Drum is out now on the streets of Sydney with the shot above on the cover.
Here’s a few more photos from the session.
I quite like this one as they all look happy and relaxed. Like old mates. The lighting’s a bit iffy, but we only had a very short time to set up and the band arrived about half an hour early. Excuses excuses.
I brought along a bottle of champagne as a prop, and it worked a treat. JD revelled in shaking it up, spraying it everywhere, drinking from the bottle and spitting the champagne toward me. He’s got that cheeky rockstar behaviour down pat.
The folks at The Sheraton weren’t impressed and came over to tell us to take it easy. I think the wad of notes JD slipped them after the shoot placated them somewhat.
I can see why they went with that certain pic for the cover. Was this shot with a new lense? 17mm? Great work mate.
When i shot this i didn’t own a wide-angle lens, except the kit lens.
I hired the Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L lens for the day.
These are great and I love those champagne shots 🙂
Looks good, also I found this site last week so I am having trouble fitting my head through the door at the moment:

the champagne really did add the perfect touch. didnt it
Since when does a band turn up early for anything?
Crazy!
well done dan, its lovely seeing them all smiling and animated
the cover shot is a kicker – el schmick composition
That’s not INXS.
I’ve been waiting (impatiently) since April to see these shots. Great job! I love them! And it is indeed INXS Tallulah. Give JD a chance. It’s not the band’s fault Michael died…they have every right to continue to make their fans and themselves happy.
I love the pics – you did a great job! You definatley have talent!
I love these pictures!! I think that they represent the band really well!!! You can tell that they are having a great time!! I think that JD is perfect for the band!! You can tell that they really like the guy!! AWESOME PICTURES!!! JD seems like a type of person that can make a person laugh no matter what the situation may be!! GOOD JOB WITH THE PICS THEY ROCK!!
Love the pictures. They really illustrate the band’s sense of humor and fun. Besides they all look so effin cute!
Gotta love that Jonnie.
