During a shoot I bob and weave, dance the fandango and sometimes push myself to the point of exhaustion. I might start off with a serious edge, but I usually commit some faux pas that breaks the ice.

The compliment I pay all my subjects is to be honest and honour them as equals. I’ve spent years with all kinds of egos in front of my lens, including prime ministers, rock gods, bikie gangs, artists, actors, pop stars, authors, comedians and a host of so-called everyday people. When I take their photographs, my philosophy is “keep it simple stupid” and I hope that the subjects will reveal something defining and real about themselves – they usually do. Even when I do my books and personal projects I maintain this fundamental idea of simplicity. Here’s a glimpse into some of my favourite shots. All of them have an interesting story to tell, whether it be a drunk rock star or a dog that won’t sit still. Whatever the story might be – believe me, it’s all non-fiction.
Cheers Gary Heery

I had no idea what I had just been a party to
