Location: Enmore Theatre, Sydney

Camera & Lens: Canon 7D Mark II, 50mm f/1.8

Bathed in quiet light on the vast Enmore stage, Benny Reed of Skegss stands alone: tuning, waiting. Captured during soundcheck before a sold-out show, this image speaks to the stillness that comes just before everything erupts. The moment is stripped of noise but loaded with anticipation.

In 2016, Skegss were just beginning their ascent, fresh from sweaty DIY gigs like those at the Newcastle Croatian club barely a year prior. This photograph holds both past and future. A band born of skateboards and garage shows now standing on one of Australia’s most iconic stages.

Here, the raw heart of the DIY scene meets the polish of a headline act. For musicians and fans alike, it’s a reminder: every storm has its silence, and every journey its humble start.
