Byron Bay Photographer Tao Jones
Welcome to Byron Bay Photographer taojones. I hope you enjoy my web site of some of my photographs taken in the Byron Bay area of Australia and the Byron Bay Bluesfestival.
The links above and at the side will take you to portfolios of my work. I am the official Photographer for the Byron Bay Bluesfest Festival which is Australia's largest International Festival of Blues and Roots Music. The Bluesfest is held on the full moon at Easter over a five day period. There are links at the side of the page to the last eight Byron Bluesfests with a photo gallery of my shots for each one. All Byron Bay images are forsale in the Landscape and Byron Bay Bluesfest galleries.
My photos are exclusive in the Byron Bay calendars, 2004, 2005 and 'The East Coast Bluefestival Calendar' 2006-07. My work has appeared in local and national magazines. I have won photographic contests held by Canon Australia, and the Daily Telegraph...My photo gear consists of Canon 5D Mark3, Canon 5D Mark2, 70-200 f2.8 IS, 16-35mm, Canon 24-70mm. I shoot in raw format and all my work is processed through 'Adobe Lightroom'. My mine influence in photography has been Minor White...
"A very receptive state of mind...not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly inert, yet so sensitive that a fraction of a second's exposure conceives a life in it".
"No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen".
"Let the subject generate its own photographs. Become a camera".
"I am always mentally photographing everything as practice". - Minor White
Byron Bay is on the East Coast of NSW Australia. A small sub-tropical coastal town with a big reputation for being a meeting place of sub-cultures. It is where the rich, the artist and the hippy drink in the same coffee shop. The name 'taojones' came about through my username in photographic forums on the internet. 'Tao' being for that which can't be explained the mystery of life. The 'Jones' is because I was sick of trying to keep up with them...contact me at taoart@gmail.com
