Woodford Folk Festival
& Fire Event 2006

Official Photographer of the Fire Event

Every year the Woodford Folk Festival is held over the New Year holiday, near Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. On the final night the closing ceremony involves a spectacular open air theatrical experience involving fire... Here are some images from the event on New Year's Day 2006.

In all I took over 800 hi-res photos using a quality digital camera. Many of these images were behind the scenes looks at the creation of the fire sculptures, lanterns and the people behind the staging of the event. A widescreen video was also made of the event, and of the Fire Choir in rehearsal.

Here you may see some of the images from the fire event itself and the behind the scenes preparations. Please enjoy your look at my photos.

A photoCD containing over 800 original high-res photos is available, details here.

A DVD with multi-media of the fire event, fire choir and preparations is available, details here.
