Big Day Out 2011 portraits

Here's some photos from the backstage studio i had at Sydney's Big Day Out for Fasterlouder.

Like the set up at Splendour in the Grass, we had broad theme and some props to go along with it.

We had a table or carnival/circus type props for the artists to choose from as they entered. Some chose to go with it, some weren't into props.

Andrew WK was one of the most fun to photograph. Such a nice guy and willing to do anything for a good photo.

Although i wasn't planning on it when i took the photos, while i was editing i thought it would be fun to combine some of his photos into one frame.

The only person who gave Andrew WK a run for his money in the jumping stakes was Joel from Airbourne with this herculean effort.

I thought John Butler might be a bit too serious to play up for the camera but he didn't hesitate to don a tutu and play the strongman.

You can see more in the FasterLouder Big Day Out studio gallery.
