Violent Soho – 24th July 2010 – The Zoo

Stephen — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:24:24 +0000

Violent Soho played their first hometown gig since returning from a 100 or so shows around the US over the last year. Supports were The Seizures, Butcher Birds and Scul Hazzards. It was a sensational concert, energetic, loud and super fun to shoot as always, the band sounded huge.

Violent Soho play Splendour in the Grass next Friday at 1 pm, and then head off for another bunch of US shows through August and September. Go see them if you can!

Well the exhibition is all over, it's been such a great experience, I've learned so much over the six months leading up to the show. Sales were way beyond my expectations, thanks so much to everyone who bought a picture, I can do another show now!

Huge thanks to The Brisbane Powerhouse for presenting the exhibition, extra thanks to Jody Haines, the BPH Visual Arts Coordinator, who was awesome to work with. Thanks to Streets for the printing, and to Hayden Andrews at Brendale Custom Framing, for doing such a quality job on the frames.

Big thanks to Jo, Craig and Kate for help and hints on PR/ Marketing, and to Aaron Sammut for his brilliant poster design.

Thanks so much to Sil, Justin, Kel, Alex, Laila, Vanessa and Kate for their help and input editing the final 500 photos down to 50, that would have been impossible on my own...

Thanks to Timeoff for their support over the years, and the opportunity to shoot so many amazing shows, and thanks to The Courier Mail, Jmag, Whothehell, 4000, Our Brisbane, and everyone else who gave the show some press.

Thanks finally to everyone who took the time to check out the exhibition, I really appreciate it, it's been great to see people enjoying the work.

There are still photos left over of course, if you're interested just let me know? I'd love for them all to find a home. There's a gallery below of all the photos in the show, just email me here if one catches your eye? Thanks!

Rock and Roll – The Poster

Here's the poster for my upcoming exhibition at The Brisbane Powerhouse, designed by the super talented Aaron Sammut. Thanks Aaron! If anyone would large a large printable version just email me and I'll send you the file. In the meantime click this to see a much bigger version.

The Exhibition opens on Tuesday the 2nd of March, from 6-9pm and runs until April the 5th 2010. It features my 50 favourite photos from 15 years of music photography. The framed prints will be for sale, I'm still working out the price, but they will be affordable. There are 50 large 30x20 inch prints on heavy photo paper, really classy black frames with white matte. They look really great, if I do say so myself..

I'm updating this pretty frequently, and you can see some info on the show at The Brisbane Powerhouse site here.

See you there!
