National Archives

Sorry i cant remember the name of the girl who did the talk =[ sorry =[

She gaves us a talk about the national archives and what happens there along the lines of photography. She didn't talk alot about photography but she did tell us about some peoples photos they have archived such as olive cotton and max dupain. she also told us about some exhibitions they have and are going to hold. She said they have a photographer that works just for the archives and travels around shooting the events and doing some copy work of the achieves.

Snowgum studios


This was another talk I unfortunately missed it really looks like a great studio that i would have loved to go to.

The studio is located just a bit out of canberra which gives the clients a great atmosphere and many different sets to shoot with. It also would have it downsides such as inaccessibility for clients this would be the biggest downside and could result in less profits.

The work its self looks very refined and a great studio

Stock

Stock photography with Ben kiplow

This area of photography is great but it seems that it is now a really hard industry to get into unless you are already in a great librarys which sells an amazing amount of photos as there are so many stock librarys out there now. This is a main reason why ben almost doesn't do stock photography anymore. It is also a but unreliable as you may not make any sales at all but sometimes you can make lots of sales. It would be great because you can shoot whatever you want whenever you want but it seems to late to get into now as a career unless you were lucky enough to get a job with a mass well known library such as getty.
