The AIPA invites the NZ creative industry to new photography platform – CLIQ’s launch party at 6pm, Wed, July 31 at 14 Maidstone St, Ponsonby
The Advertising & Illustrative Photographers Association (AIPA) has launched ‘CLIQ‘, an initiative that provides a unique and engaging platform for showcasing the outstanding imagery produced by New Zealand’s leading commercial photographers.
CLIQ will be celebrating its launch with an event, in conjunction with Epic Beer, Rekorderlig Cider and Sony New Zealand, on July 31st at 14 Maidstone Street in Ponsonby at 6:00pm. Each attending creative will receive a complimentary copy of the 2013 CLIQ Photography Compendium. Interested attendees should register via email: rsvp@cliq.co.nz
The CLIQ website (www.cliq.co.nz) has been developed as a resource for creatives and clients who regularly require the services of professional photographers. Visitors to the site can find up to date information about recent campaigns, editorials, books, exhibitions and other projects produced by top local image makers such as Tony Drayton, Spid, Charles Howells, 
Simon Devitt, Ian Robertson, Dean Zillwood, Alistair Guthrie, Lee Howell and Diederik van Heyningen, to name a few.
In addition to the website, the AIPA has published the 2013 CLIQ Photography Compendium, a premium 240-page photography sourcebook featuring the work of 79 commercial photographers from
throughout New Zealand.
Says Aaron K, AIPA executive director: “CLIQ has been created to help New Zealand advertising and editorial photographers promote themselves and their recent work.
“But perhaps more importantly, with CLIQ we’ve strived to build an essential resource for creative
directors, art directors, art buyers, graphic designers, publishers, editors, architects, fashion designers, marketing managers and the like. It’s basically a collection of useful tools that anyone can use to find a great commercial photographer.”
