Julian recently completed this project with Missy (stylist).

The swimming cap is made from cute Kewpie dolls.
Shot on location at Bondi Icebergs, the team cast local talent, Rima, who swims everyday and Ernie, who swims a little less, but owns a red Ferrari.

As they were shooting they found a swim group from Newcastle, so they convinced them to be in the shot, holding Rima.

Cuteness.

Julian shot this little experiement to see if it’s really true that symmetry is more beautiful than asymmetry in the human face. What do you think?

BT – Chris Searl

Chris shot this mammoth job alongside a TVC for BT.  All the hard work was thankfully done by the TV crew with the sets being built in one of Fox’s largest sound stages.  Yes, it was as big as it looked!

Welcome Matthew Sleeth

Pictured 3 [Milan] 2004

As a lot of you know, I have reduced my roster this year.  It’s leaner, stronger and more in line with my values as a vicarious creative than ever before.  I’m now able to do some things that I have wanted to for a while including expanding my agency offering by bringing contemporary art photography into the commercial space.

In the next few weeks I am going to be introducing Matthew Sleeth to a few of you in Sydney.  In my opinion Matthew is Australia’s answer to Richard Prince, and if by now you don’t know what I am talking about then you really need to meet him.  He gives an unpretentious insight into the world of art and he is looking forward to expanding his practice by learning about the strange world of advertising photography.  It’s very exciting for me to have Matthew on loan from the art world and I am proud to be able to offer him to all the brilliant creative minds we’ve worked with so far.

Here is a sweet portrait Chris shot after meeting the girls on the Natalie Imbruglia shoot which they guest-styled.

I think this is one of the nicest shots I have seen of them in years.

There was an article about me and my agency peeps (and various other things) in Daily Imprint today.  Daily Imprint is Natalie from Real Living’s blog and it’s great.  She’s definitely cherry picking the best stuff locally and worldwide and creating original content rather than blogging the blogs.  Thanks Natalie!  Excuse my outta control desktop on my screengrab.  Click here for the full interview.

Tooheys New wins Could be a Caxton

The ’sunscreen’ execution of these NEW ads just won a ‘could be a Caxton’ award!  Keep your eyes peeled as the year progresses for more topical executions.  When scandal breaks, a new NEW execution will be hot on its heels.  Hats off Chris Searl and Pete from Southpaw.

We knew there would be a payoff for being an animal hair specialist.  Julian shot this in Melbourne last month for My Dog.  Did you know they wash the peas for dog food shoots?

Julian’s Lynx ‘Snow’ campaign with BBH London has been selected to be featured in the 2010 Creative Review Annual. Anyone who knows their butt from their boob will know that this is massive news.  We’re very proud of him.
