Zico O’neill and Christopher Hope from Pieces (www.piecespeople.com) jumped on board to create The Fronts latest Ad. for Yen & Oyster Magazines. The boys took on a mammouth task of building a giant installation of The Fronts logo. Completely made out of photographic equipment found in the studio. After an EPIC 36hours of continuous shooting Zico and Chris had designed one of the most technically challenging photographers they had ever attempted.
Take a look at the results below! To view the behind the scenes video, click here.
This is the 4th time we have visited THE FRONT with the Photographer’s Assistant Class that I run at the Australian Centre for Photography. And like the classes before this is the absolute highlight for the students.
Shortly before Christmas ’11 their eyes where lighting up when we were going through shelves of delightful lighting equipment.
The students got to see the studio upstairs and have a sticky beak during a fashion shoot with models, hair makeup and styling. For most students it’s the first time to see a cyc and now they can imagine how much fun it is to paint one…
Most fun is to be had wrangling tent size softboxes and reflectors – all the basic stuff that will make you look good at your first job. For some a large handheld reflector can be their nemesis….but this is their chance to ask all questions, try out all the gear and build up some confidence for the first jobs in the industry.
We usually have 80% girls in the class which is great and I hope to be seeing them all out there tackling the photographic world!

We have three new camera cranes and jibs to add to our rental range. The smallest and most portable jib in our range is the Kessler Pocket jib. This camera jib is collapsible and easy to transport, you can also mount the Kessler Pocket Dolly hire or Cineslider rental to the camera jibs and cranes.
The Kessler KC-Lite crane/jib is a great high quality lightweight option for filmmakers using a digital video or DSLR camera under 10 pounds.
Our largest crane rental is the Kessler Crane complete package. This set up allows you to create four package configurations that give you a sturdy and reliable crane to use on your project.
