A practical panel on building a sustainable photography career in Australia, covering clients, pricing, licensing, contracts, networks, industry support and AI.
Love photography but need it to cover the rent? A photographer-turned-academic from the Image Makers Association, a 40-year commercial veteran, an accountant who also shoots, and a designer working with AI answer the questions every photographer asks. How do you set fees and license your work? What do you do about copyright and contracts? How do you find and keep clients? What is AI doing to the market? Practical, honest and free of jargon, with time for your questions. For emerging and established photographers, and anyone curious about how a creative career really works.
