How do you think 2023 is looking for the industry (from your perspective)? Do you have any predictions? 

I think we are looking towards a busier year, we’ve seen a steady increase in work post covid and predict a busier year.

What advice would you give photographers looking to prepare themselves for leaner times?

Diversify, including film or content creation in your portfolio will open you up for more work opportunities.

Can you recommend 3 things they should consider now to prepare for the year ahead? 

1. Be front of mind, contact via e-mail, phone and social media as many commissioners as possible.

2. Give back i.e. mentor

3.  Be open to opportunity 

Are there key pitfalls they should avoid?

Be careful of cost wars, know your own worth!
