OUR 3 SPEAKERS
TRAVIS HAYTO of SoCo Studios
Travis is the creative lead and driving force behind SoCo Studios, a Perth-based production company known for high-quality photo and video work. He's spent his career at the intersection of creativity and commerce, helping brands look their best while keeping productions running smoothly. When he's not on set, he's deep in the business side of things, from client strategy to contracts.
Travis doesn't deal in hype, this session is a straight-up look at how SoCo Studios is putting AI to work. He'll walk through the tangible tools and systems his team uses daily, covering everything from AI-assisted content creation to the operational workflows running behind the scenes. Expect insights, practical takeaways, and a ground-level view of what AI actually looks like inside a modern creative business.
BEN MCCOY of Goodlife Portraits
Ben McCoy built Good Life Portraits from the back of a car in 2016 into a full-time Perth studio — 5,000+ sessions, 640+ five-star reviews, eight years of figuring out what actually works.
This session is about the thing nobody told him when he started: how a solo photographer actually builds a business behind the lens, and how AI has just collapsed the time it takes to get there. Honest, practical, and made for photographers who'd rather be shooting than figuring out funnels.
