Tony Mott | Long Play Series
Rock ‘n’ roll photographer Tony Mott has captured the Australian music scene for over 40 years. His name is synonymous with arresting black and white live shots and portraiture, and his work has appeared on the covers of hundreds of albums, posters, and magazines.
Born in Sheffield, England, Mott first arrived in Sydney in 1976 and settled permanently there in 1981. Enamoured with the city’s vibrant live music scene, he honed his fledging skills by photographing the Divinyls during their Monday-night residency at the Piccadilly Hotel. This hobby became a paid gig when the band used one of his photographs on a tour poster.
From then, Mott’s work made it to the front cover of almost every music magazine in Australia including On the Street, JUKE, Juice, RAM, and Rolling Stone. His career hit international heights with his first portrait featuring the Eurythmics, then in 1988 photographing Mick Jagger during his Australian tour promoting his first solo album, She’s the Boss (1985).
In the 1990s, Mott became the official photographer of Australia’s biggest music festival, Big Day Out, never missing a festival. Mott has captured the essence of local artists both on stage and behind-the-scenes including INXS, Midnight Oil, Silverchair, Kylie Minogue, Nick Cave, and Amyl and the Sniffers. Mott’s international portfolio includes Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elton John, Prince, Whitney Houston, Björk, and Nirvana.
In this interview, Mott discusses his big break shooting Chrissy Amphlett of the Divinyls, his experience photographing Queen at Freddy Mercury’s last performance and the extravagant after-party that followed, and his reflections on touring across Australia with Paul McCartney.

Tina and her Buddy can't seem to understand that the entertainment industry is just like the sports industry, the money goes to what the people want, no one cares about gender.
I took the night off work years ago to see the Hoodu Gurus at Heaven in Adelaide - even though I was told I couldn't get the night off. Got found out, but no consequences. worth it! Great show. They sounded really, really good. Songs are timeless, still love them.
so glad i watched this. I remember as a young boy back in the day staying up after bed time to watch rage and seeing a video of no fixed address. It always resonated with me. He is a very good man.
The Aboriginals actually came here from Asia, but don't let the truth stand in the way of a BS story.
Steve Connolly was a gent. I remember hosting a home dinner with Steve in attendance when he joined Sherry Rich
awesome. Any chance of an interview with Sean Kelly?
'enervating' is actually the opposite of 'energising'. Oops.
Great interview, thanks!
Have all his books. Fabulous
jo boxers yep I remember them , what when you like 6
Nick has been a great influence on me to dedicate myself to recording records. Great interview and great interviewer. Greetings from Argentina.
I love Ollie. Always kind to me
Hardware records legendary. Fun fact....the boiler room was punk and lesser known bands. Was no electronic music
vale laurie
the ms10 or 2o was awesome
That was awesome, but that chick has crazy eyes, like woah...
Thanks Jane for Taxi Mary and those other songs from Cha ( you’re gonna get it boy !) And Girl in the Wall ! It’s a great single and clip too !
Without a doubt these Aussie Music Vaults are the best interview series. Extraordinary guests, great interviews. 😎😊
Great interview, Great musician, vocalist and songwriter! So many many great songs keep them coming Dave 👏👏👏
Dave's a bit special. Great bloke, great band.
I've loved David's work since I discovered him about 35 years ago, via 3RRR and also his cover of 'Another Girl, Another Planet' by the Only Ones that he recordrd for an AIDS benefit album. Great that he's still at it!
Great interview with a great UNDERRATED songwriter / musician! It's so good to watch an interviewer who's done the homework and asks intelligent questions.
A beautiful man who presents and represents without needing to do either. He's safe and comfortable in who he is without ever having to mention it. As a queer person, I find this especially inspiring.
I used to work w Dave at Metropolis/Cosmos. His band Lynchpin from c 2000 were excellent. Should have been huge. Completely by chance, I was waiting at the lights right near my house this afternoon to cross and caught the eye of the driver of the car waiting to turn right ... and it was Dave!
Hoodoos have some of the best songs ever written
Wouldn’t have minded at all if that interview went another hour. What a great life you have lived Tony!
What a great interview. I was a 14 year old living in Sydney in 1980 and remember seeing Tony’s photographic credits in On The Street and other publications. As he said, the live scene back then was amazing.
That was absolutely fucking beautiful!
1993 BDO was epic, if memory serves correct TumbleWeed lifted the roof of the Hordern Pavilion that afternoon. Also the Fuzz weren’t as heavy handed back then as they are now; waiting at every train station hassling the kids for having a bit of pot in their pockets.
Really underrated songwriter!
I have yet to catch the Guru's live. Them and the Tatt's. How has not happened to me yet?
Touring later this year!
There’s only one Adalita absolute Aussie music icon 🎸she’s done so much in her career and deserves recognition for her music contribution 🇦🇺🎼🎸❤️
You can truly say that scene attracted the best and the brightest.
He's right ....change is coming and it's called communism/fascism (same thing of course) and that always ends well doesn't it. Woohoo! Not.
Good interview - perhaps with small breaks of excerpts of a couple of songs to enhance the discussion?
'Estimated time of arrival 9:30am' 🔥❤️
Right on Dave you rock.
You are my sword , your love is it's own reward
Who is the interviewer
Jane Gazzo.
This is one of the most enjoyable hours I have ever spent on CZcams. Thank you Jane for the insightful interview, and thank you Kate for your openness (and career!)
Such a piece of Melbourne
Dave is a beautiful being. Did anyone Notice Dave is wearing a Watch? Not common these days 💎💎💎💎💎
Great interview. Thanks Dave.
Baby Can Dance, Pt ll - lV
A fascinating watch. Left with the feeling there is a LOT more to find out about Dave the man ....... particularly on a personal note. That aside, great to relive the enjoyment he has given me since seeing their first ever gigs in Melbourne in the early 80s. Thx.
🤟🦘🎸 ... legendary artist, a huge part of my 80s, 'Mars (still) Needs Guitars'.🚀😉👍
I have never heard anyone speak so clearly and eloquently. No ummmms or ahhhs
why are all these people so serious? like they've changed the world? it's just bad pop music. so boring
wow she had a real job for three months!
Legend band and a Cronulla sharks supporter...😊..
Bizarre, he's from Belmont WA originally , should be a Perth Demons supporter WAFL and West Coast Eagles AFL.
