Darryl Stringer has been a professional photographer in Australia since 1998.

Since then Darryl has been a full-time photography coach, working alongside photographers in the US, Canada, Australia and beyond. He helps photographers build their business, guides them towards making great choices, and provides the tools and resources that will enable them to be as successful as they want to be.
