Bianca has recently won two gold awards at the NZ AIPP print awards, spent time judging alongside some top Australian and Kiwi photographers and is planning a two day creative and composite workshop in Queenstown later this year. She's been in business as a photographer for over 25 years and is as passionate about photography and business as ever… so much so that she's about to open “FLAUNT”, a brand new glamour studio in the centre of Aukland New Zealand.
Here's some more of what we cover:
Following this interview, I'd love to believe that you'll be in a better position to combine your love of photography, in particular your photography style and the possibility of having a successful business where you can combine the two… just as Bianca has.

Price Rise for NEW Premium Memberships
In the last couple of episodes I mentioned the price for Premium Membership will be doubling this month… that’s right DOUBLING to a massive (sarcasm) $20 per month. The good news is that for existing members, they will continue to stay at the existing rate of $10 per month – that will not change.
So… if you’ve been thinking about a Membership, now is the time to check it out. Get in at the existing and soon to be old and existing rate of $10 per month. Why the change?
Primarily, the content is worth it. I’ve received email after email form members that have seen just incredible results after implementing what they’ve been hearing in the interviews.
Secondly, the “back catalogue” has grown to be a terrific resource that new members instantly get full access to the minute they start their membership.
The price will be going up before the end of the month – September 2014.
Here's a recent comment from premium listener Tara Eveland following the episode with Zach Prez.
Sorry to jump in here but I just wanted to say that if you listen every week as I do and you love it, the $10 a month is SO WORTH IT, and get in now before it goes up closer to what it's actually WORTH lol.
I've told Andrew it should be more, there is SO MUCH valuable stuff there. And you get ALL the past info and episodes as well.
But for real you should get the premium and lock in the 10 bucks!

Fantastic Andrew and Biancia, Very interesting and inspiring interview. Its encouraging to watch other fine art photographers excel and profit with this line of portraiture. Its dear to my heart and im working hard to bring my work out to my local area and get clients interested in what i can also produce.
Your work is very exciting Biancia, im certainly a fan and quite observer thank you for sharing your journey. Big thank you Andrew.
Looking forward to the Premium content.
Kylie
Great to hear you enjoyed the interview Kylie – you were one photographer I had in mind with my line of questioning for Bianca. Love your work and I know you’ll be in high demand once word spreads about your talent.
Great interview! Wow, what a Photographer! Her works look like paintings. Geeez! Just amazing.
Joey Joiner
Thanks Joey… agreed, amazing work!
Great interview! Bianca’s confidence in her ability to be successful when branching out into new types of photography is inspiring.
Thanks Gillian – it’s almost impossible to envisage Bianca failing at whatever she pursues after talking to her. I’m sure her confidence has a lot to with that and I agree… she is an inspiration.
Brilliant photos. I also appreciated the advice on the third party marketing. Very clever. Don’t worry – I won’t move to NZ and use it against you Bianca 🙂
Haha, I’m sure Bianca will appreciate you staying in Canberra Nicholas. 🙂
