Amanda Gilligan by Lost At E Minor
Sydney-based photographer Amanda Gilligan takes brilliant live shots that make you feel as though you're in the front row, being drowned in a bucket of sweat and copping a backful of shoves from the frenetic crowd behind—as these shots of Brisbane band The Grates and, um, Fiest's legs attest. Of her work she says: "When I'm old and deaf from standing next to speakers for too many years, at least I'll have the photos to look back on. I like details. I try and capture that when I shoot rockstars. Taking just one good shot out of 100 makes me giddy."

Tristan Still
Sydney-based photographer Tristan Still shoot raw and confronting images. "I started when I was sixteen; around the same time I started skateboarding. I loved how the camera could catch and freeze any moment in time. I'm almost always trying to engage the audience in some way, to draw them in and wonder about the who, why and where of the photo."
