INDUSTRY Q&A
Quan Payne | Founder and Creative Director of Studio Payne
"Creativity is always relevant, though styles and trends come and go it’s when you rely on one way of being creative that relevance is lost." 
NEW WORK FROM OUR DIRECTORY MEMBERS
Momento Pro | Printers
'Best of Show’ win for Momento Pro"Sydney based printer, Momento Pro, recently attained the ultimate graphic arts industry honour by winning the 2019 Premier Print Awards, James H. Mayes Jr. Memorial ‘Best of Show’ prize, for a collector’s edition art book, Middlehurst | Middle Earth, by Australian landscape photographer Peter Eastway. Eastway captured the grandeur of the New Zealand landscape on a Phase 1 camera, printing the images in a size and quality that did the files justice. In June, Momento Pro was notified that Middlehurst | Middle Earth had won the 2019 Best of Category for Art Books (4 or more colours). The judges stated that, "The title of this masterpiece is Middle Earth but a better title might be out of this world! Each spread is a visual feast for the senses. In the toughest category, this is numero uno. Extraordinary colour!" On 2 October, at the Premier Print Awards Gala dinner in Chicago, the book was also awarded ‘Best of Show'." Image Workshop | Photographers
Award-winning AnalogueBrownbill creative duo Brence & Sharon from Image Workshop have been racking up awards for their striking black & white analogue photography work. Sharon won Third Place in the Australian Photography Awards for her unique ‘scribbly’ self-portrait (pictured), and between them they scooped 7 of the top 25 placements in the Film/Analogue category! Add a Silver Award at PX3 in Paris and 3 Honourable Mentions at the International Photography Awards – all with non-digital images using traditional and ‘alt-process’ media and methods and a giant wooden camera. Brence has been experimenting with the 1850s-era wet plate process and recently returned from a 5-day workshop in New York with John Coffer – the guru of the method who singlehandedly brought wet plate back from obscurity in the 1980s.

Meta Runner"Big Ears Audio has had a busy year having just finished looking after all the sound on a new 10 part web animated TV series called Meta Runner. Episode 1 has had over 1.5 million views. Meta Runner is an Australian computer animated web television series created and developed by Glitch Productions, which is also known for a YouTube machinima web series called SMG4 that parodies the Nintendo franchise Super Mario with internet memes, YouTubers, etc. Meta Runner is the first completely animated series developed by the company and was co-produced by American distributor, publisher, and licensing company Crunchyroll, video game and software development company Epic Games and multinational semiconductor company AMD. The series was met with critical acclaim and has become a major breakthrough for Australia in the animation market. Set in a futuristic world centered around video games, the series follows Tari, an amnesiac cyborg girl who discovers she has the uncanny ability to warp into video games. She and fellow video game character Theo are pursued by Lucks, the CEO of an esports company named TASCorp, and his prize meta runner Belle Fontiere, who both want to use her to benefit the organisation. Along the way Tari meets the MD-5, a group of meta runners who plan to take down TASCorp. Meta Runner is currently available to watch on YouTube, Crunchyroll and the 9Go! channel network."

2019 Westfield Fountain Gate Spring Racing Fashion RunwayToni Newman, who runs Toni + Co Productions and The Styling Business produced and styled this year's Westfield Fountain Gate 2019 Spring Fashion Runway Event. Toni talks to TBE about the event. "When Myer Fountain Gate asked me to produce and style their 2019 Spring Racing Fashion Runway Event being held at Westfield Fountain Gate, I jumped at the chance because a. they’re an ace crew and b. it was an opportunity to use all the skills I’d gathered over the years; Stills & Motion Production, Casting consultant, Props & Wardrobe Stylist and Events Manager - a dream job! I wanted the event to be all about ‘Fashion being fun and attainable for EVERYBODY regardless of size, shape or age. I cast 29 ‘real-people-of-all-shapes-sizes-ages’ models (including the FAB Sally Brownbill) and created each of their head to toe wardrobe looks, pulled in sponsors & awesome crew including Nicola Bernardi, Dominic Hook and Precision Creative from The Brownbill Effect, took care of the Child Employment Permits, the call sheet and schedule, created the overall look and feel of the set and event, picked the runway music and MC’d the event. Had a ball. Loved it." Would totally do it again." You can check out more pictures & video on facebook @thestylingbusiness

"Though Scott has built a career photographing the famous, he’s just as interested in capturing the lives of ordinary human beings. “I love working with everyday people in their own environments,” he says. McAulay’s skill in creating compelling portraits is evident in both his commercial and personal work. He spent two months on location in Nicaragua shooting Survivor, and while there, began his project In My Ute, documenting the hitchhikers he picked up each day. “I’ve photographed a broad spectrum of people, and tend to get on well with everyone,” he says. McAulay was raised in Birkenhead, Auckland, where his father owned a pharmacy for more than 45 years. It was here that he discovered his interests in photography and people."

NEW PHOTOGRAPHY ASSISTANTS 
Sam Guy | Photography Assistant
Sam Guy is a Tasmanian native who has spent a lot of his time adventuring around his home state with a surfboard under his arm and a camera around his neck. He moved to Melbourne in February this year to complete his photography studies at RMIT. He is a surfer, commercial diver, fisherman and is now pursuing the career of a photographer. He has worked in many different industries including electrical, marine, aquaculture, commercial diving, pearling and worked on the docks. Although he is yet to have extensive experience in the creative world his experiences in other high functioning industries give him a unique skill set to offer. He enjoys coffee and great conversation but thrives most on learning new skills from those around him. He loves coffee, fashion, food, travel, and adventure! Mary-Ellen Lane | Photography Assistant
With lots of life experience from her travels, Mary-Ellen is keen to learn and better her skills at every possible opportunity. She has learnt most of what she knows about food from her mother, who never failed to put anything less than incredible on the table, taste and presentation wise! Hence the obsession with food and knowing what looks good! In-between classes, assignments and working as a waitress, Mary-Ellen plays football in the women’s VAFA league, where the opportunity to sink her teeth into sports photography began. Always being envious of the photographers on the sidelines of the MCG when she was younger, she finally saw an opportunity where she actually could be a part of that world as a female photographer. In the future, Mary-Ellen hopes to be shooting for food and travel publications, as well as being on the sidelines of AFL games, just a few steps up from her local football club environment!
