Take
an Access All Area’s trip though the archives of official Soundwave
photographer Kane Hibberd’s debut photography book, ‘Kanye Lens Vs Soundwave Volume 1’
Since
the festival went national in 2008, Kane (aka Kanye Lens) has been on hand to
capture every banging head, sweaty riff and thrashing body, that has ensured
that each festival has been bigger and better than the one before.
His
first book, which Kane is self funding and independently publishing, is spread
over 450 pages and contains more than 600 colour and black and white images of
all the action both on and off stage.
Including personal commentary on his imagery from artists and crew, the
book aims to give a holistic picture to a festival that is now firmly
entrenched into the hearts and memories of music fans.
“From the moment I was asked to jump on
board the Soundwave machine, my goal was to, one day, produce a coffee table
style photography book. I grew up
watching Tony Mott create a legacy with the Big Day Out and now this is hopefully
the start of my own legacy. I’ve tried
to create book full of imagery that can escape the shadow of its famous
inhabitants and stand alone as beautiful pieces of artwork. Hopefully the book will appeal to not only
music fans, but also fans of photography.” – Kane Hibberd (Kanye Lens)
