Graphic Novel #23 by Brett Wood

Luke Henery is a founding member of Violent Soho, one of Brisbane’s most celebrated rock bands, having attained two number one ARIA albums, two ARIA Awards and a place in Australian rock history that few bands from any suburb could claim. 

Liminalart’s series Graphic Novels explores the narratives worn on the skin, documenting the canvas of tattoos. This shoot was aimed at capturing Henery’s tattoos, but it was a spontaneous expression caught mid-transition that Liminalart chose, a moment of fun-loving character that no posed shot could have produced. Shot on analogue film to honour their shared love of the photography and the handmade. Liminalart says “the image bridges our friendship and our craft, freezing a moment of character in grain and ink.”
