Congratulations to stylist Pip Vassett on recently being named Fashion Editor for Yen Magazine!! Always empowering and sexy!! Well done and SO deserved!!!
Photographer Thomas Kerr recently shot with Sydney stylist Viktoria Ing and six of Sydney's coolest up and coming bands (including Cloud Control, Lions At Your Door, Tennis, The Spirits, Decorated Generals and Richard in your mind) to produce a wicked zine entitled 'Press Play'. Viktoria asked two photographers, one of which was our very own Thomas Kerr, to photograph each band with their own interpretation and style. Although each photographer is completely different in approach, the images contain wonderful results along with a feature interview on each band. "Press Play removes the pretention from band photography and makes it fun again. Each band represents a different breed aesthetically and musically, and here, each frame tells a different story". Four of Thomas' images are above. The images were released in 'Press Play' which is free and available in all of Sydney's coolest boutiques and music stores."
November 2009 - Sony Ericsson collaborated with our photographer Josh Robenstone on 'Picture Messages' at Monster Children Gallery in Darlinghurst. Josh's documentry essay of every day life, as it unfolded in front of him, never missed a beat, as usual!
Congratulations, again, to photographer Ben Thomas whose solo exhibition in Berlin went brilliantly and he's solo exhibition on the 21st November 2009 at St. Germain Des Pres, in Paris, looked amazing and was received with serious excitement. The curators put an enormous amount of work into the show and it certainly paid off. A great start to Ben's introduction to France and just 100 meters down the street from The Louvre!! Go Ben!!! Here are a couple of new images shot whilst there.
and again....

2009 -In pure inimitable style, our photographer Josh Robenstone takes a photograph of his billboard recently shot for Republic. Launching two weeks ago for Myer, Josh sees the poster differently in his own mind. It's not complete until it's a part of a living moment. We love his perspective, love his mind, love his photography and love THIS image!!
2009 - NOMAD TWO WORLDS kicked off its Australian tour in the Virgin Lounge at Sydney airport on September 28. From there it was an enormous amount of work and an enormous amount of fun as NOMAD TWO WORLDS made itself known to Australia. Our Australian born photographer, Russell James, one of the world's leading fashion and advertising photographers created the idea of 'NOMAD TWO WORDS' a few years ago and has spent much of his down time, from some of his regular clients, Victoria's Secret, Rolex, Hermes, and W Magazine, pulling together his own dream time. Teaming with Indigenous Australian artist Clifton Bieundurry and others, this meeting of the like minded has produced an incredible collection of art that was inspired by Australia's apology to the indiginous people of this land. NOMAD TWO WORLDS collaboration moves us beyond reconciliation. It is of the now and of the future. With Richard Branson, Virgin Airlines, Donna Karan and the Black Eyed Peas by his side it was a heartfelt project come to life. Will.i.am, the front man of The Black Eyed Peas, has produced a music film for the project entitled “Apology (It’s Time)” featuring Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology speech - http://nomad.dipdive.com/ - BRAVO Russell, we're so proud of you and your mates. Thanks for the fabulous BEP after party!!!
2009 - Congratulations photographer, Mikael Wardhana for his beautiful shoot to launch the newly refurbished Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. The exposure in and around the CBD has been extensive to say the least. The incredible team of creative agency, client, talent and crew, including hair and makeup artist Julie Provis, endured way to much fun over the two days. Pics of the craziness will be added to this site very soon. Thanks to everyone for such a great shoot.
2009 - Fujifilm used the incredible photography of Michael Kai to create the above 'roll-over' image for Australian and NZ website advertising. The team began racking sand at 4am on Coogee beach in preparation for the sunrise shot and it was a wrap at 10pm after creating a faux rainy night for the last scene. Unbelievably amazing catering by "Cafe Mint' and the always professional Deano at Honeywagons kept us happy every step of the way even after a rude awakening at 2am! Thanks Deano! Special mention to Michael's assistant, Fiona Wolf , for her never ending support on the day. For the full effect of the campaign click here
