Liam Gallagher
I photographed Liam Gallagher for the first time at Falls Festival, Lorne 2018. I traded tools with my friend Claudia, we both were working together on the festival's photo team. She borrowed one of my cameras and I got to use her Hasselblad 500c/m. When Claudia returned my camera, she accidentally pulled the film dark slide out and exposed the roll I had shot earlier of Liam Gallagher. Cheers for the creative collaboration with that light leak, Claudia.

Flight To Dubai
I shot and created the artistic concept for Flight To Dubai’s 2020 album ‘Strife’ with my brother Beau Hardy (designer/bass guitarist of Flight To Dubai). We both started to generate ideas and situations based around being in strife. This series shows the creation of the cover art from an idea, to a drawing of how I envisioned the photograph, to a test polaroid on the day before committing to shoot the cover art on film. We’ve been wanting to create something for Flight To Dubai with a film process and to use a 6x6 square format for an album cover art felt right for this. Beau created the design assets for the album’s vinyl packaging, label stickers and inserts. This series includes photos from the cover art photoshoot as well as images documenting the band’s time recording at Golden Retriever Studios, Marrickville 2019.

The Naked And Famous on 14th March at Wine Machine, Hunter Valley 2020. At this time Australia announced travel restrictions and soon we went into lockdown, this was my last photoshoot before this all happened.

One the photos were used as single artwork for their triple j Like A Version of “Blinding Lights”, originally by The Weekend.
