Matt Reed for Australian Creative Magazine

Matt recently shot a series of portraits of Australian and New Zrealand's top 20 most powerful people in advertising for Australian Creative Magazine.

Saying that Matt "shot the series" is actually a bit of a joke. In fact he got each of the advertising heavyweights to take a self portrait. Here are a few examples:

Welcome Penni!

Contacts would like to welcome senior producer Penni Glencross to their production team which includes Mark Gardiner, Ash Woods and Corina Slack.

With a degree in visual arts, Penni dived into the world of photographic assisting before beginning her career as a professional photographer in Sydney. Whilst shooting and producing her own magazine features, corporate and advertising campaigns, Penni discovered her talent and passion of photographic production.

For the past eight years she has produced both national and international campaigns for some of Australias leading photographers.

Whether producing a small still life studio production or guiding a large team on a major location, car or people shoot, Penni is in her element and brings a sense of calm and care to every shoot.

She has also dabbled in the world of presenting working on getupgo tv, run photographic workshops for children through the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and tried to quench her hunger for 4pm sweet time... we have chocolate on board in case she hasn't managed to!

Jason Loucas for Swire Hotels

Late last year Jason was commissioned by Swire Hotels to photograph their Hong Kong hotel “The Upper House”. It was a one week shoot, then they moved on to Beijing to shoot “The Opposite House”.

Here are a few shots from the shoot.

Eamon Sullivan and exploding pool shot by Zahn Pithers

This image was one from a series taken for One HD's upcoming swim season.

The images were shot in an Olympic swimming pool. Pyrotechnics specialists ran gas lines underneath the surface of the water and carefully controlled the explosions. Olympic swimmers Libby Trickett and Eamon Sullivan had to swim and dive in and around the exploding pool. They were a bit nervous about it at first but eventually warmed up to the idea.

The shoot wrapped at 4.30 in the morning.
