As Montalbetti Campbell the married couple are masters of the studio and post-production, creating uniquely provocative imagery that arrests the viewer to ignite a confusion of interest and hope.
For the 20th Anniversary issue of Who – Australia’s best-selling celebrity magazine – Montalbetti & Campbell were engaged to create an elaborate double gatefold insert entitled Feast of the Stars, with twenty accompanying After Party portraits of the dream guest list. With the background options shot in New York and star-talent in Sydney under styling of Cassandra Scott-Finn, daily photo additions were sent to CREAM Studios for retouching and incorporation into the nal, glorious image.
Montalbetti & Campbell were commissioned to develop an advertising campaign re- ecting the elevated services of All Nippon Air- ways. Working closely with their producers at IS Production and Creative Director Jonathan Teo, this extensive shoot was broken into inde- pendent schedules with the airplane, tarmac and red carpet developed in 3D by CREAM Studios, while the cherry blossom petals were shot at Mount Fuji, Japan. Talent was photographed mid-air to create a feeling of lightness, then sent to CREAM for post-production and inclusion onto the background skies, having been selected from the Montalbetti & Campbell stock library.

A recent and disturbing trend on the internet. A blog lets people easily post comments onto a webpage. While blogs have many purposes, some of which can be useful, most people seem to use blogs as a way of having an online diary. These people have such massive egos and are so narcissistic that they believe that other people would be interested in reading their pointless ramblings. Even more disturbing is the fact that many people have such boring lives that they have nothing better to do than to read these stupid online diaries. They just feed the egos of the bloggers and encourage them to continue posting nonsense.

The VOCAL Times: Issue No.2
This second issue of The VOCAL Times continues alphabetically on to B. With the sad realization that the inspirer has become an in uencer and the immense di erence that this presents as a reference for creativity, we embrace originality that achieves reach to spotlight those with integrity and true skill.
This second issue of The VOCAL Times continues alphabetically on to B. With the sad realization that the inspirer has become an in uencer and the immense di erence that this presents as a reference for creativity, we embrace originality that achieves reach to spotlight those with integrity and true skill.
In our brave new world where the brilliant few strive to be heard above the banal many, a nger can be pointed at the digital soapbox that thinks itself the vocal equal of genuine authority. Commentary dressed as insight fuels inspired delusion, contributing to an entitled mass lacking experience – a hustle that generates an appreciation of process over prize.
But B ain’t for beef, and so we steer clear of the blog to take a look at a range of creatives that truly inspire and in uence. We explore various art forms and learn how passion can engage and converse with an unknown audience. If B were for brilliance, it would allow the perfect introduction to the artistic collaborator for this issue: Swanski.

“Being a woman entrepreneur can sometimes be a lonely road and I find that exchanging with other fel- low entrepreneurs can be so helpful. During my four years of entrepreneurship, I have been lucky to meet many inspiring women and I have been wanting to gather them together more often; when I find myself stuck in a situation, it’s by talking to other women that my situation developls clarity. I hope to be able to give back to other female entrepreneurs.”
Esther Gauthier, a 30-year-old French citizen, found- ed the first & only aqua cycling studio in New York – AQUA Studio. Born & raised in Paris, Esther grew up watching Woody Allen movies and all the episodes of Friends, obsessing over New York City thinking that one day she would conquer the city as Melanie Griffith did in ‘Working Girl’. After attending her first aqua cycling class at La Maison Popincourt, an innovative and highly effective workout that had revolutionized the fitness industry in Europe, Esther knew she had to bring it to the US. Combining her entrepreneurial spirit and passion for personal wellness, Esther introduced the workout with her own refined sense of style to New York and opened AQUA Studio in April 2013.
The VOCAL Times – ‘SKILLSET
Based in Sullivan County in the foothills of the Catskills, ’Skilled is a one-stop shop for photographers and creative directors, offering location, production, casting and catering services to the creative industries.

Based in Sullivan County in the foothills of the Catskills, ’Skilled is a one-stop shop for photographers and creative directors, offering location, production, casting and catering services to the creative industries. For last season’s Kate Spade Saturdays campaign shot by Cass Bird, ‘Skilled supported with finding them the perfect backdrop in upstate New York to create the perfect country living experience.
‘Skilled Productions was founded in 2013 by Ellen Jong, an artist, and Hali Friehling, a photo editor, producer and art buyer. Friehling is a local whose family owns a stable and ranch in Bethel, a stone’s throw from where the 1969 Woodstock festival was held. After working for more than a decade in the city, she returned to Bethel to start a family on the shore of Kauneunga (White) Lake. Jong purchased a house in Mongaup Valley along with her marketing genius husband. She divides her time between a Chinatown apartment and her upstate home / studio.
Jong and Friehling had worked as photo shoot pro- ducers at various times, and both had spent years on one or the other side of the camera. The two also had a deep appreciation for the beauty and diversity of the Catskills. A landscape of rivers (the noble Delaware delineates one of the county’s borders) and lakes, richly wooded and with a seemingly endless skyline of hill after rolling hill, Sullivan County is paradise for a photographer or creative director looking for a ru- ral setting. Only two hours from the city, it offers a mix of settings from deep woods to open fields, wide lakes to trout streams, farmland, hunter’s shacks to sprawling lakeside homes, a dramatic hydroelectric dam and an airport straight out of Mad Men.
