Doing as her mother told her launched Fay Looney into an awesome photographic career.
“She rang me up one day and said ‘there is a little job in the paper for six weeks selling school photography to country schools, you should apply for it.’ So I did what my mother told me and got the job.”
The job was selling photos for an Australian Company to schools throughout New Zealand.
“It was a new school photography company that came into country in the late 70s. They wanted sales people to go to the schools and put things in place for the photographers to come along and take the photos. I come from a sales background so I joined as a sales person.
