Artists Portraits

Prior to moving to the south western Australian forest I was based in Fremantle documenting visual and performing arts. The following pictures are portraits of artists and musicians in their studios and during rehearsal. Since then I have made snapshots of other photographers - some of these are now included

JOHN BEARD

John Beard won the Australian Archibald Prize for Portraiture 2007 - this reminded me of portraits I made of John Beard in Western Australia in 1988

Lindsay Vickery and Linda Rossen in world premier performance of Bratislavan composer Mical Murin's "Composition with Own Music in Mind".

Mical wrote this piece for performance on a beach, however, before the revolution he was unable to leave Czechoslovakia, so the piece was performed twice for him in Western Australia and performers personal notes and sets of photographs sent to him.
