When the ‘Pommie Invasion’ was in full flight back in the 70s and 80s it wasn’t just the imported writers and art directors that were lifting the standard of creative work in Australia, it was the back-up troops they brought with them. Directors, producers, retouchers, illustrators, typographers and of course a group of high quality photographers. Billy Wrencher was one of that group. Billy and his producer Wife Ouida, made an excellent team – that together made their mark on advertising at the time.
