“It’s been a busy year for a certain New Zealander. Brendon de Suza, aka The Colonel, has been all over iStock â€” hitting Diamond, coming on as an Inspector, and emerging on top of the King of the Cage Tournament. Somewhere, he found time for fatherhood. We sent our man Hammondovi in with a list of questions, to find out how one guy gets so much done in a day.”

iStock Article: Getting to know Hidesy

scoop — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 08:10:54 +0000

“I started off by offering a TFCD to models on a few Australian freelance modeling websites, in exchange for a signed model release for iStock. I then sent out a few tentative offers to some of the modeling and talent agencies in the area. Some of them said no, but one was very interested, and Iâ€™ve been working with them pretty much exclusively since. Word of mouth is great too â€“ models talk to each other and I know a few photographers who have passed on my details. Iâ€™m going to be doing a lot more in the future though â€“ Iâ€™ve met a lot of models that I want to work with again, and this time around Iâ€™ll be paying them. So keep your eyes out for a lot more “stock” type of shots in the near future.”

“I met John Rees while building a merchandising web site for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. Braddy introduced me to his mentor at a local coffee shop. He wore a huge coat and kept pulling cameras out of every pocket. I learned more from John in an hour long conversation than I did in a whole semester at Art College. John was born with an astonishing capacity and talent to teach. I fantisized his class was legendary like Dead Poet’s Society. The most important thing I learned from John that day was style, which he oozes.“

“In July 2004 I had the chance to spend one day with the entire team at ImageSource. I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had my suspicions it might be a marketing junket, but I was wrong.

The evening wound down with a hip social at the London Aquarium. We lingered in the moonlight on the Thames talking business and sipping cocktails.“

It may not have been obvious to Guy, but our attendance and intentions were pre-meditated. GoFlamesGo hung off him like a cheap suit, chauffeured him to the Calgary International Airport just to get an hour of his time and introduce iStockphoto.“

iStock Article: Interview: Trent Good (Aidio Multimedia Group, Founder)

scoop — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 00:15:34 +0000

“With the field of Graphic Design so awash in posers and followers, it’s refreshing that Trent Good isn’t tangled up in trends. His style and attitude are more that of a rock star, more interested in impressing himself than anyone else. With clients as diverse and well-known as Snapple and Gucci, it only stands to reason that his soon-to-launch media firm is eponymous - a talent this strong is always asked for by name.“

“Any seasoned designer has likely had their eyes on the likes of Richard May, an incomparable illustrator and co-founder, (one of three), of the coveted Pixelsurgeon.com. Multifarious but with minimalism, through the use of restraint and often subtly he conveys his style with a less is more approach. Now to fill in some of the gaps and details of inspiration and method, we had the opportunity to have May paint a more vivid picture.“
