A Bit Of Inspiration Of My Own

Posted on November 10, 2011 by darren

I’ve always been a pretty inquisitive sort of person; keen to learn and better my lot in life. So over the past weeks I’ve been interviewing a great mix of insightful, creative, inspirational and  interesting people about the art of photography. Not just the process of pushing the shutter but the art of successfully combining photography and business – how to better market yourself and your work, how to start a business and keep it running and of course what makes some of our top photographers tick. I’ve loved it because it’s all information that I crave and I hope …

Kill City – The Players

Posted on October 8, 2011 by darren

I say ‘try’ because the images measured almost a metre square so you don’t quite get the same effect here.

It will more than likely appear in the September edition of AWW but keep a look out for later publications as well just in case.

A Bit Of Radio

Posted on August 2, 2010 by darren

It’s been a while since my last post so I thought I’d share a recent Conversation Hour podcast from Jon Faine’s program on ABC Radio. I was the co-host and one of the guests was author Russell Robinson who’s written Shotgun and Standover; a great tale of Melbourne’s painter and dockers war. I photographed a few of the characters in his book for my Kill City – The Players exhibition and a lot of the people who’ve worked on the docks are names you’ve heard mentioned in the current-day underworld war. The second guest was Richard Bryant; a psychologist who’s …
