Alan McBride
Photographer (Sydney, Australia)
I am a Sydney based photographer and writer with a great love of France, Wildlife, Travel and many other subjects.
Camera wise I prefer wildlife photography however, I resort to product and other commercial work with a fellow photographer and studio owner in Annandale, Sydney.
I intersperse photography with writing and through travel-writing I am often able to fill both roles. When that doesn't gel, I spend time rewriting web page content for various clients, producing brochures, marketing material, etc.
It's ideal when I am able to photograph and write on the same subject and even better if this is in France! I am always available for assignments in France, Australia or anywhere ... I have a smattering of French language skills although it always benefits with a couple of months in situ.
I have worked in sales & marketing within the advertising industry for many years and spent a number of years restoring under-performing assets for large corporations. None of the above are as much fun as being out with a camera. I have spent the last ten years in the photojourno sector or simply put: taking pictures and writing stories....
Given my background I have a fine understanding of what a client wants and how to deliver it and how to do this on time and courteously.
Some travel and wildlife shots are on http://www.alanmcbride.com.au along with a little more background information and links to other sites such as LInkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, etc. All of the above is combined with social media and networking skills for clients and other interested people.
In brief, I'm a Photographer, a Writer, a Francophile, a Bon Vivant, an Aspiring eccentric ;-) that would love to work full time in France although always happy with assignment work there.
