International Rescue expands with 5 new talents – 3 photographers, an illustrator, and an animator
Adding to their already burgeoning fold of commercial photographers, illustrators and animators, International Rescue has five new artists and a new blog where creatives can view recent work, personal projects and inspiring links from International Rescue and the 31-strong fold.Commissioning a storyboarder is now even easier with a new storyboard section under the ‘Illustration’ category which showcases storyboards from Ant Sang, Chris Grosz, Gareth Jensen and Darren Sheehan.
The new photographers are:
Nic Staveley – Portraiture
Staveley’s interest in portraiture stems from a passion for strongly stylized portraits and capturing a filmic narrative of his subject. Nic’s recently shot an alluring campaign for Shortland Street/TVNZ.
Colette Nickelsen – Automotive
World class car photographer Colette Nickelsen has permanently returned home after 10 years shooting in the USA and UK. She has shot for the likes of BMW, Audi, Lexus, and Mercedez Benz as well as editorial for Top Gear.
Kristian Frires – Lifestyle and Landscape
Having assisted some of the best photographers in Australasia and winning multiple awards for his personal work along the way, Frires now seeks to establish himself in the commercial field with a strong eye for lifestyle and landscape photography.
New illustrator
Liam Gerrard – Portraiture and Still life
Gerrard works in the medium of charcoal, pencil and ink to create replications of his subjects whether they be people, product or an intricate combination of both. Latest
commissions include a portrait of Hollie Smith for WWF. Past projects include album illustrations for The Veils (whom he used to play for) and The Checks.
New animator
Suren Perera – 2D
