For the Emerging Photographer
Bounce is a regular meeting designed to be an informal ideas exchange for students, assistants and emerging photographers. It is primarily aimed at Trampoline members but is open to any “emerging photographer.” As working photographers, we rarely get to spend time with other photographers just enthusing about the images. Bounce will set a regular creative challenge as well as encourage emerging photographers to bring work in for an open discussion and feedback.

MEETING DETAILS
When  & where: 

Well after a rather long hiatus, the monthly Sydney Trampoline meetings are back!

The next Sydney meeting will be taking place on March 26th at ACP again, 6.30 for 7pm. We will be talking about making the transition from Assistant to Photographer 

It was originally intended to be happening next Wednesday 18th March BUT due to the gallery being used this week and next week the meeting will be happening THURSDAY 26th March.

Hope you can make it, The topic for the coming meeting is marketing and self promotion, we will be hearing from a round table of speakers including a celebrity portrait photographer, who spent 12 years in New York and L.A, A producer who is running a very successful agency here in Sydney and and Art Buyer for a very well known Ad agency.

 This meeting will be insightful, please come armed with any questions you would like to ask our guests about marketing yourself to clients and how to promote your skills.

The meetings are targeted at addressing the important issues emerging photographers and assistants face while transitioning from  study or working for someone else, to shooting and setting up your own photography business.
