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.

You will have seen this everywhere if you live in Sydney.  In fact I went past a billboard outside central the other day which had Chris’s Bonds work on one panel and Julian’s Nova piece on the other.  We loved this concept from Three Drunk Monkeys when we saw it and Julian (and of course Kathy McKinnon) did such a great job of realising the vision.  Thanks of course as well to Adam, the quietest, most easy going producer we have ever worked with.

Chris is the only person EVER to have been allowed to shoot up there.  You can read the full interview about the shoot here on Pedestrian. And you can see the behind the scenes video here.

Richard shot Lisa Mitchell for Vogue.  She looks more like a model than a singer.  He said she was completely intoxicating and totally knew how to work the camera.  When we look at this shot words like twinkling and sparkling float into our minds.  We live in a bit of a cultural cave in the Wolkenstein/Maud office, but this has made us want to get onto iTunes and have a listen to the source of all that twinkling.

and some gorgeous out-takes.

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.

Gen shot this film of Jethro Cave a couple of months back and she has been saving it for The Ones 2 Watch. TO2W usually results in a major stats spike so it was worth keeping it a secret and letting them post it first.

Click here to watch the film. Ah youth.

And here are some stills.

Catch Gen Kay in this months Lensflair article in CREATIVE magazine.  She has an eye for the next big thing we reckon.  She has been shooting man of the moment, Jethro, since he was but a boy.  Watch this space as we will be posting her new Jethro film when The Ones 2 Watch send it a little bit viral.

So after years and years of working constantly despite not having a website, Jon has joined the consensus and decided that a web site might be a good idea.  It is really comprehensive and beautifully laid out.  A lesson to all you photographers out there who go for tricksy flash sites.  On the topic of web sites, I just wanted to say thanks to Cameron for speaking at Trampoline in my place last night.  He gave a really good talk to the group on what makes a good site and what doesn’t (from an art buyer’s perspective).  I think he would be pleased with Jon’s.
