CELEBRITY
SNAP happy
You’re out and about. Suddenly you are in the presence of a superstar and you ask politely to get a selfie. These are the stories behind some of them. Celeste Humphries
Rachael Poeppmann Ash Barty and Celeste Humphries – Taken with the newly retired Ash Barty who was at that stage still the No. 1 ranked player in the world. I am forever thankful for my photography career and the opportunities to meet superstar and nice humans such as Ash. A massive thank you to the lovely ladies at @esmiskinminerals for having me along to capture such a special event.
Dale Olsson Rachael Poeppmann and Keith Urban – I’ve met so many celebrities across my work life but this meet and greet I actually won. I am a member of Keith’s fan club, yes I’m a definite Keith tragic, and the club had a comp for a meet and greet which I won! It was during his ‘Light the Fuse’ tour in 2014. He was so generous with his time, so patient and lovely, and still to this day I remember how good he smelt when I got a hug. I also had a massive crush on Keith’s guitarist on that tour. I sat front row with three of my cousins and also walked away with their set list and numerous guitar picks. Best concert experience eve and I’ve still got the picks!

Lisa Lees and Rob Thomas – So, what do you do when you go backstage at the Sydney Entertainment Centre to meet the lead singer of arguably the biggest rock band in the world at that time? You talk weddings. Yes, that’s me and Matchbox20’s Rob Thomas in 2000 talking about my upcoming nuptials. I was months away from marrying Mal Lees and he was newly married to his ‘Spanish Mona Lisa’, the delightful Marisol who also joined the conversation.
Dale Olsson and Sharyn Ghidella – This photo was taken at a lunch at Tattersalls Club Brisbane on International Women’s Day. Sharyn is a 7NEWS presenter, who was the MC on the day. She was so lovely and easy to talk to and I love watching her read the news.
