AST E-Newsletter

Still looking for a photographer to take your photos for The Australian Screen Tests? Check out these exciting offers from Rapideye and Matt Jewell Photography.
Rapideye is offering a $100 discount off the Actors & Models Headshot Package for all AST entrants. They will also provide, at no extra charge, a separate CD with your photos in the correct size & format for entry. www.headshots.com.au
****************
Matt Jewell Photography is pleased to offer special discount packages for entrants in this year's AST. If you agree that you've invested too much time and money in your career to sell yourself short with average photos, then give Matt a call. For a limited time, there are AST packages starting from $95 so there's never been a better time to update that tired old headshot.
As a special offer for actors who have already been photographed by Matt in the last 12 months, he is offering a special price on additional images from your photo shoot to cover the extra photos required for this year's entry. Anyone needing to add a full length or horizontal shot to their existing headshot can do so for only $30 for each file. That's less than half the normal price! All you need to do is pick a photo(s) from your proof sheet and the files can be prepared and delivered to you via email in the correct format, ready for submission with your entry. Check out www.mattjewellphotography.com.au for more info.
