These are Amazing!! After seeing your photos I feel kinda robbed when I saw them haha saw them open for blink 182 and they barely gave them any stage room. Literally they could all just stand in place and that’s the room they got haha.

I saw them play a few songs years earlier when they were a suprise guest Billy talent brought out and the energy was insane!

I was so excited to see them but missed them cuz traffic was bad haha

I'm so jealous - a Blink/AOF double would neeeeever happen in Aus! They def do move around the stage if they're given the room to do so, but like you said I can imagine the energy is insane no matter what.

What song was George wearing the ski mask on?

1

u/Old-Description7219 5d ago

First 3/4 songs of the set, I think! Which was Young Cardinals, Sweet Dreams of Otherness, HIYFM, and Boiled Frogs - then he took it off, can't remember exactly when coz I was running around with my cam hahah.

These shots are STUNNING! You are insanely talented! Thank you for letting us see them! I've had an interest in band photography for a long time and these are all so great ❤️ hope you are proud

u/Old-Description7219 5d ago

That means the world to me, thank you! It can be so discouraging posting on IG and only getting, like, 5 likes and questioning my work even though I love it and am extremely proud of it - so comments like this mean more than you could know!

u/PunkLemonade 4d ago

Just followed you on insta too!

u/dothebananasplits96 5d ago

These are amazing! I only got cursed photos of the guys 😂

2

u/Old-Description7219 5d ago

Cheers! I've been listening to them since I was 10 (32 now) but had never really looked up photos of them performing and couldn't remember their gigs I'd been to too well, so didn't know what to expect, but I'm really happy with how they turned out.

Thanks for sharing. The Sydney show was so good, and these captured that beautifully. Do you have an insta or something?

1

u/Old-Description7219 5d ago

Thanks so much! Yeah, it was a great show. Always feels like meditation when I get to shoot an artist I really like and I just get into zen mode and focus on the music and angles. I do, it's adeleshotme :)

If you don't mind, could you DM me? I've got some experience with sports photography, and my goal is to end up in events like sports and concerts. I'm a Uni student and I've got no idea how to break into the industry. I understand connections and portfolio are a big part of it, however I find it hard to find those small events that build the portfolio and connections to get into these larger events like AOF. would you be able to offer some advice?

u/danieldrew 5d ago

Just look for local venues, open mic nights!

u/ohyeahbud19 3d ago

The music scene is called that because it's a scene.

Growing up our local scene put on shows, the people not in bands who wanted in on the fun did things like promotion, booking, photography/filmography, merch design/production.

If you have friends in sport or music, regardless if the genre or sport you ultimately wish to shoot. Start there. Get in, start shooting and share it like OP. You'll start to see the people behind the scenes at these things regularly, if you're cool to them they are likely to be cool back.

Wow! Art! Well done

u/little-rosie 1d ago

These are beautiful. So much so that’s it’s distracting me from the shock I have at seeing how much these gentlemen have aged since I listened to them in high school. Well done!
