Party For Poverty

Last week I was asked by a mate of mine, Chris, whether I wouldn't mind photographing an event that he'd organised, the Party For Poverty, to raise money for Oxfam. He had the venue, musical acts, everything organised, but no one to photograph it, and of course I was excited to be photograph the event.

The venue was the really awesome La Strada in Darlinghurst and was beautifully dimly lit...unfortunately that also mean that I couldn't photograph a lot of it without flashing the ever loving life out of people. My saviour was the videographer Koji, who had a video-light attached to his camera. I made sure to use his light as much as I could and try not to have too many Deer-In-Headlights looks.

It was an amazing night, Chris did an absolutely fantastic job organising it all and I'm hoping that whenever he needs a photographer, he knows he can call me! It was so much fun to photograph.

Below are some photos of the Sleepyheads, a fun, fantastic Sydney-based band that is filled with the loveliest people who absolutely love what they do.
