A recent portrait of Nicholas Milton, Conductor of the Canberra Symphony Orchestra.
This shoot was originally going to be in an airport lounge as the concert will take place in an industrial hanger and will include their own unique version of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports, however we were unable to get the right permissions in time. Susan and Wyana flew in from Brisbane and Melbourne that day and we were unable to reschedule the shoot. So at last minute I scoped out a location just out of the Canberra airport. We were not sure if we were going to be told that we could not photograph there but luckily we were fine and go these cool portraits.
This is the second shoot for the Griffyn Ensemble’s 2013 concert Series. This image is for their “Earth” Concert. The tree theme came about to support the world premiere of Griffyn director Michael Sollis’ (pictured below) City of Trees Suite, made up of music written for the Canberra Centenary’s City of Trees.
