Pierre Baroni
MELBURNIAN, PIERRE BARONI began designing record covers in 1990.
Whilst Art Director of Mushroom Records he took up photography in 1991 after
buying an instamatic camera on holiday in New York City . He started
photographing the artists he was designing covers for and began
directing music videos in 1994.
He spent the next 3 years as Tina Arena's creative director,
photographing and filming her everywhere from Los Angeles to Rome to
Cairo and back again, before returning to Melbourne and starting his
own studio.
Pierre still works primarily in the music industry and began exhibiting
his photography in order to break out of his "12cm square CD cover
cell".
As well a being a photographer, art director and music video director,
Pierre spends his 'spare' time DJ-ing and presenting his own weekly
radio show, SOULGROOVE'66, Saturday afternoons on PBS 106.7FM.
He remains proudly untrained in all of the above.
Pierre regards himself as portrait photographer who merely captures
people's eyes; leaving the rest of the shot to take care of itself.
His photographic subjects have also included THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET
COMPANY, VALI MYERS, MAVIS STAPLES, SOLOMON BURKE, WILSON PICKETT, ISAAC HAYES, TINY TIM, PEARL JAM, NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, DAVID HOBSON, STEVEN HEATHCOTE, ANTHONY MUNDINE, MADELEINE WEST, KATE CEBERANO, VANESSA AMOROSI, CHRIS WILSON, DAVID McCOMB, JIMMY BARNES, DIESEL, VIKA & LINDA BULL, RICK PRICE, DARYL BRAITHWAITE, MELISSA TKAUTZ, RUBY HUNTER, KATIE NOONAN, TONI PEAREN, JIMEOIN and CHARRO.
