In this episode we take a question from a listener that focuses on the concept of having good shots out of the back of our camera and how much we should really be relying on software to save or make the final image pop. We discuss the ratio of frontend vs. backend work of a photographer and where we think a healthy and realistic balance is. Frontend being filming, photographing, editing, etc. and backend being, creating pitch decks, emailing, networking, etc. We also discuss common emotional responses when both giving and receiving advice and how this line of communication can be faulty.Thanks to OnCore Golf for being this episode's sponsor!Submit your name and email and be entered to win the entire grand prize of:$300 : One OnCore Leather Golf Bag$35 : 1 OnCore Fairway/Driver Head Cover$20 : 1 OnCore Towel$25 : 1 OnCore Beer Cooler$150 : 3 Dozen OnCore Golf Balls (winner chooses which model)$250 : Free OnCore Club VIP Membership (gives you early arrivals of new products, automatic entry into experiential Sweepstakes like our celebrity cup, 25% off everything, free shipping and free customization)Enter the Grand Prize Giveaway here:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1raPe4EAOJWqbqRG-EThk8_9Bt35WMrE56lM6ThflBho/Make a donation via PayPal for any amount you feel is equal to the value you receive from our podcast episodes!
