Fenella is a television and radio presenter and producer, MC, interviewer and writer. Working within the walls of the ABC network, she has previously hosted shows like Art Nation and Sunday Arts in addition to presenting The Movie Show on SBS TV. She recently hosted Radio with Pictures as part of this years Graphic Festival at The Sydney Opera House which featured presentations by actor, Claudia Karvan and musician, Don Walker (Cold Chisel) among many other acts to share the stage. With her passion for the arts and journalism she currently hosts a show called By Design on Radio National. But despite all those credentials, its her love of Electronica, experimental, ambient, instrumental/post rock, minimal techno, freaky folk music, house, beats, oddball hip-hop, dub and dubstep that has kept her at her post at Triple J radio producing and hosting The Sound Lab, a show she has been presenting for 10 years. Playing music from artists like Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin & Autechre, Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Bjork, Laurie Anderson, Monolake, Sigur Ros, Four Tet, Animal Collective, Battles and Burial, she continues to keep her finger on the pulse for underground music every Sunday night on the national radio airwaves.
It was quite the privilege to get this opportunity to do a shoot inside the radio station, especially for her final show of the year and at one of Australia’s more recognisable stations that supports homegrown and global forward thinking talent. And what a fitting way to round up this years work with her vinyl choice being of the first artist I photographed this year on this project, Sofie Loizou.
