About
I'm a photographer based in Brisbane Australia. I have ten years experience shooting everything from small punk shows, through to massive festivals. I have covered Splendour in The Grass nine times, shot ten Big Day Out festivals, and five Livid festivals in addition to Laneway, Soundwave, V Festival, the list goes on...
I shoot regularly for Timeoff, Rolling Stone Australia, and Jmag. My work has also been published in NME, Pitchfork, SPIN, The Australian, Alternative Press, Drum Media, The Courier Mail, Inpress, Mojo, Uncut, and others.
I also produce publicity shots and shoot events for bands and labels. Clients include, EMI, Sony, Capitol Records, Shock Records, Secret Service, Dew Process, +1 Records and many more. Bands include The Go-Betweens, The Gin Club, An Horse, Screamfeeder, Powderfinger, Drag, Magic Dirt,The Polyphonic Spree, Robert Forster, Texas Tea, Intercooler, The Boat People, Mary Trembles, Seja, We All Want To, The Giants of Science, and Violent Soho.
This site serves as a central web presence for my music photography, there's a lot more of my work to be seen at my flickr page, it's usually pretty up to date:

My old site, which has been around for ever has been archived here: archive.sbphoto.com.au it has work from 1998-2006, I'm not going to update it anymore, but wanted to keep it around, it has both historical interest, and some hilarious HTML.

If you would like to use a photo on this site, or on my flickr site please contact me first. If you have a show or event you would like documented please get in touch..

Hello, my name is Harry Engels and I’m a student photographer. I saw on your website that you have photographed V Festival before and I was wondering how to get a press pass and how easy they are to get? Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks. Harry

Hey Harry, I work for a music mag http://www.timeoff.com.au and will usually get a pass sorted out through them, really hard, almost impossible to get a pass without being linked to some kind of publication.. good luck!
