Billy’s Prudence Column

01-copy1

Make up artist Billy Orr has long been a friend of the studio’s. We love nothing more than getting a few nuggets of make up info from him when he’s in on a shoot. Now Billy has a column in Prudence Magazine, so everyone can get some of Billy’s wonderful tips! Pick up a copy of the March/April issue while you still can and get a dose of Billy’s make up secrets (-the mascara article is a personal favourite!) We can’t wait to see the next issue!! Have a look at some of Billy’s amazing hair and make up work by viewing his website here.

Creative Get Together II…Belated Pics!!!

Apologies for being such bold bloggers! We finally got our mitts on some photos of the last Creative Get Together, what a great night! We had hairstylists, photographers, d.j.s, musicians, writers, artists, designers, consultants, politicians, sound engineers, architects, cinematographers….the list went on!

A big huge thank you to everyone who helped out on the night, especially Bren Crowe who played an incredible set! We want him to play here all the time- even if it’s just in the office on admin days!

We are looking forward to having another get together soon, so keep your eyes peeled for updates!!  In the meantime, here’s a few shots of the last night…
