Industry

I have just had my first taste of the real world of the commercial world. To get anywhere in the industry you really need to know people. I tried to contact over 10 different studios in sydney and got a 100% fail rate. I contacted them by phone calls and emails the responses where better through email as i could send them my work and see that I have some idea what im doing. By phone was a complete fail as they probably though i was another high school kid asking for work experience.

I now know when i decided to jump into the deep end and start to get my own commercial jobs or even tring to find a job assisting a commercial photographer I will need to have to contacts to get anywhere.

80% connections and personality

20% photographic skill
