Markus Ravik Exhibition

Overview

It's one of those jobs that everyone wants, even if we all know that the reality isn't as glamorous as we think it is. And given it's a line of work focused on snapping the perfect shot to convey the mood of a live show in one image, that's quite amusing. Yes, we're talking about music photography.

That's the life Markus Ravik has chosen for the last seven years, and he has an amazing portfolio of pictures — featuring everyone from Yeezy, Peaches and Arcade Fire to Violent Soho, Lorde and Metallica— to prove it. And, for the month of September, he's parlaying his shutterbug prowess into his own exhibition. That's what happens when you're Beach Burrito Fortitude Valley's artist of the month.

Drop by the Brunswick Street eatery for a gander at some of the best gig shots from recent years, all while you order a Mexican dish. Or, head along on September 2 for the event's opening night celebrations. There'll be beers, art and burritos (of course), plus all of Ravik's ace prints will be available to purchase.
