Who is behind My Photo Career?
Hi beautiful people!
I thought I had better introduce myself so you know who is behind this page :) My name is Nathan Devine and I am based in a small coastal town called Gerringong which is 2hrs south of Sydney in Australia.
Getting Started in Photography
30 years ago I started my photography journey photographing musicians at a pub called The Kelts Bar which was a short drive from home at the time. I love watching live music and I had a passion for photography, so when the two came together I was in my element. After a few weeks of shooting bands that were playing on the weekends, the manager of the venue approached me and asked if he could buy my images to cover an entire wall of the pub of local bands. I was so excited and thrilled at the realisation that I could make money from doing what I love that I didn’t know what else to say other that a big excited “YES”, it was a real shift in perspective for me. From that moment on I decided to study photography, I wanted to know everything and I wanted to be good at it.
Fast forward 30 years later and I am just as hungry to learn everything I can about photography. My career has been exciting, challenging and varied, working in areas of photography such as news, food, products, portraits and real estate. I also tacked on a few careers in that time as well including graphic design and property renovation.
Time for Change
If I can go back 11 years to 2014 and be completely honest and transparent, I hit a low in my life and couldn’t see a way out. I had been running my photography and graphic design studio for 12 years, I was chained to a desk 5 days per week either editing photos with not much shooting going on, or designing marketing material for other businesses. I had lost my passion and I needed a major change of lifestyle. Later that same year, my mum passed away from MS (Multiple Sclerosis).
Making Money
When I launched my new business model (Trend Photography) on 1 July 2018 (which was purely Real Estate Photography), the first six months I averaged $1,396 per week, the following six months I averaged $2,173 per week. It ticked all of my requirements that I was looking for, it provided more income than any of my previous businesses, and it gave me enormous flexibility and freedom while working an average of only 3 days per week. I am absolutely loving my business and I truly feel that I have found my dream career. It takes me to some of the most beautiful destinations, I get to see coast lines and mountains at all times of the day that I would not normally get to see. It provides me with the time to exercise, to drop my kids to school and pick them up, it provides me with a comfortable level of income with the choice to increase it at anytime by working more days, although I have to say that 3 days per week works just fine for me right now ๐
Learn How to Photograph Houses
What I want to do now is show people how they can achieve the income, flexibility and lifestyle they have always wanted to get from a photography career. I want to show you how you can create this for yourself, using my system that has taken 20 years of business experience to develop so that you can hit the ground running and learn from all of my mistakes. That is the reason why I created the Real Estate Photography MASTERCLASS.
If you're ready to uplevel your camera skills and start creating the income and lifestyle you desire you can join the masterclass here. If you you are completely new to photography and want to start learning for free, you can join my Real Estate Photography FUNDAMENTALS course right here.
I look forward to seeing you on the inside!
Wishing you every success, Nath
