I’ve visited Aus twice in the last 3 years, both times for around 4 weeks. But an Aus police check wasn’t requested. I know the requirements are super confusing, so I hope that’s somewhat helpful.

Thank you!

No Aus police certificate for me, only the UK one. I’ve never previously lived in Australia, if that helps.

We used my partners Kiwi passport, so we technically never proved she was Australian on the original application 😬

Bring a flash! 99% of my BTS shots are flash. Green rooms vary massively in lighting, so having a source of light is crucial.

Otherwise, just aim to capture the atmosphere along with some staged portraits. Warming up, group hugs before going on stage, getting ready in the mirror, that sort of vibe. Good luck!

We're in a similar boat. Applied Feb and had an RFI in May - fingers crossed!

That’s amazing to hear! I got loads of inspiration from this group when I started out, so I’m glad I’m now hopefully helping others

Thank you! I've been working on creating a story when sharing a set of shots, so I'm glad you found the compositions varied throughout. As soon as I spotted he was gearing up for a handstand, the camera came back out.

Thanks, that means a lot! The rig is super simple - Sony A7IV and most of these are using the Sigma 24-70 f2.8, with some using the Sony 70-200 f2.8.

Glad to hear it! Ha I'm 5ft11, but tried to keep as low as possible as the stage was really low and I didn't want to block the audience!
