If you’re anything like me, there are few things you hate more than wasting time and money. Well, I’ve discovered something that literally changed my life, and now saves me time and money. No, this is not some kooky marketing scheme, or once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity. It’s pretty simple really: cloud-based accounting. I speak from personal experience as someone who used to rely on spreadsheets to manage my business accounts. I’m no expert by any means when it comes to the various offerings, but what I can tell you is that while I have only been a convert for a short while, I’m saving hundreds of dollars a year doing my own BAS (an absolute piece of cake, as it turns out), along with more significant savings in reduced annual accounting…

You’ve been asked to quote on a job. You’re ulcerating over the question, “What price will win me the job?” But it’s the wrong question. No business run on fear was ever successful. There is a whole set of questions you need to ask in order to produce a quote. “What price will win the job?” is a consideration you might build into your quote at the end. Of course, you might instead be imagining how you’re going to make the job awesome. Yes, you are the creator, but those skills will be called upon later. Right now, you’re a business person. Until you get the job, how you’re going to make the job awesome is only relevant in terms of the costs it will add. Questions at the outset…

Janyon Boshoff The Pop & Spritz campaign for Jacob's Creek Prosecco Spritz was by no means your standard advertising brief. Conceived with the guidance of AnalogFolk, featuring photography by Janyon Boshoff, and extensive digital and post production including live action, 3D, VFX, and retouching by Limehouse Creative in Sydney, the final outcome relied on a large team of over 20, including DOP, directors, producers, animators, creatives, and a variety of support staff. Certainly a sign of things to come, the integrated approach taken by Jacob’s Creek is something we can expect to see a great deal more of in the future. “What made this particular project so challenging was that each element was technical: slow-motion, liquid, video, photography, and CGI assets all combined,” says Duncan Harriss, director of production company,…

See #Resist Laughter by Alana Holmberg, The Lost Ones Contemporary Art Gallery, Ballarat, VIC, until 1 April. Alana Holmberg’s exhibition #Resist Laughter explores the experiences of women in Turkey today through portraiture and interviews, and embraces complexities and contradictions. She was inspired to create her collection on the basis of a tweet from 2014. The exhibition considers the influence of politics and increasing conservatism on everyday experiences of women – on the street, in families, at home, and in relationships. The collection of 27 images was produced with the assistance of a $10,000 Pool Grant, awarded to Holmberg in 2017, and first shown at the Special Group Studios in Sydney. www.thelostones.com.au Curious Affection by Patricia Piccinini, Gallery of Modern Art, South Bank, QLD, 24 March – 5 August.

Shelley Reis Shelley Reis is a lifestyle and documentary photographer based in the Illawarra region of New South Wales. She’s inspired by both the magic and mundanities of everyday life. With the exception of a few short courses that Reis took at the outset to learn how to operate her camera, she’s predominantly self-taught. “My artistic tuition began early on under the guidance of my mother – an artist and art teacher – who taught me the importance of composition, and to notice the beauty in the details,” Reis says. Reis has dabbled in art in many different forms over the years, but it wasn’t until six years ago when her son was born that she really found her niche. “I bought my first DSLR camera disappointed that I couldn’t…

For many photographers, it seems like only a few years ago that the buzzing sound of a quadcopter was a relatively new and foreign experience. For most, witnessing a drone in flight was a near-spectacle and around any drone operator in a public space, a flurry of onlookers and curious tourists was sure to amass. But the novelty factor of taking to the skies has quickly worn off. Thanks to large manufacturers of drones like DJI, who currently dominate the market, and the ever-rapid pace of technological advancement, drones are now readily accessible for consumers of almost any income bracket. The ubiquity of flying cameras has hugely impacted the photography and videography industries as an over-saturation of aerial imagery infiltrates documentary film-making, travel, and Instagram, as photographers incessantly fly their…

One of the overriding aims of the group is to deliver large-scale projects – something that’s only made possible by combining their breadth and depth of skills and resources as a single, cohesive group. The five members of The Light Collective include Luke Austin, Ricardo Da Cunha, Paul Hoelen, Ignacio Palacios, and Adam Williams. Capture: Why was The Light Collective formed? Paul Hoelen: The Light Collective was born from a mutual desire to align with other visual creatives in the landscape genre to push creative boundaries and combine our resources to take on much larger projects. We sought out who we felt were some of the most progressive, artistically oriented and open-minded image makers in the field – based on Ignacio’s initial invitation – and eventually refined the collective down…
