The Drinks At Work podcast is back after a few weeks off — I can recommend a few bottles of beer on a Fijian beach to anyone, by the way. My guest today is a good friend and possibly Australia’s most prolific drinks photographer, Christopher Pearce. We worked together for years when I was the editor at Australian Bartender, and Chris’ work spans the world of food and drink, shooting with bars, bartenders and commercial clients — he did some great work around the release of Morris whisky last year.

On this episode Chris talks about he broke into the world of photography, how and why he came to specialise as a food and drink shooter, and why persistence pays off. He shares advice for anyone wanting to get paid to photograph drinks, as well as some sage advice on what the freelancer life is like.

He’s as good as they get, which is why this episode runs a little longer than usual — there was a lot I wanted to learn from him, too.
