I was asked if I I could shoot a friend-of-a-friend’s newly formed theatre group on a cold Friday night in July. Hell yeah I wanted to have a crack at it. It did however take a while for me to realise that one of the members I’ve known for years – being one of my sister Hannah’s friends, Joanne Erskine.
Lighting, stylist, hair + makeup provided. Just be there to shoot with a few ideas based on some inspiration the group had taken from a variety of photography sources. The venue was deep in the dark caverns of NIDA.
To work with I had two small continuous lighting sources (erm, not sure what they were, I was a little distracted setting up, tearing down etc). One was used as a lightbox ~2m overhead and slight to the left, the second had barn doors attached to provide a small focused light source from behind.
This has been done more than a few times, however check the site, it works in quite well with some of their design work to date, so should be easily used on flyers and so forth.

Lighting was fantastic and the music even better. What a great night!

Midnight Juggernauts on stage at Come Together Festival @ The Big Top, Luna Park, Milsons Point – 6 June, 2009
Midnight Juggernauts were back for the first day of Come Together Festival at The Big Top along with a long line of acts. I got to shoot day one for REVERB Street Press in Newcastle.
Oh Mercy were definitely the standout act – something proven with their success in following up with a tour supporting Ben Folds around Australia and the release of their debut album.

Damn what a fun concert this was. Hordern Pavilion always represents a fantastic lighting scheme, and forewarning from a few other photographers told of a fantastic light show to finish out the night. The Presets, and Australian electronica for that matter, is most definitely in right now all around the globe – having come a long way from far more modest roots.
