Building a professional portfolio in Dunedin
The University of Otago is the second market: graduation seasons, research and communications imagery, and the colleges' and clubs' constant need for portraits and events. Dunedin's screen sector is small but real, anchored by natural-history production, so stills that show you can work quietly around wildlife have a local audience.
Property is a modest market; weddings favour Larnach Castle, the Peninsula and Central Otago venues, so vineyard and mountain portraiture belongs in a Dunedin portfolio too. Show work at the Dunedin Photographic Society and look at Blue Oyster and the Dunedin Public Art Gallery for what contemporary photography looks like here; enter the NZIPP Iris Awards for a professional benchmark. The Business Photography Course follows this one.
