Have you ever wanted to experience the thrill and excitement of what its like to be a live music photographer?

Live music photography is one of the most difficult yet rewarding types of photography that anyone can attempt. The adrenaline and nerves kick in right before the show, your palms sweat and there are butterflies in your stomach.

The life of a music photographer is hard work, late nights and high energy as you capture moments in time that are fleeting, always striving to get that perfect shot.

Frenetic and Raw, and full of energy. Melbourne’s favorite twins Jack and Pat Pierce began busking in Bourke St Mall before their infectious energy landed them on stages all over the world. 

Australian indie folk rockers Pierce Brothers are bringing their new album Everything Is Bigger Than Me all around Australia in their biggest regional tour since 2019!
Featured in festivals all around the country (including Bluesfest, Big Red Bash, and the Mundi Mundi Bash), off the back of a European tour and armed with a brand new album. 

They are one of the most exciting bands to photograph, raw grungy and full of energy. With Jack being known to jump out into the crowd at any given moment, The Pierce Brothers keep the energy going and don't stop.
