In a month of events that celebrate the city of Brisbane and all it’s offerings… Brisbane Riverfestival, Brisbane City RompBridge to Brisbane and the Valley Fiesta to name a few, Joshua Levi Galleries will be joining in the festivities with their next big showing of Brisbane themed work.  Featuring the colourful works of Kylie Farrelly, appropriately titled The River City, the opening will be accompanied by the sounds of Brisbane band Dan and Dilmah.  As part of the exhibition, I will be showing portraits of inspirational Brisbanites from my recent BNE project!  Joshua Levi himself will also have a range of stunning Brisbane imagery on the walls and in addition, two more of Brisbane’s talented photographers, Darren Tuer and Dustin Osbourne will also be showing their city scapes.  The River City and the photography of Brisbane will be showing at Joshua Levi Galleries from 4th – 30th September.

The Bridge

The Bridge - Australian Idol : Levi Kereama, Ezra Kereama, Michael

Some of you may remember Levi Kereama from Australian Idol, or perhaps the R&B group Lethbridge comprised of him and his brothers.  Earlier this year I shot the promotional photography for their latest reincarnation, The Bridge.  Starting out at Alhambra Lounge in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, we worked the club and headed out to a familiar location where I did the photography for Brisbane Band Dan & Dilmah.  With a perfect sky and beautiful clouds, I couldn’t have been happier with the results.

Designer Fight Club @ the Zoo!

Last night, 12 of Brisbane’s hottest Designers battled it out at Designer Fight Club at the Zoo in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.  After checking out the student competition last month, I was intrigued to see what the “industry professionals” battle would hold.  With a heckling MC, 30 minutes to come up with a design, and some challenging briefs, the night did not disappoint.  My personal favourite of the night came from Corin Edwards, self proclaimed “rock’n'roll librarian”, who incorporated an 8 eyed dinosaur into his design (upon request)… and subsequently won his round!  Congrats to Jess from JosephMark who took out first prize in the event!  Some shots from the night:

Joshua Levi Galleries – Opening at the Old Antique Shop

Last night I attended the opening of Joshua Levi Galleries to help welcome Brisbane’s freshest new gallery to the art community. The gallery space has undergone an amazing makeover. What was once an old antique shop, is now one of Brisbane’s most unique exhibiting spaces. In-house canvas printing and framing, studio space, limited edition prints, and original artworks are a just a few of the many things that makes Joshua Levi Galleries one of the most attractive exhibiting spaces for artitsts and photographers. The night showcased some amazing work from artists such as Nic Plowman and Emma Sheldrake… oh and MYSELF! I have some limited edition canvas prints on the walls in the gallery, so head in there and check them out!

Brisbane Powerhouse – PhotosXFour – I would like to thank…

Well, after a short tour around the suburbs of Brisbane, it finally came time to take down the images exhibited in the PhotosXFour exhibition at Brisbane Powerhouse. Thanks so much to all those involved, those that came to the opening night and those that took the time to see the exhibition. After several weeks of moving around town, the images from the series are going be retired for the time being, while I focus on getting my new works started. I will however, have some of my work for sale at the opening of Joshua Levi Galleries, so stay tuned! Special thanks to the other very talented photographers involved, Russell Fleming, Matt Leasegang and James Debenham! Thanks to Ian Henderson from Photo Resources for the quality and care put into the printing, mounting and framing of all the images. Many thanks to Guy for taking shots on the night and thank you so much to all those that generously agreed to be a part of the project, you are the best models ever! Some snaps from the night:

Shooting Raw 2008 Winnings! Photographers’ Award and People’s Choice Award!

Mark Lobo Photography - Shooting Raw 2008

The much anticipated exhibition and judging of the photos from Shooting Raw 2008 was held on Wednesday night. Shooting Raw is a photographic competition I took part in, in which each photographer is given a half hour time slot to shoot 12 frames, with one nude model and an unseen location, (see my previous post for more info). It was great to see the work of all the other photographers and how they worked with what was quite a challenging environment.

To top off the night, I ended up winning the Photographers’ Award and the People’s Choice award for the same photo (above)! The shot won 2 out of the 3 awards presented! The prints will be available for purchase from the Shooting Raw website, with proceeds going to the Queensland Institute of Medical Research. Thanks to Pat, Norm, The Joynt, sponsors and guests!

Shooting Raw 2008
Nothing to Hide

Mark Lobo Photography - Shooting Raw 2008

I was a recent participating photographer in Shooting Raw 2008, a photographic competition in which each photographer has 12 shots to bring an unseen location and a nude model to life.

A bit about the exhibition:

“Shooting Raw is a model photography competition which throws out the traditional environment of the model photographer. We present them with a new environment, a model they’ve never met before with limited tools and very few chances to get the shot right. The emphasis is about thinking on your feet and taking advantage of the environment, being able to see the possibilities of what there is around you, without the ability to create exactly what you’d like. “

To bring a challenge to the competition, only 12 frames were allowed to be shot in a half hour period and the location was provided only just before the event. More rules here. This year, the shoot was held in Austinville on the Gold Coast.
Photos from the competition will be exhibited and judged at The JoYnt in South Brisbane on April 9th, 2008.

Please come check out the results!
