A day in the life of a photographer part 1 - Two nude portraits & pole dance competition

**WARNING** This video contains partial nudity.

Today I take you along for a full day of shooting - to see what is really involved in being a pro photographer. Note we got hundreds of great photos - I just couldn't share them all here unfortunately.

Today I had two commercial nude portrait sessions, both of which were fantastic, surprising, and fun - and a pole dance competition at a nightclub on Oxford St Sydney.

Come along and see behind the scenes - from shot set up, dealing with subjects, to back up... and waiting for people to arrive!

These are facinating and informative videos The subjects you photographed were beautiful.

I would like to see a video of you entering a location and pointing out the different shooting spaces there, like the instructers appartment.

also how do you find of book locations like that office for doing glamour or nude shoots or places like pools, gardens, roofs, junk, yards ect? as a professional photographer it must be easier that if you were an amateur or hobbiest.

@brent847 cheers - can do. I have done the location scouting in other videos, will try to include in more future videos.

nice stuff. you get some nice gigs but it looks rewarding & hard work..Really surprised though that you leave some gear in your car..That's tempting fate...

@xboxcrazee cheers. It was a very public area - and not possible to take all the gear into a crowded club.
