Running a photography business in Dunedin
Dunedin's photography economy is seasonal and institutional. The cruise season and the wildlife tourism peak from October to April; university graduations and semester rhythms shape the portrait calendar; winter is quieter for both, which is when a photographer here does the commercial, heritage and interior work. The course's cash-flow module is especially relevant: students learn to price for a year, not a month, and to plan for the quiet season.
Clients are found through a small number of networks: the tourism operators and the Peninsula's wildlife businesses, the university's colleges, departments and communications teams, Enterprise Dunedin and the heritage organisations, the hospitality sector and the wedding venues at Larnach Castle and Central Otago. Dunedin is small enough that reliability and a good reputation matter more than marketing spend, and the course's client-management module is where that shows up.

“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.”
