G'day from Queensland, Australia

Hey C*#t,
(I figured this was the most appropriate and polite way to identify that I'm an Aussie too.)

I work for an Indoor Sports organisation, so I take photos "professionally" of indoor cricket, indoor netball, and so on... but I prefer doing video or just unwinding by going on a drive somewhere to find wildlife/nature.

lol hi David,

What state are you based in? I'm looking to get more sporting teams photography work in Queensland.

I'll be keen to see some of your shots. I do a bit of action stuff occasionally too, but just for myself really. I find it harder to get paid work in that area. Even the pro action guys I bump into sometimes are saying it's getting harder as the newspapers disappear.

I work for Action Indoor Sports Queensland as the Social Media Manager, and a part of that means going to various centres and generating content for the pages.

I've been at this for about 3 years, and I've finally hit a point where my gear isn't embarrassing and incredibly limiting. That's my precursor to saying "please don't judge my Canon 750d photos too harshly" haha. There's a couple of albums on here that aren't mine, but still:

As for paid work, it's pretty rough with indoor sport over the last few years, especially since Cricket Australia signed a deal with Getty Images and now all major events are shot by them.
