dreadfuldan's photostream
|

I started taking pictures for fun, primarily at live concerts and parties. Through a series of fortunate events i've since been published in magazines including SPIN, Rolling Stone, NME and many more.
I'm now employed as Chief Photographer for Time Out Sydney.
If you're into shooting live music i've written an extensive article on concert photography.
If you'd like to use my photos on your website please message me to ask, i'll probably say yes if it's non-commercial and you link back to my site.
If it's for a magazine or commercial site you will need to pay to license my images.
My gear consists of:
Canon 5D
Canon 350D (retired)
Tamron 14mm f2.8
Tamron 17-35mm f2.8
Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 (retired)
Canon 50mm f1.4
Canon 85mm f1.8
Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS
Canon Speedlite 580ex

CazTheTurtle says:
"Dan Boud has taught me almost everything I know about photography, without even knowing it.
I have learned so much, purely from visiting his EXIF data - more than any photo-school could teach.
I admire his work, and also admire his humility about said work.
Thanks for everything!"1st June, 2009

'ju:femaiz says:
"Dan Boud - what's there not to love. The man's a machine in the pits, parties and pubs of Sydney, always there to capture the moment that is most sublime.
As an example of "follow your dreams" Dan can be considered as one of the finest examples - having recently taken up a role as TimeOut Sydney's chief photographer."19th July, 2008

"I have never not been excited to look at your photos. Not once."

the known universe says:
"Despite sharing the same surname, as far as either of us know, Dan and I are not related. But as Daniel's star continues to rise higher and higher, I'm thinking of telling people that we are, simply because, who knows, some of that star power might rub off on me. Either way, you don't need me to tell you he takes great pictures. Does anyone read these things, anyway?"

Ro Luc says:
"It's obvious that Dan has something. It shits me sometimes, but it's good, whatever it is. Apart from being annoyingly good at capturing the moment via the digital sensor, he has helped me out with advice here and there, which was been more than he ever was required to do, which of course was nothing. If you look at Dans photos from when he started posting, you can see amazing growth. That is what makes his work so interesting, it's evident that he has pushed himself out of his comfort zone in order to achieve new results.
Apart from the fact that he converted me to Canon just after I set myself up with Nikon, he seams like an alright bloke ;-)"22nd May, 2007
