For a beaut Father’s Day gift, we took my folks along to indigenous singer/songwriter Frank Yamma’s live show as part of this years Brisbane Festival. For those not familiar with Frank’s music, his heartfelt storytelling combines brutally honest tales of alcohol abuse, cultural degradation, respect and country. Regarded as one of Australia’s most important indigenous songwriters, Frank’s recent album Countryman received five star reviews. The following photographs I shot on the night. Thanks Frank for a great evening! Find out more about Frank’s music here.

Saturday evening was the opening night of the Brisbane Festival which coincided with the spectacular fireworks display of the ‘Sunsuper Riverfire’.

I was fortunate enough to work as the official photographer for the Sunsuper Riverfire VIP Dream Party on Eagle Street Pier, one of the best seats in the house for the evenings event. Along with portrait photographs of the many guests I was also fortunate enough to get some frames of the synchronised pyrotechnics that lit up our CBD.

To see my photographs from the evening, head on over to the official Sunsuper Riverfire Facebook page.

A big thanks goes out to my wife Céline for being my assistant and getting the images uploaded to the official Facebook page via our iPad as the night went on. I Couldn’t have done it without you.

My kit for the evenings event – the trusty Canon 5D MKII & Metz 45 CL-4.
