A few simple steps from enquiry to your first day.
“Hey, my name's Adam. I did the professional photography course. Since then, I've run a photography business over the past three years. Due to the fundamentals of what I learned through the course, it gave me everything that I needed to create the fundamentals I needed to start my photography career. I was always into street photography. I like capturing lifestyle in the street. I use lighting and night photography as really my main genre. I also shoot portraiture as well, so I work with various models around the Brisbane area. I also specialize in business branding, so I work with various small businesses around the Southeast Queensland area. I have photographed for the Stanford Plaza Hotel in Brisbane CBD.”
