Finding that Niche in the Market Place
Before digital photography most photographers would work in several areas. The average photographer would be a wedding photographer, a portrait photographer, they would take photos of anything that people asked them to take. There weren’t a lot of differences in what one photographer did, compared to another. If you look back on old family portraits, there wasn’t a lot of differences between one photographer and the next. That isn’t to say that there weren’t photographers who worked in a unique style, but they were rare. There was a way to take photos of a family, of an individual or of a wedding party.

I love this city, and I think it is a photographers dream. I know when most people think of Melbourne they think sport, Australian Open, AFL, Grand Prix, or coffee, fantastic coffee culture here, and there is food. The other thing that people think, is weather, we are known for our bad weather. Apparently it always rains here, though Sydney gets more rain a year than Melbourne. It is true, though the weather here can be rather unpredictable. Being a photographer living in Melbourne means, you deal with the weather and work around it. There is one part of Melbourne that I really don’t think gets enough publicity, our architecture. Flinders Street Station is a very obvious building… | Read the full article
