Photographers Jasin Boland and Matt Nettheim have become the first Australians accepted into the LA based Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers. The honorary organisation is dedicated to the art of motion picture still photography and boasts an exclusive membership of only 35 photographers from around the world.

To be eligible for nomination the photographer must have at least ten years of feature film experience, receive sponsorship from two existing members and submit a portfolio for review by the Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers.

Jasin and Matt are thrilled to have been accepted into the exclusive organisation:

“To be made a member of The Society of Motion Picture Still Photographers is a colossal honour, It seems like yesterday that I was shooting on the set of ‘The Matrix’ and to now have my work recognised by the most influential photographers in the film Industry is humbling to say the least” says Jasin.

Matt shares the sentiment, “There is not a great deal…

D-SLRs won’t fit into a pocket. You need to tote a camera bag or maybe a backpack and you’ll certainly spend a minute…
