Apocalypse Theatre presents The Dapto Chaser - and you can help!

I posted a couple of weeks ago about a shoot I did with the guys you can see here - Noel Hodda, Jamie Oxenbould, Danny Adcock, & Richard Sydenham - for Apocalypse Theatre's upcoming show, The Dapto Chaser, coming up in July as part of Griffin Theatre's independent season. At that point the first image had just come out, but the social media campaign has (naturally) been continuing since then, so I thought I'd post a few more images that have been doing the rounds recently...

Apocalypse Theatre presents The Dapto Chaser

I'm really pleased to be working with Apocalypse Theatre again on their upcoming show The Dapto Chaser, by Mary Rachel Brown. We did a studio shoot recently for this promo / social media campaign announcing the cast for the show, which opens in July at Griffin Theatre as part of their Independent series...

Apocalypse Theatre presents Asylum: 3 & 4

The Asylum project wrapped up over the weekend, and I managed to get back to the Old 505 Theatre on Thursday and Saturday to photograph the last two blocks of scripts I hadn't had an earlier chance to photograph...

Apocalypse Theatre presents Asylum: 5

I know, I've gotten a little bit out of order with these - sometimes my schedule is like that! So in this case, I've had a chance to photograph block 5 of Asylum before I've been to blocks 3 & 4; but don't worry, they're still coming.

Last night was the second group of plays presented as part of Asylum, by Apocalypse Theatre here in Sydney - and another great group of performers, and scripts...

Apocalypse Theatre presents Asylum: 1

This week and next, I'm one of a group of artists donating their time to work on a series of staged readings entitled Asylum, around the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers attempting to make a new home here in Australia.

Photographing the arts: What the heck is that thing!? (Why, it's a blimp, of course...)

If there's one piece of camera gear I spend the most time talking to people about, it would have to be this: my Jacobson Sound Blimp.

When I'm talking to clients about it, it's my 'silencer' - which lets me photograph in near silence during filming, concerts, operas, and theatre performances with an audience. When people do (occasionally) spot me during these kinds of shoots, mostly they imagine it's a giant old film camera, and wonder why I'm not into digital like all the kids are today!
