I’m still on an adrenaline rush after photographing INXS this afternoon. I got an email out of the blue on Monday from the editor of Inpress in Melbourne asking if i could shoot INXS on Friday for their cover. Er.. yes. I don’t know who put him onto me, but i think it was someone who reads this site, so thankyou mystery person.
I’ve been stressing about it all week, but it’s finally over and i’m happy with the results. I had 45 minutes with them at The Sheraton in the city and wrapped up about 15 minutes early. I had the best collaboration and assistance in the business from Cybele and her trusty lighting from Blue Murder Studios.
Unfortunately i can’t post the shots here till Inpress run them, which won’t be till July. Stay tuned.
First SPIN mag, now this! As Kramer would say.. “giiiiiiiidyup!”
OMG!!!! I had the hugest crush on Jon Farriss in high school. I thought he was such a spunk.
That is massive Dan. MASSIVE. Congrats to you.
WOW. Congrats, Dan.
OH.
MY.
GOD.
if you get bono, i will lay down in the street and die.
so come on tell us, is that Canuck trying to be Michael or what?
WOW! That’s awesome Dan! Congratulations!
that’s fantastic! had to jump from behind the lurking curtain to send my congrats.
YAY YOU!
yep, this is enough to de-lurk me too 🙂
congratulations! what an amazing job.
aaah. *sigh*
if only you got to photograph Michael H.
(probably not the appropriate forum to start the old ‘is it really INXS without Michael H?’, is it?)
Yet again…Congratulations!
You photograph Rockstars in Studio.
I photograph Tennis Balls in Studio.
Hmm…I’d like to swap.
(having said that, I don’t think I’ve ever photographed a tennis ball so well)
congrats boudist!! first spin, now this! we want insider goss on INXS, just kidding….
actually, i’m not. how were they? what was J.D like?
I might just get ur autograph next time i bump into you 🙂
Thanks folks. They were all super cool, polite and professional. And JD was just the injection of brash young cheekiness they needed. I brought along champagne to use as a prop and he proceeded to pop it open and spray it everywhere, he then took some swigs and spat it towards me. All great material for photos.
Just knew it was the start of big things. Congrats Dan, that’s just awesome!

Paging Clem. Paging Clem.
Our girl works there in an editorial capacity.
Dan, you ARE the man!
WOW, Can’t wait to see the pics.
I am a huge fan of INXS, and an even bigger fan since they got a new lead singer. J.D and Jon are cuties, and my friend met J.D and said he was a really sweet guy. You’re so lucky to have gotten to photograph them!!
