Practising in Christchurch
Running a photography business in Christchurch
Clients are found through the sectors' own networks: real-estate offices and developers, the construction firms and architects rebuilding the centre, Canterbury's A&P associations and rural suppliers, tourism operators and the regional tourism organisation, and the wedding venues on Banks Peninsula and in the high country. Christchurch is a city where a good reputation in one sector travels quickly to the next.
Costs are lower than in Auckland: travel is easy, parking is manageable and the light means fewer studio days. The course's cash-flow work helps you see what a real-estate package or a family session needs to cost to be worth doing, and the contracts and licensing modules matter for commercial and architectural work, where usage rights are often worth more than the shoot.

“I found the course very informative and really enjoyed how I could do each module at my own pace. Deb was very responsive and provided valuable and encouraging feedback. I especially liked how detailed the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom modules were and the video resources. The course has definitely given me a solid foundation to build upon and I realise I am heading in the right direction with photography.”
