Earlier this year I was asked to take some promotional shots for a work being created for the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Bottom Line is a work choreographed by my friend Isabelle Beauverd.
Further information on the work, performance dates and venue details can be found if you follow this link :

I will also be sharing the event on my page, so anyone interested can find any information they need.

There are many many photographs and I will also be taking some more stills and footage of the rehearsal process later on, some of the stills will be uploaded here as well.

The dancers involved in the first promotional shoot were: Jonathon Havakis, Benjamin Hurley and Siobhan McKenna.

I realised that half of the shoot I did with Robert earlier in the year, hadn't been uploaded anywhere. Since I had only shown the half that included paint, I've decided to put up a collection of photos from the first half of that shoot.

If anyone is looking for an afternoon of photos, feel free to shoot me a message. And we can work on discussing the logistics of this.

I was invited to tag along to photograph a wonderful piece choreographed by my friend, Jacqueline Aylward. It was my first time photographing anything under stage lights, and it was more of an exploration of my camera's setting than anything else. It was great fun and I'm rather pleased with the results.

The work was performed by, Isabelle Beauvard, Jacqueline Trapp, Morgan Jones, Caitlin Jennings and Chad McLachlan.

Due to some issues with my Photoshop and large issues with my internet this page has been mostly inactive, I'm going to try and fix these problems today and upload a large collection of images on boxing day.
Also I'm looking forward to a photoshoot with another dancer, I'll upload when I can.
