Who are you?
Hi, I'm Brittney. A live music photographer based in Melbourne / Naarm.
I have been a freelance photographer since 2012 and have been shooting live music since early 2022, my partner joined a band and the best way to support him was to document it. After a few months I was suddenly spending every weekend at shows, coming from a lifetime of, well couch... it was exhausting but worth every minute. Jumping on board with Outsiders Journal by early 2023 and since then I have been smashing out a slew of shows. Coming from a background of portraits, my style is dark and gritty with a focus on intimate and connected captures.
I don't have any mind-blowing or groundbreaking reasons for why you should listen to me; I'm not the best or most experienced live music photographer, but I have learned a lot from shooting over 250 shows, from dive bars to arenas. I love sharing any knowledge or insight I have, and don't believe in gatekeeping.
I hope that by sharing my experience and insights into how I approach shooting, editing, and everything else that comes with being a live music photographer, you can learn something new.
