Jay Hynes, Portraits (Portrait)

1. This is from my Backstage at CherryRock015 exhibition in AC/DC Lane, Melbourne. This is Matt, the lead singer of New Zealand band, Beastwars. This was shot backstage immediately after Matt left the stage. 2. This is my friends son, Albert. He is three years old. 3. Brian works at a winery in Victoria. I met him during a commercial shoot at the winery. Turns out Brian has done some work in front of the camera before in print and television. 4. Frankie moved to Melbourne from China about 3 years ago. He found a Barber shop for sale in the small country town of Kerang and decided to buy it. He is now the local barber and plays AFL for the Wandella Bombers. 5. This is my Dad, Paddy. He was the inspiration and the first shot in my Men In White portrait series. The series celebrated men with full heads of white hair. 6. This is part of a personal portrait series that I shot at the Soundwave Festival. One of the stages was inside a large barn-like shed. The temperature inside would have been well over 40 degrees. I noticed that people were streaming out of the mosh pit soaked in sweat and decided to photograph them against the white brick wall inside the shed.
