About the photographer
Michael first started shooting live music in 1991. A keen surfer and photographer,
he was working for a WA based surfing magazine, and happily combining his two
passions. However, in late 1991, he inadvertently secured a full time job with Kodak,
selling cameras. This severely restricted his time to take surf photos, so, using his
magazine accreditation to gain entry, he started shooting live bands. In early 1992, he
presented his portfolio to The West Australian Newspapers' Revue Magazine, who
immediately offered him a job. This opened the door to a world of well paid rock and
roll photography. He shot live music for West Australian Newspaper for 6 years,
shooting most bands that toured the state, and all the major music festivals.
Currently Wylie still shoots for a range of clients, and is in house photographer at the
Amplifier/Monkey Bar complex in Perth central.
