Well known for its pristine beaches and warm weather, Miami is also called The Sunshine City. With its wild nightlife and diverse architecture, the idea of capturing a bird’s-eye-view on such a vibrant city holds a lot of excitement for many local industries, from tourism to architecture. Another huge Miami attraction is the many shipwrecks below the water around it, as well as its proximity to the Everglades. Because of these factors, Miami aerial photography is special in how many facets of this area it can reveal. And while an aerial photographer can work all over the world, Miami is a perfect town to have a homebase because of the diversity in what one can capture. From wildlife areas that usually command a distance from humanity to the many often-unseen levels of a coastline revealed in its amazingly clear water, aerial photography in Miami is packed with an endless amount of potential for an adventurous spirit.

Austin is known by many for its live music, famed alternative culture, and big tech industry presence. It is also known for its food. Home to around 1,000 food trucks, Austin has influenced the rest of the country to adopt the same trend, though no one yet has caught up to the capital of Texas. Its year-round warm weather makes it easier to be outdoors and enjoy the experience of finding, potentially, any kind of food you’re looking for. There are also an estimated 6,000 restaurants sporting just as much culinary diversity, yet its Tex-Mex, barbecue, and, perhaps above all, breakfast tacos make for some of its biggest draws. It also has a legendary rivalry with San Antonio as to who invented the breakfast taco, let alone who perfected it. For dessert lovers, Austin’s official plate is pecan pie, while health aficionados can take solace in it being the home of the first Whole Foods as well as 23 urban farms that actively supply many local restaurants. Knowing all this, an Austin food photographer can flourish as an important part of advertising one of the most vital parts of the local culture and economy.

Sydney is the largest and most populous city in Australia. Often featured in lists of the world’s most liveable and culturally diverse cities, it is also one of the world’s most expensive. Yet, as a finance hub where many corporations have their headquarters, business is good, and this makes Sydney the top location for shopping, culture, and entertainment in the New South Wales region. Retail and manufacturing are two of the city’s largest industries, which makes product photography an important element in a city where the competition between businesses can only be as vast as its size and population. Often a consumer’s first impression of a product is a photograph displayed in online stores, print advertisements, or physical packaging. This can give a talented product photographer in Sydney not only an important task but also the potential for a very lucrative career.
