Dream Job Ready Episode 09: Michelle Grace Hunder (Professional Music Photographer & Documentary Filmmaker).

Do you dream of being a professional photographer? This episode of Dream Job Ready features guest Michelle Grace Hunder, who makes a living photographing musicians all over the world.

Michelle broke into professional photography about a decade ago and has played an integral role in documenting, promoting and showcasing Australian music, especially Aussie hip hop and Australian female musicians.

She’s photographed hundreds of international artists... from intimate personal portraits with the likes of Raekwon and Miguel, album covers for Briggs and Camp Cope, and hundreds of live concerts and festivals. She's also the tour photographer for young superstar artist Ruel.

This episode is packed with value and Michelle shares plenty of honest advice about making it in photography. She’s talks about the hard work... the long hours... and the need to self-motivate. She shares advice about time management and how to juggle work, travel, business and a home life. She discusses what it’s like to be working with and for musicians and celebrities - and the importance of reading the room, respecting the artist building relationships and the importance of trust.
