    CALUM Could this be the nicest human on the Brisb CALUM Could this be the nicest human on the Brisbane theatre scene? I think yes? It was SO GOOD to have performer Calum Johnston of @mothlighttheatre in the studio for headshots. If I had to sum up Calum’s shows in one word, it would be: delightful. So it was so good to spend time with him in the studio for headshots 😊😊 #headshot #brisbaneheadshots #brisbaneheadshotphotographer #actorheadshots #imagesbyanderson #imagesbyandersonheadshots @nzipp.national #nzippaccreditedphotographer #ppaq #ppaq_official #nzippmaster #aippmaster #iconmaster #cosmosmaster #swppfellow #godoxlighting #eizo #eizoapac #eizoambassador #coloredge #visualizedoneizo
    RHIANNON Had a spectacular shoot with the always RHIANNON Had a spectacular shoot with the always amazing @_rhiannonboyle a week ago, can’t wait to share some of the shots!! In the meantime, here she is from her session last year. Now booking March and April!
    Today I want to celebrate Swich Up Productions’ Today I want to celebrate Swich Up Productions’ Jekyll & Hyde, originally scheduled to close their 4-show run today before TC Alfred rudely postponed their entire season. Aside from looking and sounding A. MAZE. ING. these guys were an absolute blast to shoot with! The show must go on! Jekyll & Hyde’s even MORE unforgettable production hits @ipswichciviccentre from May 9-11. Tickets are back on sale - visit @swichupproductions for all the details!!
    The chances of having water dumped on you at the e The chances of having water dumped on you at the end of a headshot session are low but never zero 😬 Today’s TC Alfred themed post is from @ryansgoodwin’s headshot session a few years back. I promise we got “proper” headshots first. When we have everything in the can and time to spare, I’m always up for some experimentation, and this was Ryan’s idea so I don’t feel too bad about it… 😊😊 I’ve got one headshot session available on an otherwise booked-solid Saturday 22 March. AND ok here’s the deal. If you snag it and you’re willing to have water dumped on you like Ryan here, I’ll extend your session by a little bit and I’ll throw in three extra selections - that’s $120 of value AND you get awesome wet headshots 😀⛈️DM if you’re keen and let’s get you in!! #headshot #brisbaneheadshots #brisbaneheadshotphotographer #actorheadshots #imagesbyanderson #imagesbyandersonheadshots @nzipp.national #nzippaccreditedphotographer #ppaq #ppaq_official #nzippmaster #aippmaster #iconmaster #cosmosmaster #swppfellow #godoxlighting #eizo #eizoapac #eizoambassador #coloredge #visualizedoneizo
    Continuing our Cyclone Alfred-inspired posts… He Continuing our Cyclone Alfred-inspired posts… Here’s another Theatresports Grand Championships image for @improvqld - this time superhero inspired. Well, kinda. That colander on @thevonbomb’s is still part of our everyday kitchen arsenal!! Tonight/tomorrow morning is Big Wind Night for us so hopefully it’s not super exciting, and then Alfred crosses the coast tomorrow morning. Hope everyone is staying safe and sound!!
    Next in our Cyclone Alfred-inspired series of rain Next in our Cyclone Alfred-inspired series of rainy posts… This is probably one of the most successful commercial images I’ve made, for @improvqld’s Theatresports Grand Championships. It’s been steady and recognised branding for this Brisbane Comedy Festival show for ages, filling seats since 2017. And it’s had its fair share of recognition in awards too. Tickets are on sale now for the Theatresports Grand Championships! This year I’m playing music for the show too!! If you wanna see some great improvised comedy on May 4, head to the @briscomedyfest site and buy your tickets now!!
    Brisbane theatre fam - it’s going to be a really Brisbane theatre fam - it’s going to be a really weird couple of days. Hope you and your families are safe and sound, warm and dry, and well stocked with food and books for the next few days. There are a whole host of companies cancelling/postponing productions - familiar from covid times, hopefully this is much shorter than that. Staging a show is a tough gig on a good day, so cancelling shows is a heartbreaker. When we’re all back and safe, support local theatre!! At the Anderson house we are prepped, but I’m feeling a little powerless and a bit anxious, so in some weird kind of protest I’m going to be going with storm-inspired posts for a few days. This is Jonathon Devitt and Claire Argente in a production I loved to bits, When The Rain Stops Falling, back in 2016 at @artstheatre. See you when the rain stops falling 😊
    JEKYLL & HYDE I’m getting stupidly excited to s JEKYLL & HYDE I’m getting stupidly excited to see @swichupproductions’ Jekyll & Hyde, opening Friday with four epic shows over the weekend. This cast is ridiculously talented, the costumes are amazing, I’ve seen some sneaky pics of the set and it looks fantastic… can’t wait! Of course any theatre-goer in SEQ has their mind on the approaching weather - hope for the best, prepare for the worst. Barring legit natural disasters, it is going to be worth grabbing tickets to this one!! #brisbanetheatre #thingstodoinbrisbane #whatsoninbrisbane #imagesbyandersonperformance #imagesbyanderson @nzipp.national #nzippaccreditedphotographer #ppaq #ppaq_official #nzippmaster #aippmaster #iconmaster #cosmosmaster #swppfellow #eizo #eizoapac #eizoambassador #coloredge #visualizedoneizo

    Massive congrats to Micheal Enright on their huge Massive congrats to Micheal Enright on their huge @matildaawards win for Best Performance in a Supporting Role - Independent Production! Fun Home (at @piptheatreau) was one of my fave shows from 2024, and @michealenright_txt (playing college Alison) was a standout. Obviously. “Changing My Major” sat in my head for a long time after the show was done. I assume this photo was also their internal reaction when announced 😆😆 Congrats Micheal!!
    LOVE YOU HATE YOU DRIVE YOU WILD I know you’ve LOVE YOU HATE YOU DRIVE YOU WILD I know you’ve seen lots and lots of @minolatheatre here lately buuuut I couldn’t not share this one, now that it is out and about in the world.

    THE TRUE MIDNIGHT CRY Massive kudos to @minolathe THE TRUE MIDNIGHT CRY Massive kudos to @minolatheatre for the first ever performance of The True Midnight Cry on Tuesday night at @metroarts - featuring playwright extraordinaire @the_rumblebee and my old friend @colinwsmithau, under the watchful eye of @katjaned. I CANNOT WAIT to see this production; working on the photography for this was a roller coaster and an absolute treat. These two are superlative actors and watching them work through the progression of their characters’ emotional journey was so much fun. #brisbanetheatre #thingstodoinbrisbane #whatsoninbrisbane #imagesbyandersonperformance #imagesbyanderson @nzipp.national #nzippaccreditedphotographer #ppaq #ppaq_official #nzippmaster #aippmaster #iconmaster #cosmosmaster #swppfellow #eizo #eizoapac #eizoambassador #coloredge #visualizedoneizo
