Pete Daly recently joined the agency and we are happy to report he is already getting exciting work enquiries for 2010.  Check out his new downloadable folio.

by nominating someone good.  Needless to say, I am talking about my gang here.  To show your support in a practical way and help the agency in its quest for world domination, click here.  And remember, the categories are Julian and Chris Mollison = Advertising, Chris Searl = documentary, fashion, editorial and portraiture, Rich = fashion and editorial, Pete = fashion and editorial, and Gen = fashion and editorial.

Let’s shake up the pro-sumer mag industry this year!

We just got our new cards and we’ve posted most of them out.  We’ve done boy sets and girl sets as some of the cards look a bit more like pin ups than comp cards.  They always seem to make it onto the pin boards so this time I have put our logo on the front instead of back.  Here’s Lucy working like a slave, stuffing envelopes.  (This is to prove to our artists how hard we work for them.  Please make a note when visiting Mecca to buy your tireless agents Chrissie presents.)

Beci and Jonathan are exhibiting with our other favourite person, Jeremy on the 27th November. It’s to raise money for Youth with Cancer.  Is there a worthier cause?  There are lots of familiar names up there, but we are proud to say that the three in the RW family are most definitely the best ones.  (You should be able to read the venue, times, and dates on the flyer which is stunning by the way.)

It’s so hard finding the right artists these days.  It takes so much patience and searching, and so much delicacy.  The right balance has to be found, niches have to be filled, gut instinct has to be allowed to rule.  This is why I am thrilled to announce that Richard Freeman has come on board.  He comes with zero ego, Kiwi humility, and an absolute passion for light and beauty without any of the nonsense.  He has only been shooting for himself for three years and has already scored a Vogue cover.  His page on the site is going up in the next week or so, so keep an eye out for it.  If you can’t wait til then, click here to see more of his work and partake in some pure escapism.

We’re so excited to have found someone locally who has the energy to make product photography thrilling!  His name is Pete Daly and he is on the right side of 30, completely guileless, free of cynicism and has boundless youthful creative abandon!  He is also complicit in our new marketing strategy of using T&A to promote the artists whenever such shots are available.  It’s just easier that way.

To see more of Pete’s work, click here. The above shots are of a wallet and a pair of sunglasses respectively.

I won’t crap on about it here. There’s enough crap in the article (Ash- crap spoken by me, not you.)

We have something to be extremely excited about at the agency.  We are representing a new young talent who we believe to have the most potential of any photographer since a baby Julian teamed up with upstart Leo Premutico (and look what happened to them!)  We’re working with Chris Mollison as an investment into his and our future.  The projects we have planned together are of a higher level of sophistication than we have seen in a very long time, and we’re so keen to start working together.

Chris has only been shooting for two years.  He was the star of his RMIT class, and has already shot for Sony Ericcson, Target, Olay, and Mercedes Benz, after having assisted Sydney’s best, including Andreas Smetana, Sean Izzard, Troyt Coburn, and Ian Butterworth.

After a month away in UK shooting snow angels having sex, Julian will be back on Monday. And with his books completely up to date, we are ready to rock and roll.

We are very excited to announce that after months of planning and legwork, the Rebecca Wolkenstein Agency has gone on tour.
A selection of our favourite advertising agencies will hold a boutique exhibition of artists works over the coming months.

Publicis Mojo was bumped in today.  You can see from the camPhone images that it’s a pretty amazing mix of media.  Andrew is presenting a pencil print on canvas, Murray’s Academy Award nominated film, SALT, is on a loop on a big screen, Gen has presented the most divine film stills, and Beci has submitted a giant laser cut tree!

Next round will see Jonathan Zawada’s screen printed mirrors, Chris’s now not-so-secret Where The Wild Things Are on-set shots, and Julian’s headspinning wallpaper.

The show will then head to DDB and follow to Saatchi & Saatch, Lowe, Ogilvy, Droga 5 and more in the new year.

Some of the works will be for sale, please make contact with  lucy@rebeccawolkenstein.com

Post script by Bec: This is a simple idea, but I want the world (or just my blog readers) to know how much behind the scenes work went into this by Cam and Lucy and I want to say a massive public thank you to my amazing team and artists for delivering as usual.
