Sarah Andersons Capture Tree Project. A fruitful harvest of peers from the ACMP - ACMP

05 May, 2013

Sarah Anderson who has been working with Trampoline Melbourne for the last few years shares about what she gets out of being part of the project.
In 2009, after many years of assisting and a two and a half year stint in Canada I decided it was time to break up with my assisting career and start my photography business. It was so scary to stop assisting and get out there with my folio and show everyone. But the hardest part was spending days, weeks and months on the phone trying to book meetings.
I was lucky that I had experienced photographers to call on for advice and support and give me cheap rent at a studio to get me started.
