Machine Learning to Globalisation - The effects for independent photographers.

Calling all INDEPENDENT Photographers!

Please join us on the Gold Coast for the 3rd Independent Photography Meetup focusing on market trends for the greater independent photography community!

Join a community that's grown to over 1500 Independent Photographers globally dedicated to the future of our industry! Whether you shoot hospitality, commercial or real estate, forming a local community is vital to our success as professionals.

Very seldom if ever do like-minded independent photographers get together and learn not only from industry experts but each other. This group is your chance to learn more about the industry from a local, national and global perspective.

It doesn't matter if you're a long time vet, someone just getting started, or thinking about expanding your existing photography business - come along and meet your peers. To build a sustainable future for our industry the 1st step is the formation of a community and not just online.

"In a digital world, People hire People"
Allan Mackenzie - Photographer / www.macartvisuals.com

Becoming a professional photographer isn’t easy. There’s no shortcut, hack, or Instagram filter that leads to financial reward. If you’re fortunate enough to make a living behind the camera even success can bring unforeseen challenges. After 20 years shooting professionally with multiple reboots, independent architectural and yachting photographer Allan Mackenzie’s story of endurance is a testimony to his artistic roots and drive to leave a legacy that outlives his body of work.

• Well known for his quote " people hire people", Allan will be sharing his fascinating journey behind the lens and no doubt be catching up with old friends on the night.

It’s very important that one particular brand or corporate doesn’t set the agenda in a community like ours. Even though Imagecloud has taken a lead to organise and grow this community, we are looking for individuals to get involved. Please let us know if you'd like to volunteer and help organise future events.

If there is anything you want to discuss please submit you questions via email here (meetup@imagecloud.tv)

We'll be answering those questions live on the night! There are no silly questions - ask anything we've done a few of these before! You can opt to be anonymous if you like. Just let us know in your email!
