favourite band, but Torontonian post-hardcore-ers Alexisonfire are, to my surprise as much as anyone else’s, strong contenders. The band managed to sell out the UNSW Roundhouse, and that’s despite the somewhat non-transferrable Canadian subject matter [...]
