Anita Bromley

 

Anita Bromley

Having an interest in photography at a young age saw Anita borrowing her father’s SLR to snap away on B&W film only to have to wait over a week and hand out a substantial amount of money just to see if the images turned out. It’s no surprise once the digital revolution began and DSLR’s became affordable she picked up the camera again. Loving the freedom to play with the camera with immediate results she is continually striving for that ‘perfect’ shot.

Attending her first Photography Workshop with Bluedog as a student back in 2008 changed the way Anita viewed her own photography and with the workshops continually motivating her she quickly became a self confessed ‘Bluedog Workshop addict”! In late 2009 Anita was invited to join the Bluedog team as a Tutor and hasn’t looked back. “I love seeing those light bulb moments when what we are teaching ‘clicks’. It’s extremely rewarding."

Anita believes all photos should convey an emotion to others even if they are not related to the subject in the photo. Her main passion is low light/night photography, however she is happy simply to have the camera in her hands and the opportunity to click away.

 


Cathy Finch

 

Cathy Finch

Cathy works as a freelance photographer and travel journalist, submitting regularly to many leading newspaper, magazine and guide book titles.  Having previously worked as a newspaper photographer shooting news, sport, entertainment and features, it could be said that Cathy thrives on documentary photography and deadlines.  But she is at her happiest however, in the midst of travel and adventure - climbing mountains, jumping off them, rafting rapids, surfing jungles and off-road four-wheel-driving through choking bulldust and giant sand drifts, with a camera roped firmly to her body.

Cathy’s images are represented by the world’s leading travel image gallery, Lonely Planet Images, and she currently continues to shoot news jobs for the Courier Mail in the Toowoomba and Darling Downs region.  Cathy was the 2009 ASTW Excellence in Journalism Award Winner for “Best Image Taken in Australia".

Mel first started at Bluedog as a student herself, proving the only limitations in life are those you place on yourself!

Mel’s high motivation, ability to problem solve, passion for art and photography, coupled with her ability to quickly learn new and complex technologies and applications and then implement them make her a valuable member of the Bluedog Team.
