  • WE LIKE...

  • When I started photography work a few years ago with my reasonably sub-par semi-pro gear and enthusiasm I remember being really intimidated by Dan Boud, who seemed to shoot all the things I like, and extremely well, and was also dashing and had a cool blog and stuff. Then one day he said hi to me and I realised he was a really nice guy on top of it all and now it’s even worse because I’m still pretty intimidated by him but we’re also Facebook friends.

    His lady, Cybele Malinowski, also scared the shit out of little me and together they form some kind of super-duo of incredible photography skills, with their shots gracing the covers of many of Sydney’s well known publications, from street press to Time Out Sydney.

    A selection of these mag covers are going on show for everyone to admire at Covers, a joint exhibition by Boud and Malinowski, with prints for sale and all profits going to the Oasis foundation, so they’re also charitable which makes them even more terrifyingly cool. As if being talented wasn’t enough, really.

    It’s at MART gallery, in Surry Hills, from six tonight. The exhibition goes until February 20.
