DISNEY OFF ICE - At the recent @thesocietyofphotog

DISNEY OFF ICE - At the recent @thesocietyofphotographers 20x16”, this image for @observatorytheatre’s Disney Off Ice scored a tidy 90 in the Advertising+Commercial division. That was enough to get me to the finalist podium vs the untouchable @neilshearer_photography for the second year in a row. There’s no shame in being a runner up when the winner scored a near-perfect 99!! (Watch your back Neil, I’m coming for ya. 😆)

We updated the image for the new season of Disney Off Ice - 6 shows only at Studio1 in Yeerongpilly from 28 Feb through 9 March - all the details at @observatorytheatre’s site!

Thanks @lachlan_driscoll for being such an excellent creative collaborator when we are working on images like these! It’s such a privilege to get to make work that represents an entire production, especially one as fun as this one 😊

Also thanks to @e_vintagebrisbane for curating such a great set of vintage TVs, and @adventures_of_petit_poisson for his spectacular on-camera work bringing the unhinged and reheated Walt Disney to life!!

GET IT INYA

If there was some kind of prize for the most wild and frantic branding work on my plate for 2024, @bigforktheatre’s Get It Inya is WAY in front of anything else! This was so much fun to shoot and to put together. ALMOST as much fun as the actual show - hit Big Fork’s website for all the details on their excellent productions!!

HUGE congrats to our friends at @piptheatreau and the cast and creative team behind Fun House, snagging three nominations for the prestigious @matildaawards! This is no small achievement!!

BEST PERFORMANCE IN A LEADING ROLE – INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION Adam Bartlett

BEST PERFORMANCE IN A SUPPORTING ROLE – INDEPENDENT PRODUCTION Micheal Enright

BEST MUSICAL OR CABARET - Fun Home

As @piptheatreau says: Fun Home is a deeply important story, as a beautifully crafted musical and a work that champions LGBTQI+ representation on stage.

Getting to photograph shows like this is always such a treat. It feels like a private performance, just for me, and I get to choose where I watch any given moment of the show for maximum impact. And this show had maximum impact ❤️

(Also, thanks Pip and most likely the excellent @jenna.todd because I stole your images from your post with that award emblem on the bottom #dontsueme)

Another shot from my Long Exposure Portraiture workshop for the SWPP in London. I didn’t take too many shots, but I did sneak a few in!! I’ve been marvelling at the shots taken by workshop participants as they post them in our private Facebook group, and… it is SO GOOD seeing different people with different brains and different ideas using the same raw material and making completely different portraits!!

Props to @kenzielauder, who models for pretty much the entire week at the @thesocietyofphotographers convention and just crushes it shoot after shoot ❤️

I had the most wonderful experience today. It’s always a pleasure working with the excellent folks from @minolatheatre. When @katjaned told me about the cast I’d be shooting for this show, I got REALLY excited - every one of them is a great human, and I have history with all of them in different ways, spanning my history as both a performer and photographer, in some cases going back 35 years! (Impro Gladiators at Dockside circa 1989? Yes please!) So this was an absolute treat today, and it makes me so thankful that I get to work with and spend time with creatives that are top shelf humans. @the_rumblebee Matt @colinwsmithau @itsthatonegirlclaire @ozhenry @katjaned you are all spectacular and I’m glad to know you!!!

Thank you @songbirdimages for the great photo!!

SWPP Photojournalism Photographer of the Year 2025

SWPP Photojournalism Photographer of the Year 2025!

At the awards ceremony for @thesocietyofphotographers 2025 20x16 print awards, I am absolutely thrilled to have taken out the PJ category! Photojournalism is not my norm, but a theatre-related project was a perfect opportunity to tell an important story in an authentic observational way.

I’m proud to be part of the @artstheatre community, photographing shows for more than 10 years, but this was a very special show to photograph - the last performance at 210 Petrie Terrace after 60+ years.

I’ll share some full sized images soon, but here’s the print hanging on the wall in the gallery.

LACHLAN Good egg @lwhm_7 is the next in this week
