WEBSITE CURRENTLY UPDATING DUE TO STUDIO RESTRUCTURING…
To diversify within my visual work and collaborate with radically different clients, I’m fishing for any kind of commissions or day jobs (in all other industries, particularly academia, hospitality, travel, corporate events and major brands) here and abroad. Which will take elements of my music work and apply them in different and more fantastical ways. I’m particularly looking for a client that wants to take on an XX project which are detailed in the Sarah Ginn XX tabs. This kind of work is what I call ‘hyperbranding’ and has an infinite number of applications for potential clients, who are looking for a fully collaborative visual project.
My main personal project while I restructure the studio will be continuing to write ‘The Feedback Loop Theory’, which will be my second book. This will carry on my music related work via theory writing, and is also available in The Theories tab. I particularly welcome academic feedback and work opportunities from universities and research institutions interested in this work.
My archival music photography work is available in the books below. After 17 years I have now retired from mainstream dance music photography for the following reasons…
This decision is largely due to a severe lack of bookings due to gatekeeping over the past 5 years in this sector, which despite my best efforts I’ve been unable to rectify. This ongoing problem was also made much worse due to pre-filing a civil IP theft case against photographer Sam Neill (& his manager Sebastian Weingartshofer of Worship Artists). As a result, serious retaliation & intimidation incidents were imposed & those are detailed on Sarah Ginn XX Sub Focus page of this site. The case is now being filed imminently after a lengthy delay & the page will be locked soon, where its particulars will instead become publicly visible via permanent & official IPEC court records.
Subsequently I’ve become disillusioned with the long term lack of diversity, threats to my personal freedoms & gender discrimination I’ve received in dance music photography, as it doesn’t align with the skill I exhibit. With great sadness, I also consider it now impossible to procure any commissions in this area, due to only gaining a handful of gigs over a half a decade stretch. So the most positive move now is to shift focus and look towards pastures new within different, fairer and more ethical industries, for my multi media art, writing and photography. There is no point in re-living the past. My music photography work wil remain as a legacy on this site and a record of what I achieved, and to showcase my talent to those who will value me equally and support/invest in my craft, whatever that will be in the future. All kinds of events are welcome, as this fits in with my previous experience.
