Adam Pretty Explained

Pretty grew up in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and attended Sydney Boys High School where his interest in photography began, and he developed his initial skills in using a camera. After school Pretty worked as a freelance photographer and began his career by finally landing his first job with the Sydney Morning Herald in 1997.
