Here’s some photos of Rage Against The Machine at the Big Day Out on Friday. So good. Even if they do inspire such ugly macho aggression in the crowd. It was quite an ordeal trying to leave the arena and dodging the fist fights.
Lots more photos to come from the Big Day Out and various side shows this week.
hey.. i met u in the morning.. i was the asian guy who called out ur name… man continually i am amazed by your photos!!! i am planning to smuggle an slr into laneway and getting some photos!! haha hopefully i can be where ua re oneday
Awesome shots Dan. RATM do a great job at raising awareness about injustice etc in regard to people who have genuinely been shit on through the course of history…how people who just bought $120 concert tickets and a truckload of piss think they can relate to that cracks me up. Unfortunately it’s not an offence to be a wanker. That said…get any fist fight photos?
Hey, I’m trying to get into music photography at the moment. Can I ask how you get special acess to the gigs you go to/
Andy – you need to be shooting for a publication of some sort. At festivals for example you’ll find photographers shooting for the various newspapers, music magazines, street press and some websites. There’s also photographers shooting for photo agencies like Getty.
So my advice is to start trying to get photo work shooting for websites like Faster Louder or your local music street press.
The first shot of Zack is very intense. Love it.
Much better to shoot than Tool last year I’d imagine…
You know how badly I want those Morello shots Dan.
Great job!
hey Dan
just wanted to leave a quick comment. Having been reading your blog since it started I don’t comment much nowadays due to the advent of RSS readers and not enough time to email. That doesn’t mean I’m not still looking and I am still amazed by each new post. You keep getting better and I’m incredibly proud!
keep on keeping on brother man!
