I need to select a few of my gig photos to enter in Billboard & PDN’s music photography competition.

Here is my flickr, and here is my website.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to which ones I should pick? I’d love some input. It costs $15 to enter a photo in the amateur section, or $20 for a series of six photos with a theme. (Apparently, to count as a profressional, 50% of your income must come from photo sales. Ahahaha I WISH)

Autumn de Wilde is one of the judges, oh my god.

I think all the ones in the ‘explore’ set are fabulous, except the open mouth one on the end, I don’t like so much. My favorite from that group is the one with the arm and microphone. It’s hard to pick from your portfolio because so many are totally gorgeous, but a few I really like are: this one, this one, and this one.

I don’t know how you do it, but the way you take shots that look like perfect moments of stillness is really incredible and makes your stuff stand out from other people’s. And of course the way you capture colors is like wow!

Not sure I’d put this one in the contest, but I also really like this photograph, probably mostly just because I have such a hearty fondness for sincerely happy-looking boys.

Also, I didn’t look through your entire flickr so might have overlooked them, but do you have any pics of Dirty Three (or specifically Warren Ellis, of course)?

Firstly: thank you for your help, darling. And your compliments, too, gosh.

And secondly, re: Dirty Three: I’ve never photographed them, no, sorry! Perhaps one day.
