John Mayer, Sydney Entertainment Centre, Battle Studies World Tour

I think I’ve seen John live about five times now but this was the first time I’ve been able to photograph him on the other side of the barrier.

Three songs, no flash. No photo contract. Thank you.

Yes, he has many guitar faces.

One helluva rockshow.

In this incredibly grainy clip you might be able to make out some boob flashing.

Taylor Swift 2010 Fearless Tour Sydney

Photo notes:

• A bigger stage production in comparison to her gig at the Factory Theatre in 2009. The place was well lit!
• A t-bar catwalk stuck out the front of the stage allowed for shots like the one above.
• Shooting only the second and third songs meant that we had a limited amount of time to photograph.
• Photographers did not have a dedicated pit to shoot from; instead sharing a spot beneath the catwalk with security, video crews and VIP fans (who were kind enough to let us squeeze in when necessary).
• Taylor would pause in between songs to soak up and reflect upon the applause, cheering and squealing from her fans.
• I used the Canon 50mm f1.4 for the entirety of the concert after I discovered that my telephoto zoom lens had jammed! Epic fail.
• The gig was fun to shoot - Taylor Swift appears to be one of the nicest people in the music business and that really showed on stage.

Parklife 2009

I photographed the likes of La Roux, Empire of the Sun, Metric, Lady Sovereign and Little Boots for the Today Network.

It was an overcast day at Kippax Lake in Sydney, with stormy skies threatening to break and drench all and sundry.

Check out more Parklife photos (including ones taken by other photographers in Perth and Adelaide), my review of Parklife Sydney and a video piece I shot with Lady Sovereign.
