A post without any photo, well yes !
Image libraries seem to be on a push with 'Self Help' options for us struggling photographers in these days of economic woe ... Alamy have just released FAP (Find A Photographer), while Gekko Images here in Australia are celebrating the launch of their Create 09 website. It's fantastic that libraries such as Alamy and Gekko can offer these services to photographers, but it has taken me nearly an entire day to work out Create 09, build galleries, tag options, enter the Image Quest competition .... it seems so true that the days when you could just be a photographer and leave it at that are long gone. Now the photographer has to be a self marketer, a web site guru, computer specialist, Java know-it-all and, quite possibly, a rocket scientist to survive let alone earn a few miserable dolleros :)
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Richard supplies stock imagery to Alamy and Garden Picture Libraries, as well as directly to publishers, corporate bodies, designers & more. Specialising in nature, the bush, wildflowers, Perth city scenes and Australiana, Richard completed Certificates II, III and IV in Conservation & Land Management during 2011 at WCIT Joondalup. Richard now works in business development management for a Perth based specialist commercial native revegetation company.
