Fringe February

February has been mind blowing. The things I've seen and experienced thanks to my camera and the passion to capture each moment.

Studying portraiture from a book was much more worthwhile than other means...

Even got some Studio time thanks to - Image Style Studio and the Camera Club Australia.

 So many photos and not enough space or time to upload! This year has only just begun and I can't wait to see what else will happen next :)

Thanks so much for tuning in, supporting me or even just glancing over my photos longer than the time it takes to appreciate it. Thanks.

Are you living somebody else's dream?

Who's life are you living?

Lydia (USA) and Line Up @ Amplifier, 18th January 2012

I can never believe each opportunity until I have photo proof of it. On the 18th of January 2012, I was approved through FASTERLOUDER to take photos for USA band, Lydia, to shoot for their "Paint It Golden" Australian Tour @ Amplifier. First time shooting there, the lights were unbelievable, people were friendly and bands were awesome. Sophie Joy, TV Snow and Place of Indigo lined up to support the band. 

I was so nervous before the show, I'm glad you couldn't see it on the other side of the camera, but I hope the shots were good enough. I was extremely stoked when Lydia uploaded two of my photos onto their page. I was able to take the photos 3 songs into their show, and I couldn't believe how much I didn't need to edit because the stage lights were amazing! 

I have been getting unlimited support from friends and family, and it means a tonne when anyone likes a photo or even takes more than a second to look at it. My dream is not only have the opportunities to take photos of bands that I love, and create everlasting memories of them, but to be able to share an inspiration, an idea or a belief that dreaming is possible when you work hard. 

Thank you so much for dropping by, whether I know you or not, I'm so grateful for it.

So many gigs and events coming up, hopefully I can take lots of photos. It's become this obsession that helps me get through this life.

Sad but true.

FASTER LOUDER

5 years ago, I had stumbled across this website and had occasionally looked at it as a source of information for rock band coming to Australia. In 2010, I had my photo taken with a friend from a Photographer of FasterLouder and I had always wanted to take photos for this site. On New Years 2012, I got accepted by their editor to be a photographer! 

I was totally stoked, My first gig was last night at Norfolk Hotel for three great bands, and my next big one is on Wednesday with a USA band, LYDIA @ Amps. I'm so excited yet nervous at the same time! 

Here is the site to my new published photo album :)

PS. Today, a band also requested for my photo and video skills! I finally might have enough to pay off this Portrait Course I paid for just recently with Camera Club Australia. Life is becoming the dream. 

Northlane

Northlane was amazing on stage and such a feeling to take a photo like this to remember the night when they came to Perth on 15.12.11 :)
