This week we went on a Sydney trip to visit some galleries, studios and talk to some industry photographers. This trip was extremely beneficial as it gave us a bit of an inside view into the workplace and some well established studios.
GM Photographics was started by Graham Monro. He is a high end photographer with a focus on weddings but also does family portraits, pregnancy, newborn, commercial and some fine art. It was a good experience to hear about the business side of things as well as how they show the photos to clients. Graham was very passionate about his work and spoke with enthusiasm. He seems to be not only a great photographer but a smart business man and has a good team behind him.

Studio Commercial

I really enjoyed seeing the studio ownded by Studio Commercial. They had a lovely old building that was set up as an office space teamed with a studio that can also make use of the large windows running along the sides of the building to shoot with natural light. There workspace appears to very versitle. The photographers at Studio Commercial all seemed relatively young but spoke with enthusiasm and knowledge.
"Studio Commercial is not just a single photographer, but 6 photographers working together as one creative company, our studios are based in the CBD of Sydney, Australia.
We shoot advertising photography, editorial photography, corporate photography, product photography, fashion photography, annual report photography, architecture photography and general commercial photography work, on location or in our studio for direct clients, design studios, and ad agencies. We stand out because of the quality of our images"

The last place we visited was Sun Studios. Sun Studios absolutely blew me away. I was very impressed with the way the place was run, the studios and the equipment that they offer. The facilities they have are extremely good quality and they obviously take a lot of pride in what they do. They run there business with a lot of bride and proffesionalism and in doing so create an amazing and infectious atmosphere. Maybe one day I will be able to use the studios myself!!!
Quote from Website:
"Sun Studios Sydney is a small, busy creative hub for professional photographers located in inner city Alexandria. We pride ourselves on providing an exceptionally friendly and professional environment. Our building is a beautiful old 1930s warehouse that we renovated from the ground up specifically for photography. We have six very different studios, a gorgeous cafe as well as professional sales, lighting rental, repairs and all digital services. Our staff include some of the most technically savvy and experienced in the industry." - http://www.sunstudiosaustralia.com/
Seeing Sun Studios also really made me appreciate the involvemnt that they have with CIT and as students just how lucky we are to have already benefited largely from there amazing lighting equipment.
