Focused Photographers Podcast
Daniel Moyer
We've all been to a motivational conference or workshop. The presenters are inspirational, but the real learning happens outside the classroom. Microphones, pens, and paper are exchanged for drinks and snacks. Conversations flow as photographers share how they do business. The destination for each photographer is the same, but how we get, there is so vastly different.
