Being a photographer at gigs and festivals is sweet. When you get free booze, an important-looking swing tag and access to ogle band members you're in bogan-free heaven. But really, none of the cool shenanigans happen backstage when rockstar X is having his nails manicured. Leah Robertson has braved the plebs, foregone the perks and documented every moment in her upcoming exhibition aptly titled General Admission.
Every shot has been taken with only the aid of a general admission ticket and some quality music taste. Images include the beautiful faces of Blonde Redhead, Nick Cave and Ground Components (to name a few) at locations such as Meredith, BDO and Laneway Festival.
