We're Back!!

Welcome Back!!


We are announcing speakers or some news every week on a Wednesdsay - EVERY WEDNESDAY.


Yes, we're teasing it out :)


For any new people booking, you hear every speaker! You do not have to choose between speakers you want to listen to. You hear everyone.


We have 12 speakers this year. Once again we have had amazing support and ideas from our speakers. They are a wonderful collection of successful and sharing people. 


Yes we have women speakers too. Portrait and wedding. No names yet but let us entice you...

  • Two leading wedding photographers with totally new presentations not seen before.
  • Two wedding studios, newish talent, who are rising stars in the industry. Haven't spoken anywhere before but they will after this
  • A photoshop and lightroom experienced teacher who will be presenting something for those new and experienced at photoshop.
  • Two experienced female portrait photographers with 10-30 years in business. They have distinctive styles and will be talking photography, workflow and business. Haven't spoken at AE before.
  • A marketing and business expert in the photography field. An awesome speaker we could listen to for a week. Will be giving  guidance and strategies for us all to use through the different stages of business.
  • The Shadow.....whose name will be revealed when he/she takes the microphone.
We have a few surprises in store on top of this and will be announcing them over the next 17 weeks.

Of the twelve speakers, four are returning to August Exposure and 8 are new. 


Don't forget, the networking, the FUN and the laughter that we've had over the last two years. 


Every year we get fabulous comments about how much August Exposure encourages, spurs on, boosts, invigorates and inspires everyone who attends.


Can't wait to see you in August!

Australia's top photographic educators all in the same place at the same time!!!

FOUR DAYS OF CONCENTRATED LEARNING WITH SPEAKERS AS THEY TEACH THEIR TECHNIQUES FOR PHOTOGRAPHING AND SELLING.

FROM INEXPERIENCED, NEW PHOTOGRAPHERS TO MASTERS OF THE CRAFT, THESE WORKSHOPS ARE FOR ALL WHO WANT TO TAKE THEIR IMAGES TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND BEYOND.

Wedding and portrait photographers today have to be business people, marketers, PR professionals, bookkeepers, market analysts, innovators, computer experts and of course photographic artists. We have to always update our information and education to stay on top of new products and demands as well as stay in business. We can expect a lifetime of learning to be ahead of us. To own or use a camera does not make a professional photographer.


August Exposure has been created to help wedding and portrait photographers gain experience and lessons from other photographers at all levels of the industry. What better way is there to learn? The speakers have been in business for two years, ten years or more years than they want to count.

The experienced photographers can share their mistakes so you don’t repeat them and their success’s, so you can repeat them. A photographer with ten years experience has come through the hard years and is ready for the next cycle and set of goals. This may be to work smarter, not harder or it could be that they wish to put more effort into growing the business now they have systems in place. A photographer with two years experience is going through a steep learning curve and trying to stay financially viable. This is the hardest stage and is when many photographers go broke or give up. This is not the time to give up, this is the time to look at your business and improve it.


Your photography expertise is part of the business growth. What is your style or do you even have a style? What is your market strength? Should you change what you are doing and if so how? Do you wish to win awards? How can you differentiate from the rest of the photographers? What will our market be looking for in the next few years? What are we going through in the current economic climate?


You are not alone out there as you go through these challenges. We will help you with your portrait creativity and business.


Everyone stands on the shoulders of giants some time in their careers. The speakers at August Exposure have all done this and now they want to pass it on. You will leave the seminars with ideas to move you through the next level of your photography.


The seminar covers photography, marketing and business.

The photography business is a dynamic beast, constantly changing and challenging, so the experienced photographer who stays ahead of the challenges will want to be at this seminar. You can email Rob or myself at the August Exposure address for any queries. Can't wait to see you in person.

ANSWERS TO A FEW FAQ's:
You do not choose between speakers. Each speaker will be featured exclusively and everyone will hear each speaker. ie. All speakers will be in the ballroom and they will speak one at a time.
