“I shot this photo of Gerard backstage at Adelaide Big Day Out 2007. It was more of a mindless response than a moment of inspiration. Gerard always writes a word on his inner arm before each show. The word is what he intuitively feels the energy of the show needs, maybe for the good of his audience. I think he sensed that the show could get out of hand, it was hot, really hot, and a bit of care was needed from above. As a photographer, he’s one of the best I’ve ever photographed - no fuss and welcoming.” - Sophie Howarth.
