After three years as a head photographer and manager of studios in Melbourne, Ellice didn’t hesitate to make a change and jump right in with RMIT.

Since then she has successfully freelanced with a variety of clientele and worked for several photographers whilst enjoying being completely engulfed with her studies.

Her major study revolves around an individual as his or herself, and then in juxtaposition what they’ve always wanted to be, an alter ego so to speak. This allows Ellice to explore and play with every possible area of photography, and she continues to learn from it.

She envisages herself in the fashion world, working along side and learning from the best.

Born in 1984, Chonburi,Thailand. I graduated with a BA in Advertising from Bangkok University. I am also holding Diploma in graphic design from University Of The Arts London and Diploma in Photoimaging from RMIT University.

Growing up with my father, as a photographer. Living in a household filled with artistic photographs, photography equipment that my father repaired fascinated me. I saw things differently looking through the camera lens, it kindled my passion to visually express myself. I have now turned my focus to be a photographer. I am interested in Editorial Fashion Photography.

Don’t let anyone take this passion away from me.

Hendry’s major in advertising is on lifestyle, technology and product. How its used.

Professionalism is very important to Hendry in all genres and technical aspects of photography and enjoys the challenge of producing quality work in differing photographic disciplines.

Another area of interest is documentary photography, to see things from someone else’s point of view and to ultimately become a war photographer, to try to be an objective messenger in history and hopefully try and understand two opposing points of view.

In 2009 Janelle dropped her psychology degree, packed up her life, and moved across the country to pursue photography.

Over the past two years she has worked within the industry, shooting and retouching jobs for clients, and assisting a variety of professional photographers.

Heavily inspired by music, she has created of body of work translating the auditory to the visual. This is a concept she will continue to explore and develop over the next few years.

Janelle’s ambition would be to work creating artwork for bands, and shoot portraits of artists around the world.

Janelle Low

At the ripe age of 3 Michelle was sat in front of the computer with paintbrush in hand (and up brother’s nose) ready to embark on a journey of creative vision. Photography seemed the only natural answer. She is interested in the construction of surreal scenes that tangle fantasy with reality. Michelle’s major study piece explores the many characters that create one’s personality. She specializes in making the impossible happen using photo compositing techniques in Photoshop. Next year, Michelle is hoping to return to Japan where her true love of photography began to unfold. After 14 long years of learning Michelle is excited to break into the industry and show what she has to offer.

William Kalengkongan

William’s keen appreciation for architecture manifests in the pictorial reconstruction of insentient structures into an ocular feast personified by mere lines, forms and textures. His photographs capture not only the architects’ exposition of the structure, but are also saturated with William’s personal interpretation of the immutable edifice encapsulated with the fleeting elements of light and time. The zenith of his achievement, however, is in his meticulous creation of an almost animate portrait simply from basic line, form and asymmetry in a structure we daily considered pedestrian.

Joseph Lichstein is a young, fresh emerging photographer specialling in the fields of Advertisement, Fashion and Commercial photography.

Ever since I was young, I have wanted to work in a career in which I can wake up, and look forward to, photography allows for me to do this.

Having freelanced for a number of publications throughout the past four years, my style of photography is often referred to as raw, grungy and fresh.

I aim to bring a style of photography that is different, unique and creative, in saying this I love to capture raw emotion in my photos, whom I believe separates me from the field of other photographers.
