In this episode we answer a big detailed question from our mate Chippy.

All about the state of Commercial and Art photography now in Australia.

Chippy’s Question came in of Facebook:

“….So I am not into weddings, New Borns and families. How do I make a living back in Australia? It seems there is no market left here? Where is the advertising? Where is the commercial work? How do we break into that? Where is the photography sales market here? No where I have been to sells photographic art? How come? Please help getting very frustrated being back in Australia…”

ACMP – Australian Commercial and Media Photographers, established in 1991, acts as a united voice for Australian professional working photographers.

We talked to LISA SAAD – the president of the ACMP here in episode 21 of the Black Market Photo Podcast.

Paul mentions the incredible artists and photographer EMMA HACK – check out her site here.
