Created in a flash by AMELIA BALL
After chatting to the musician and crew, the Cave fan was soon photographing the band on tour. Taking snaps on small tours soon led to work on The Big Day Out music festival. This opened more doors into the celebrity world and he was soon well established. Since then, the Strathfield resident has visited 68 countries and has worked with some of the entertainment industry's finest artists. But after a while, he said he needed a challenge. "I've met so many celebrities that you get all these portraits, but you have to find some way to move personally beyond that," he said. "[ The celebrity thing] doesn't really mean that much to me because it makes it very hard to keep an interest if you are not moving on with your skills." Kelly, now teaching at St Patrick's College in Strathfield, has created a best selling book. More recently, he was awrded the Bundanon Trust atist residency based on his recent exhibition of abstract photography. He will undertake a one month residency at Arthur Boyd's famous property on the Shoalhaven River. Kelly plans to create site-specific work while there next January. He said that he would be photographing the area at night using colour gels over the flash guns to create effects. |
