Izzie Austin is an Aotearoa / New Zealand born, Naarm/Melbourne based music photographer and filmmaker working with analogue mediums.
Izzie's photographic style is a collision of hard and soft themes, tied together by a common thread of intimacy. Her documentation is a result of following what energises her - the camera is an extension of her experience. Izzie is skilled at translating her subjects’ musical energy and personal essence into a striking visual format. Her images reflect juxtaposing moments of stillness and vitality.
Her extensive archive includes local and international artists' live performances, tours, festivals, album artwork, press imagery, music videos, video stills, and recording studio sessions.
She has photographed international tours, performances and portrait sessions of artists such as King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Billie Eilish, Amyl and the Sniffers, Zach Bryan, Sharon Van Etten, W.I.T.C.H., Courtney Barnett, Cate Le Bon, Brett Mackenzie, The Murlocs, The Strokes, Julia Jacklin, Babe Rainbow, and Leah Senior across the USA, UK, NZ and Australia, as well as avid personal documentation of the Melbourne music scene since 2015.
Her work has appeared in publications such as Pitchfork, i-D, The Guardian, Russh, and FLOOD Magazine. Notably, she photographed King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard for the March 2023 cover of New York-based magazine Relix.
Izzie's music documentation began in the Melbourne music scene as a personal recollection of her life and friendships, from pub gigs to house parties. This personal approach has remained, resulting in a body of work that reflects an intimate portrayal of her subjects and scenes.
Izzie is interested in capturing the ecosystem that exists beyond the stage and into the wider community - the connections and friendships formed between artists, crew, collaborators and audience members alike.
Izzie is currently in the U.K., and is available now for assignments here and abroad.
