Highlights of Meredith and Golden Plains Music Festivals

Golden Plains Music Festival 2011 is quickly approaching, celebrating it's 5th Birthday this year with Joanna Newsom, The Hold Steady, Belle & Sebastian, Wavves and Best Coast among others.

In December last year GP's bigger sister, The Meredith Music Festival celebrated her 20th Birthday. What a better time to reflect back on my favorite photographic moments captured in the famous "supernatural" amphitheatre.

I have been one of the official photographers for Meredith 2005-2007 & Golden Plains 2007-present. During this time I have had so many highlights seen on and off the stage. Here are some of my favorite photographs from my 7 years documenting all the happenings and adventures had in the special town of Meredith.

Weekly Inspiration

Andrew W.K for Spook Magazine

I had the best day yesterday. Shooting musicians and artists is sometimes incredibly stressful and painful because their lovely healthy egos and insecurities can get in the way of a collaboration. Yesterday we shot Andrew W.K. It was a pleasure and so easy to work with someone who is still so inspired and gives his all.. Just as he does in his live show.

Here are some behind the scenes shots... The final images will be in Spook Magazine soon.

Thanks to the genius that is Esther & Tunnie for building an incredible set, Holy-Rose Butler for Hair & Make-Up, everyone at Spook Mag and especially Andrew W.K.
