Hey Crew! So, it’s been a while coming and I have no other excuse than being crazy busy working over Summer…
Definitely not a great excuse.
Anyways, a while ago I started working on a piece that involved catching up with a few of my favorite local photographers.
Here’s what they had to say about doing what they love for a living and giving people a different view of the world.

What kind of camera are you using at the moment?
Canon 7D – sigma 10-20 – tamron 18-270 – Sigma 50-500 – canon 50 prime
What style of photography do you prefer?
My Passions in life are travel and photography so I love taking photos of everything I see on the road, everything from the beautiful scenes I come across to the people I meet and the wildlife I see. My dream is to share the journey, to inspire others to take the leap and start an adventure of their own to broaden their mind.
What is your favorite thing to photograph?
My favorite thing to photograph is wildlife because it is unpredictable and exciting. There is no time to set up the perfect scene but instead an instant that if you miss, it’s gone.
Who or what inspires you?
My inspiration is anyone who has the courage to step out of their comfort zone and take a risk, especially those who take that risk to capture something amazing
Where do you see photography taking you over the next five years?
Over the next 5 years I see myself exploring and taking photos and slowly but surely becoming recognised within the travel photography genre, first of all my next shoot in Africa, which I leave for in 4 weeks. I also have goals of publishing a hard cover coffee table book.
Matt is currently shooting amazing photos in Africa that can be found at www.facebook/howdoyousee or on instagram at @howdoyousee.
MATT SEDUNARY
Name. Matthew Sedunary
Business Name. Matt Sedunary Photography
Age. 30
Location. Melbourne
Home-town. Melbourne
What kind of camera do you use?
Canon 7D
What style of photography are you into? Basically I just love to make something appear differently than what it would to the naked eye.
What is your favorite thing to photograph? Nature is probably my favorite thing to shoot but I really enjoy shooting a lot of different stuff. I love the discovery of trying something new and getting a good result.
Who or what is your inspiration? It sounds kinda corny but inspiration is all around us, in nature, architecture, animals, a beautiful face, anything really.
But if you need something a bit more obvious, the internet is an endless source of ideas, inspiration and motivation, these days.
Definitely seeing friends succeeding in photography is a real inspiration.
Where do you see photography taking you in the next five years? My main goal is to keep enjoying photography. If I can make a career out of it and continue to enjoy it, that would be great.
