What is your name?
Steven Rhall.
I’m hosting @wearephotograpy this week as part of various Australian rotation curation twitter accounts participating in NAIDOC week. I am one of the Indigenous Australians twitter users taking part.


NAIDOC is an acronym for (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week. More information is available here http://www.naidoc.org.au and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAIDOC_Week

What sort of photography do you do?
All sorts of photography and in fact, try not to be limited by the definition of what is, or what might be photography. Were these boundaries might fall interests me.

In recent years a commercial practice developed from photographing bands. Learning the craft via commercial programs at Uni, helped further develop this but my own personal practice has came through as something that seems more sustainable and worthwhile concerning a passion for photography. Photography, or more broadly Photomedia, is the basis or vehicle for exploring and/or expressing ideas at the moment.

How long have you been shooting?
About 15 years or so.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, any thing you really love to work with)
Probably my Crumpler Back Pack. I’ve had it for almost 10 years and it’s carried me and my gear many miles without falling apart. I like how it can be rearranged to suit a variety of gear and doesn’t look so much like a camera bag.

Various things peak my interest in the photographic world, but I love street photography.

I have had a camera attached to me since 2008, and haven't put it down since.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, any thing you really love to work with)
It would have to be my Fuji X-E1, I take it everywhere I go. It’s a small camera that packs a punch and it gets compliments like “nice film camera, dude”

Week 24 - Lucy

What is your name?
Lucy Shires.

What sort of photography do you do?
A mixture of abstract and urban exploration. 

How long have you been shooting?
I got my first DSLR in the summer of 2010 after I saw some pictures of my son taken by a family member, I fell in love with the blurry background and sharpness of the portrait. In October 2010, I moved away from family snaps and now I'm on this amazing photographic journey :-)

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
My kit is very simple, it consists of a D3 and a 50mm 1.4, carried in a KATA 465 bag. I have been on the journey of having lenses for every eventuality, it makes your bag heavy and tripods suck! So all my gear is my favourite :-)
