Star Maker Winner-Luke Austen

January 28 2010

Gone are they days when counrty music is not cool. I have fond memories(if you would call it that)going on family holidays spending 6 hours in the car, fighting with my brothers & sisters all the way & being subjected to Slim Dusty.Country Music in thoughs days & when your a 9 years old Slim Dusty was not cool. But todays country is cool especially with the likes of artists like Luke Austin.

Luke won the huge title of Star Maker & for those who dont know this. This is where Keith Urban go his break.Yep very big!

Luke is the sweetest, funniest guy. He has been in the industry for years & this definately shows.

Deb from Plush did the Hair & Make-up again. So we brainstormed together ideas of location etc. & I think we hit the Jackpot. I love the green chair prop we used, Deb found it in council clean-up….major score. I love it.& really love the locations we chose.

Going back to how country is cool, while we were shooting in town, a young 9 year old boy sitting in the back of his parents car stopped at the lights & yelled “Heh Luke” gave a huge wave & was so excited when Luke responded back. He’s already a star & a role model.

Last years shoot with the winner Liam Brew we scored an album cover out of, hopefully these images will be the same. I REALLY LIKE them.

Congrats Luke. Thanks Cheryl from Capital News & Deb, Great Team effort.

My Fav- Great light…mmmm just so nice
