Known for his sophisticated, emotive use of lighting and striking portraiture, Daniel Boud is one of Sydney’s most talented photographers.

One of Daniel’s most famous images is of two first nation dancers high atop one of Sydney’s icons - the Sydney Opera House.

Another version is of the dancers proudly waving the Aboriginal flag. -- Mitch Noakes is a photographer and director whose work has taken him from the familiar areas of NSW to international locations such as Iceland and Israel.
