In this inspiring talk, Margaret Soraya shares the ups and downs, the pivots and challenges and her journey through life with a camera.

A plan to be a part-time wedding photographer soon evolved into a successful business, later pivoting towards landscape photography – developing invaluable skills along the way.

Margaret now has 20 years of professional photography experience, including portraiture, commercial, property, food, landscape as well as her wedding photography.

She’s navigated many highs and lows, continuing to adapt and evolve to keep her business profitable. A story of perseverance against the odds and dedication to living a creative life.

You’ll hear how photography has given Margaret the freedom to live a creative life true to her own passions. Come along to hear her stories and be inspired to follow your own dreams!
