I will be posting photos onto Flickr.

 

We have been building this website for a bit of time now as we expected that Flickr will change. Alongside this announcement, we have other photographers joining the transition over and we will continue to produce the photography that you want to see and admire. We are a team on individuals that want to create photography that tells a story.

 

As we move forward. We will be posting new content onto Flickr while retaining a few of the classic shots which will be decided by a curator, but most photos will be presented on Zephyr.

 

2017-18. In total 150,000 photos have been taken. 3,959 have been posted onto Flickr equating to 10GB worth of photos. 25 Heritage Train Tours chased. This number will reduce to 1,000 photos in Febuary 2019.

 

_____________________________________________________

 

Semi-professional photographer. You have managed to find my Flickr where I upload lots of my best work from when I first started with the iPhone 4 to now with a Canon 70D.

 

What do I take? Photos of the following which includes architectural significance, aviation, heritage, models and client work, public transport, construction, nature and wildlife and anything that looks interesting. If you are interested in me doing any photography for your event, please contact me via my email supplied below.

 

Camera Gear? My first camera was a point and shoot iPhone 4, that was the first signs that I shown an interest in photography. It wasn't until the iPhone 6 when I started taking photos seriously (literally thousands) when I took photos of buildings and public transport in Melbourne. Some of my work was showcased and eventually, I borrowed an EOS 700D (10-18mm wide, 18-55mm kit, 55-250mm telephoto) which was my first DSLR. Now my setup is a Canon 70D (18-400 Tamron).

 

What have I achieved? This includes the eleven photos that were successfully submitted to Grimshaw Architects: Southern Cross Snap 2017 (a photography exhibition).

 

Why do you travel so much? I love to take photos which include any rail-tours operated by Steamrail Victoria*, DERMPAV* or 707 Operations*, travelling to towns in Victoria to see the architectural significance or just for fun really. I hope by 2020, my goal is to travel to all of the major towns in Victoria (Bendigo, Ballarat, Bairnsdale, Geelong, Maryborough, Warrnambool) and take photos in New South Wales which could lead potentially to travelling the world.

*tours outside Myki zones are completely off the list. :(

 

Have you worked in either the rail or transportation industry? nope. I hope to change that in the later months with my ambitions to be anywhere in the transport industry.

 

What work experience have you done in the industry? none really. sorry.

 

Who have I taken photos for? I'm currently a freelancer, I take photography as a hobby instead of a job.

 

Why is there so much text in a profile description? Well, I love to give context. I'll be honest here if I actually put more time into this small description... it will be longer than this. :)
