Sydney photographer Max Doyle will screen his second narrative short film this coming Sunday, 2 March at Golden Age Cinema in Surry Hills.
Doyle is known for his extensive work as a commercial, fashion and art photographer, as well as the editor in chief of the iconic doingbird magazine, the creative force behind cult-band Songs, and more recently for his work in film.

His 2012 short-film
Arc, starring Lucas Pittaway (Snowtown) and
Isabelle Cornish, was nominated for Best Short Film, Best Director and
Best Cinematography at the St Kilda Film Festival 2013.
Jack Off
is a move to a more understated form of filmmaking where the subject
resembles that of a moving portrait, in t

his case of Sydney musician and
scene-ster Jack Mannix.
Says Doyle: "It's interesting that this
film has taken on somewhat of a portrait feel given a lot of my work
over the years has been about shooting people, making them feel
comfortable in front of the lens."

Doyle has a unique ability to
make people feel at ease and during his career has shot Australian stars
Catherine McNeil, Abbey Lee and Myf Shepherd as well as established
supermodels Anja Rubik, Hannah Holman & Jacquetta Wheeler. Recent
advertising campaigns include DJ's, Jigsaw, Seafolly, Wrangler, Elle

Macpherson, Herringbone, Virgin
Doyle, like many photographers, has been enabled by the advent of DSLR and HD digital video cameras.
Says
Doyle: "I've always been interested in movement and film, the way a
subject moves, the way the light plays in motion,

and even the story of
the subject, so exploring filmmaking was a logical step for me to make.
The consideration of composition and performance, beyond a single moment
captured in stills, has been an exciting challenge for me and I think
that it's an area of my work which will only continue to grow."
The
film will screen at Golden Age Cinema at 7:30pm on March 2nd, and
features non-actors and a host of Sydney musicians including those from
Songs, Circle Pit and Bushwalking.
