'Flash, Bang, Wallop, What a Picture!' - Production Photographer and Actor, David Hooley

David Hooley is a graduate of the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts and the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. His theatre credits include Spamalot (Her Majesty's Theatre Melbourne), Fiddler On The Roof (Aus/NZ tour), Richard III (Sherrif's Court Theatre Glasgow), The Bends (Traverse Theatre Edinburgh), As You Like it (Shakespeare Globe Aus) and The View Upstairs and Aspects Of Love at the Hayes Theatre. David has been a photographer for over a decade; beginning as a theatre photographer in Hong Kong, and then branching into other facets of photography such as promotional and portraiture. Having lived and photographed in Hong Kong, Glasgow, London and New York, David now calls Australia home. This diverse background has contributed to his unique style of photography, ironically based in simplicity. In the theatre industry, he has worked with many of Sydney's production companies including Squabbalogic, Sugary Rum Productions, Neil Gooding Productions, the Actors Benevolent Fund, Hayes Theatre Co. and The Gordon Frost Organisation. His work has been published in multiple online publications including ItNews, Stage Whispers, Sydney Arts Guide, Timeout, USA Today, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Daily Telegraph. David is a regular contributor to aussietheatre.com, writing articles and photographing mainstage theatrical productions for them.
