An opportunity to re-connect with the Principals and members of the Brisbane based model agency Sabcar , is also an opportunity to see some old photographs.
Most of these shots were taken to produce a major poster promoting all the talent at the Agency at that time – March 1977.
Produced at my studio at the old pink church in Warren Street, Fortitude Valley, it was a major exercise in logistics.
The negatives from this (and all my other commercial photographic output) is now stored at the John Oxley Library within the State Library of Queensland.

On a technical note, the majority of portraits in this very large project were shot on the medium format Hasselblad camera system using a 6x6cm black and white negative. Both Kodak and Ilford films were used. There were some shots taken using a Nikon 35mm outfit.
Additionally the bulk of the assignments were taken in the Warren Street Studios with a handful of sessions taken at Albert Park.
