Meet the Slow Magazine team

A media-savvy mob who enjoy living in regional Victoria

	Jacqui Mott - Editor An award-winning photographer, picture editor and journalist with 30 years experience, Jacqui loves all-things-media. She's worked for publishing greats such as the New York Times, London's Sunday Telegraph and Rolling Stone New York while adding projects such as the legendary Day in the Life of Australia book project to her resume. Treechanging to central Victoria, Jacqui more recently worked with local publishers including Fairfax and Rural Press, while growing Slow Magazine.
	Louise Fisher - Graphic Designer Louise comes to Slow with a passion for magazines and a love for provincial Victoria. Qualifying at LaTrobe University, Louise's art direction and design are integral to Slow Magazine's total style. A greenchanger without the 'change' bit, Bendigo-born Louise says she's best described by the song, 'Give me a home among the gum trees'. "I think it's me to a tee!" she adds, " I love living in the country - I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." Winner Best Magazine Designer 2010 - PUBLISHERS AUSTRALIA
	Rob Hickman - Photographer A full-time resident of the tiny central Victorian village of Chewton, Rob's a veteran commercial photographer with more than 40 years working experience in London and Melbourne. Spanning the realms of retail fashion, still life, corporate and reportage photography, Rob joins the magazine team as chief photographer and art director. When's he's not shooting pics, he's happy cruising along country lanes, tinkering in his shed and leisurely 'rolling-up' at a lawn bowls green.
	Brendan McCarthy - Photographer During his colourful career Brendan's work has featured in major guidebooks and news publications. In 2003 he shifted from a metropolitan workplace to a central Victorian tree space. He says editorial photography is all about telling the story, "Capturing images is all about revealing the lives of the world's quiet people." When Brendan is not working behind the camera, he's happy to sit with his dogs and while away the time at his country property in Sutton Grange. Winner of the 2010 Prize for Community and Regional Photography - WALKLEY AWARDS
	Jeffrey Booth - Columnist An award-winning advertising copywriter, Jeffrey began his career in London. Having spent five years at art college gaining a degree in graphic design, he moved to London and promptly became a copywriter. As you do. In 1978, he moved to Melbourne and since then, he's worked on just about any product category you care to name. These days, Jeffrey leads a less hectic life in regional Victoria, looking after his horses and scooting around the region (not always slowly, it must be said) on his Vespa, in search of stories for Slow.
	Genevieve Barlow - Writer Genevieve has been writing freelance since quitting city living for central Victoria five years ago. Previously a newspaper journalist, she wrote extensively about food production and farming before going on to round up politicians as a reporter in parliamentary press galleries. Her recent work on community affairs, health and energy has been published in Australia's major daily metropolitan newspapers. She likes nothing better than to pluck nurturing tucker from her garden and serve it up for dinner with friends.
