One channel, two channels, all the channels? And then how much should you be posting? Every day, three times a day? Having a digital presence is one thing, growing one is a very different beast. In this 7th episode of Some Context Please, Matt Leach, from previous seasons, talks to Alex Cearns AOM, Founder and Director of Houndstooth Studio, an award-winning pet, animal, and wildlife photographer. They discuss how she built up a social media following and where she would suggest people go to start building their own digital presence. We also get a chance to talk a little about how she started out and what advice she'd give to photographers just beginning their career journey. We were incredibly lucky to get someone as well known as Alex to give us some time, plus she refused all payment, instead, asking us to donate to a local wildlife fund — so, if you like what you hear, reach out and say thank you through her social channels. It's always nice for professionals to know their words have landed well. | |||

Based in Hobart and servicing the state of Tasmania, Devaka Seneviratne works on all things commercial, small business, portrait and everything in between. He has extensive experience shooting for large international conglomerates and fastidious art directors gaining knowledge in a wide genre of photographic disciplines. Hailing from Sri Lanka, Devaka (or Dave, as he invited us to call him) entered the trade as a scriptwriter and documentary producer in 1999, and onto stills photography in the early '00s, conducting shoots across India, Bangladesh and the Maldives. His specialty was shooting for the luxury hospitality market in South Asia as well as a documentary of post-conflict resettlement and recovery in Sri Lanka — two areas at polar opposites to each other. In this episode, Adam and Dave discuss light, continuing the conversation he started with Lizzy Allnut last session.

You might be looking for that perfect entry-level role, either locally or interstate, or, on the other hand, thinking of starting up something on your own in a freelance business working with multiple studios or clients. Whatever it is…. Andrew has some great advice for you on how you might set yourself up and start looking. | |||
