The opening night crowd at Covers - photos by Patrick Stevenson

I was quite overwhelmed and touched by the support for Cybele and my photo show Covers opening night on Thursday.

Our thirsty guests smashed through 15 cases of beer and 12 bottles of wine in just the first hour. We sold a bunch of pictures and made some money for Oasis.

Now the first night is over the show continues. The covers will be at Mart Gallery until 20th February. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday 12-5pm.

The show and opening night wouldn’t have gone so well without the help of the following people. So HUGE THANKS to:

Mel at Mart Gallery
Everyone who’s come along to the show, and especially those who bought prints
Becks for providing the booze
Liv and Mimi for serving all that booze
Patrick Stevenson for taking the opening night photos
Cybele for being amazing and the star of the show
Justin for all his expertise prepping and hanging the work
All the media for helping spread the word about the show

We enjoyed great support from:

Thank you.

Sydney Festival 2010

Summer Sounds in the Domain

I love Sydney in January. There’s that post-holiday glow that still remains, the exceptional beach weather (between torrential downpours), and then there’s the festivals and gigs.

The Manganiyar Seduction

One of the great pleasures of my job is getting to photograph those festivals, the biggest and most diverse of which is Sydney Festival. I love it because i see things i wouldn’t normally. Like a German language performance of Hamlet, a dance work with puppets or 40 odd Rajasthani musicians performing in stacked up red boxes.

Here’s some of the photos i took for Time Out Sydney.

Covers – a photo show

Daniel Boud — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:56:16 +0000

Cybele Malinowksi and I are having a photo show at Mart Gallery in Surry Hills (156 Commonwealth St) starting this Friday 12-5pm and continues for 2 weeks.

The show comprises 24 music magazine covers that feature our photos, including Drum Media, The Brag, Time Out Sydney, jmag and Mess and Noise.

Artists who feature in the photos include bluejuice, Ladyhawke, Philadelphia Grand Jury, The Presets, INXS, Pnau, Paul Dempsey and more.

Before the show, Cybele and i were racking our brains thinking of what to show. It was on open brief – it just had have something to do with music and art.

We toyed with the idea of creating new work, but found it hard to agree on anything, nor did we have time to put any grand schemes into action.

We decided to exhibit our catalogue of music magazine covers. Most of the music stuff we shoot these days is commissioned work – portraits of bands for publicity and editorial use. So it made sense for us to show the photos in the mode they were intended, which is usually for the covers of magazines. Plus Covers was a cool title with music connotations.

I’ve always been a consumer and aficionado of the music press, so the show is a celebration of them too. We all love the internet – but for me, music is forever entwined with magazines and photography. It’s where my love of music photography was borne – as a teenager pouring over music magazines, ripping off their covers to stick on my bedroom wall and cut out photos of my favourite bands for my school books.

It’s quite a thrill to be able to show some magazine covers that we photographed ourselves.

Cybele and i have been doing a bit of spruiking in the lead up to the show, with stories in the street press (shame old-media doesn’t put that stuff online), a feature in Pedestrian, a recommendation from Time Out and an interview in Side Street Sydney.

The pictures will be for sale, with all profit going to Oasis Youth Support Network.

There’s a Facebook event with all the info too.

Hope you can make it.

Florence and the Machine

Here’s my snaps from the Laneway Festival on the weekend. It was pretty exceptional; a fantastic line-up, a well mannered and good looking crowd, and a new more spacious venue in an ex-mental asylum.

Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother

Having photographed Wolfmother countless times onstage it was nice to get the opportunity to photograph frontman Andrew Stockdale face to face.

Andrew Stockdale at Jackson's Rare Guitars

It was for a feature in Time Out Sydney on various Modular artists.

Andrew said this was a move Jack Ladder and Kirin Callinan would do on tour to psyche themselves up before going onstage

The shots on white were taken at my place with an idea for a composite cover with other artists. That didn’t end up working out.

After doing the studio shots we wandered round the corner to Jackson’s Rare Guitars for a few photos with some vintage guitars and amps.

And finally, here’s Cybele rocking out before Andrew arrived.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Empire of the Sun photos

Daniel Boud — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 07:04:31 +0000

During the filming of Empire of the Sun’s video for Without You i took a few snaps of (Emperor) Luke Steele.

In the tradition of their previous publicity shots, they went through the Debaser illustration process to come out in this fantasy fashion.

One of the shots also made the single artwork cover.

Here’s the video, directed by Josh Logue from Mathematics.

Crossing paths with the Sartorialist

Tiffany, photographed for Time Out in Paddington

Since issue 1 of Time Out Sydney there’s been a street style feature that i’ve photographed called Word on the Street.

It’s a pretty unashamed ‘homage’ to The Sartorialist.

We flagged down this dapper gent in Newtown

Ran into Jonathan Zawada in the Rocks

This week i noticed that we’ve finally crossed paths on our subjects, a girl named Tiffany who i photographed in Paddington in November and was published in our December issue. The Sartorialist snapped her in Bondi and posted it last week.

The homage comes full circle. Annoyingly i think he got the better photo. She does have an arresting look.

The recent photo was the first time the same person has appeared in both Time Out and The Sartorialist, but it’s not the first time we’ve snapped the same subject.

In October the Sartorialistposted a photo of my friend Jeff in New York, who i’d previously snapped in some test shots for a Paul Dempsey shoot he assisted with.

2008 Miss Pole Dance Australia Winner Felix Cane

Back in October i took some pictures at Miss Pole Dance Australia 2010 at the Enmore Theatre.

I spent most of my time backstage.

Felix Cane warms up backstage. She is ridiculously flexible.

While i’m at it, here’s some photos from last year’s competition.
