The Big Day Out music festival has just rolled through Australia and I was assigned to shoot it for Australian Associated Press (AAP) when it came to Sydney. The temperature reached a furnace like 41 degrees Celsius and festival goers were dropping like flies due to heat exhaustion. Something like 300 people were treated by ambulance staff on the Friday I was covering the festival, and it was the hottest recorded temperature in the festival’s 18 year history. Given just how hot it was out there, I’m surprised more people weren’t hospitalised! The international acts for this year included Muse, Lily Allen, Groove Armada, Peaches and Kasabian and the Aussie acts included Powderfinger, Jet, Bluejuice, Eskimo Joe and heaps of others. With so many bands playing at the same time it’s impossible to even cover half of the acts in one day.

Corey: From a series of portraits of Aussie rappers
Welcome to the new blog! There may still be a few minor tweaks needed, but I think it’s pretty close to the way I want it to work. The way I have wanted a blog to work for some time now, and the number one reason why my posts have been few and far between of late.
To start things off I am posting a collection of random work I have completed recently, starting with two portrait sessions. One with a group of emerging Australian hip hop artists and another with members of the Bulldogs Rugby League team and in particular with the retiring leading point scorer in the game, Hazem El Masri.
This will be the beginning of what I hope to be at the very least, weekly updates.
More shots after the jump. (click for bigger images) Continue reading ‘Some recent portrait work.’
