Hi there,
I certainly thought taking it easy and slowly getting back into this year was going to happen, but instead... it went BOOM! Here we go 2022, we're ready for you. Enjoy looking at all the fabulous work from our creatives and meet some extraordinary
people and hear their stories. Also, I'm proud to announce the launch of my first eBook "How to Develop Your Career as a Photographer". Sally, Jess and Charlotte
In Conversation with
Kellie Northwood
Kellie Northwood, Chief Executive Officer of The Real Media Collective, an industry association representing the paper, print, mail, publishing, and distribution sectors across Aus and NZ.
"Imposter syndrome is common for many of us, overlay that with perfectionism and you have a fairly crippling emotionalization whenever anything in the professional world doesn’t go to plan. If I don’t achieve that very high target or fail on a project deadline or stumble in a meeting, don’t get that deal across the line and so on the feeling of failure and ‘I’m not supposed to be here, ‘people will think I shouldn’t be doing this job’ and so on, start circling with the emotional self-doubt and internalisation. It’s not only incredibly deflating, it’s also completely unhealthy and unnecessary – be kind to yourself, back yourself, and switch off. Every single one of us do not win every time. If we did, we wouldn’t learn and evolve."
Recent work from our Creatives
JOE VITTORIO | PHOTOGRAPHER
Photography for The Royal Flying Doctor Service
"The brief from head designer Christian Langstone of The Royal Flying Doctor Service was for a series of double-page spreads of everyday activities and interactions visiting country people at their properties. Another of their services is taking gravely ill people, perhaps with little time left, to their favourite and requested locations with supervision and care from medical staff with the purposely fitted 'Memory Lane' Vehicle.
The key requirement was for long shadows and the low sun on the horizon to be the running theme throughout all images. This is when you need good planning, long
days and more importantly, luck!"
ADRIAN ELTON | SENIOR CREATIVE
Social Media Campaign for Woojer
Woojer is one of Adrian Elton’s favourite clients. Based in Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley, Woojer is a tech group that produces haptic wearables that bring games, VR, AR, cinema and music to life. Adrian has developed many pieces of collateral for Woojer over the past 5 years; from devising their brand positioning, to developing advertising campaigns, website design development, copywriting and even designing a category disrupting investor presentation.
The stills that have been featured here were part of a recent Instagram and Facebook
campaign that Adrian developed for Woojer.

AGENCY | VIDEO PRODUCTION
Video Production for Bush Fire Recovery Victoria
"We love nothing better than working with clients creating engaging videos for websites, social media and sales presentations. Not many remember the violent storms that swept through Victoria five months ago – except the people affected. Bushfire Recovery Victoria is a dedicated agency helping people recover from natural disasters like fires and freak storms.
We were fortunate to work with these fantastic people as they showed us their team in action in Daylesford and Mt Dandenong; capturing the stories of the people as they recovered their homes. Our videos have
now recorded more than 15,000 views each and have been widely shared across social media."
LISA RAY | PHOTOGRAPHER
& RETOUCHER
"As a creative, it is always such a pleasure to create personal work. Amongst retouching and shooting for my clients, I've been quietly working behind the scenes on launching my fine art florals. The print store will launch early 2022 and you are welcome to join the mailing list for pre-release information https://mailchi.mp/37d690d7ffd3/print-store-launching-2022."
Bigger metal prints available now
With the lockdowns over the past 2 years, Print 2 Metal has had to put aside their plans to make bigger metal prints available. Finally, they are now pleased to announce that with access to more warehouse space within their existing block, they have recently purchased a new SEFA heat press which means they can print full metal panels up to 48x96” / 1219x2438mm. This year they will also have an additional brand of metal that comes with a 5-7 year outdoor guarantee, can be used for splashbacks, signage and public art is bendable, antimicrobial, non-flammable and graffiti resistant.
This is sure to open up many more opportunities for photographers and artists to showcase their work both indoor and outdoor.

BROOKE MILES | PHOTOGRAPHER
She’s done it again! Brooke Miles has launched another vibrant brand, this time allowing buyers to purchase her photographic art for commercial spaces at wholesale prices. “This new venture has been collecting dust since 2019 when I first registered the name, and to be honest it's still not 100% finished (but hey, when is anything 'ready') so I thought I should just hit the 'go' button and launch it anyway!”
What is Artwork For Any Space you say? It's an online artwork shop and features a vast range of painterly images of quintessentially
Australian scenes, vivid travel photo prints, dreamy abstracts and florals, soothing ocean-inspired escapes, still life subjects and so much more! The range is all photographic art captured by Brooke. However, Brooke sees it growing to include more artists and more mediums as it develops. Brooke and the team at Artwork For Any Space are on a mission to help you source affordable and creative artwork for your resort, office, home, or commercial space.
DANIELLE HARAN | FINISHED ARTIST
"Having had the pleasure of working with Sally in pursuit of permanent work I found her to be a very supportive and enthusiastic recruiter. From the first call, I received from her about a position to accepting the position I felt she put all her effort into helping me get the role. The whole process with Sally, I felt was very seamless and not stressful. I had complete confidence in her experience to get me a great position."
NIKOLA SARBINOWSKI | UNICEF AUSTRALIA
“I can't thank Sally enough for the help she has given me and my team over the past year. She's connected us with five talented designers, often at extremely short notice, to help us get campaigns out in market at pace. It's clear that Sally is incredibly generous with the guidance she gives to the creatives she works with - making it so easy for us to work with them too. As well as being fantastic at what she does, Sally is always a joy to talk to. What a bonus!”
