In Decemebr 2005 the Board of The National Portrait Gallery purchased this print of Mark and Nick Seymour.

Mark and Nick Seymour are both internationally renowned musicians, Mark as the lead singer of australian rock group Hunters and Collectors and now as a solo recording artist and Nick Seymour was the bass player and one of the founding members of the legendary Australian act Crowded House.

This image was taken after a free concert held at The Rocks Market in Sydney during Australian Music Week in 1996, the concert was to promote Mark's first solo album King Without AClue and he was joined by his brother during this tour.

The image was taken back stage in a quickly arranged setting I had brough a black cloth with me to use as a backdrop and my Bronica 6 x 4.5 camera, luckily it was an overcast day so the light was nice and soft, only 9 images were taken in this brief shoot but Ibeleive I captured the essence of these men, these brothers.

The print is a one off print measuring 101.6cm x 76 cm (40 x 30 Inches) and printed on Kodak metallic paper which gives the image agreat depth and a quality of luminescence.

It is now on display as part of the permanent collection of The National Portrait Gallery which is located in Old Parliament House, Canberra, Australia
