lessons in photography, life + freelancing: a blog
As a photographer, If it’s something I enjoy as a much as photography and filling up my camera bag and going out on an adventure taking pictures, it’s opening up my notebook, uncapping my pen and writing down the thoughts and ideas that go through my head about life, the digital marketing, social media marketing and photography environments in Perth.
