AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

There are good parts and bad parts of just about every job, including photography.

Way back in the 80’s and early 90’s, before the internet, before anyone had heard of Bill Gates or that chap that owns Facebook, the school yard conversation topic of World’s Richest Man invariably ended when someone brought up one name. A man who was surrounded in mystery and magic, did he even exist? He […]

Four important rules for landscape photography: 1 . Shoot at sunrise or sunset, not during the middle of the day 2 . Use a tripod 3 . Use a wide angle lens to capture the whole scene 4 . Be patient and wait for great light

It looks as though I may have jumped the gun last week with my bold declaration of having already earned $20,000 in 24 hours in photo competitions. For starters I read the terms and conditions of the Whiskas competition and to my dismay the whole thing is nothing more than a glorified exercise in social […]

Yes, you read that right, this week’s blog is all about how I made $20,000 in just 24 hours!! Two words people – Photo Competitions.
