Further Earth

Further Earth was suppose to be the first ever band I was to do promotional photos for. A year later I finally got given the opportunity when my pal Ryan got his shit together and organised something! These guys are a local Perth act and I very much hope they go on to do bigger and better things. I love their sound!

The Getaway Plan

Had the pleasure of working with The Getaway Plan when they toured to Perth to open up for Say Anything. The Getaway Plan are probably one of my favorite Australian bands so it is always a pleasure going to watch them let alone take their picture.

Crooked Colours

Following my friends at Sun City needing new press release photos for ParkLife 2012 my new friends Crooked Colours who also made the announcement needed their first batch of promotional photos. Something a little more vibrant and simple. Candid is always best I find when doing these sort of portraits.

Sun City

Good friends Tobes and Daniel which make the band Sun City have just been announced again by ParkLife 2012 so I had to make some fresh press kit photos for them. We went for something a little less serious this time round.

Anti-Flag

Anti-Flag's management emailed me on the announcement of their tour a few months back in regards to organising a photo shoot with them. Being a pretty big fan of Anti-Flag I was extremely blown back to be given this opportunity.

Dream On, Dreamer

My friends Still Water Claims were opening up for Melbourne post-hardcore band Dream On Dreamer last friday night so 'D.O.D's management took it upon the opportunity to do some promotional photos with me in Fremantle. Top quality guys.

Sick Of It All

Have been fairly busy with a lot of work recently as well as trying to stay on top of study so posting on this blog has become a bit infrequent but good news is next week is the last week of Uni for the Semester so will be blogging a tonne more. I recently did a promotional photo for New York hardcore band Sick Of It All. Had to shoot within the venue with a 5 minute time frame.

10 Past 6

Been getting a lot of work recently with my photography which means I haven't been getting much time to be updating this blog as I would of liked. I have now directed my domain 'www.maxfairclough.com' to my portfolio and this blog now has it's seperate domain as 'www.maxfaircloughblog.com'. Below is one of the photos taken of a Perth band called 10 Past 6. Really love these guys and they're great to have a laugh with. Shit got sticky.

Deez Nuts

Had been discussing with Tour and Artist managers from WeAreUnified for about two months to organise this shoot. Both parties seemed pretty keen on having me photograph their band so on Saturday we were finally able to nail down some promotional photos. JJ and the boys from Deez Nuts are pretty down to earth dudes. I was invited to dinner as well as party backstage with them at their show.

Winterfold

I have been wanting to use flares in one of my photo shoots for months now and have finally found a band that was tailored correctly for it. Fortunately they were quite happy with my idea and went along with it. I am still yet to edit these photos but you can see how cool these are going to come out. A special mention goes to the indigenous man who attacked us for standing on his land.

The Loved Dead

This past month my good friend Anthony Jackson (Birds of Tokyo) and myself have been planning this shoot. After countless days of creative thoughts we were able to nail them in yesterday morning when we finally got round to taking the picture. An early 4am wake up call on a Sunday seemed quite ridiculous but it produced the photograph we all wanted.

Reece Mastin

I shot Jessica Mauboy and Reece Mastin at a regional concert for the city of Cockburn. My job for the night was to photograph live and behind the scenes shots. I managed to work out a promotional photo for Reece in his private dresser in the space of about 30 seconds.
