Carbie Warbie Plus
Based in Melbourne, carbiewarbie concert photography offer the best music photography in this glorious land of OZSTRALIYAH m8. :)
Let me introduce myself. All my friends just calls me "Carbie" as in carburettor. I have had photographs published in Rolling Stone, J-Mag, The Age, Sydney Morning-Herald, numerous street press publications (Beat & Inpress, etc), as well as an array of music websites from Mess+Noise, TheDwarf.com.au, FasterLouder, etc. I only started officially late last year (2008) but I have been into aussie music and photography since my teens. I feel really fortunate to be able to mix my two true loves and photograph Australian and International artists on stage. I am truly passionate about it BUT I'm not your average rock'n'roll photographer.
In the past I ran a successful computer business for over ten years. My knowledge of computer software and hardware is of an extremely high calibre. I have even provided training in a variety of software packages including Adobe Photoshop. I just don't point and shoot a photo and pop it up on the internet. I will take the photo and I will spend sometimes up to 1-3 hours post processing one shot, applying a variety of professional filters, reducing noise, applying masks, tweaking colours and so forth using an arsenal of different software applications. I will post-process until I am satisfied that I can represent that photograph to meet my very strict personal standards.
The reason I do this is quite simple. There is no need to be here taking photographs, if all I am doing is the "same shovel, different pile". I want my pile of photos to be unique and stand out from the crowd. I am always after the dynamic "WOW" shot! Anybody can take a happy snap with a camera but with better composition, special effects and some tweaks, I love to present every photograph in the best possible light (pun intended). A good friend once told me, "HEY! You really 'Carbiefied' that photo!" I must be doing something right, as the feedback from fellow music fans and directly from artists, promoters and managers has been so overwhelmingly positive. So please check out my "Carbiefied" photos and if you see me at gig, say "HEY CARBIE!". :)
