Craig Wetjen of www.craigwetjen.com has been a professional photographer in Australia and the US for 31 years. He has a string of awards that would make any photographer proud and he's been exhibited on numerous occasions and he's arguably best known for his book… Men and Their Shed where he photographed and captured the stories of 101 men and their backyard sheds.
I found myself at many points in my career so far, which is still going, that I get wallowed up with looking on the other side of the fence rather than looking in my own backyard, and looking at my own ideas, and doing my own thing, and not worrying about what’s going on out behind you but look out what’s going ahead of you in your own two feet, in your own backyard – Craig Wetjen
In addition to his accolades and photography, Craig has taught SEO and web marketing for photographers. This guy is one accomplished photographer and I'm rapt to have him for this interview where we go deep into personal photography projects and everything that goes into creating something you will be truly proud of.
Here’s some of what we cover:

Life is not always about money. It's about doing what you love. You know they say if you do whatever you love, you never have to work a day in your life. And I just wanted to do what I love. Selling prints was an absolute bonus – Craig Wetjen
