Description
Hey, it’s Matt (@mattdoddphoto). I’m talking wedding photography, the stuff they don’t teach you in school, and all the behind the scenes realities of being a photographer. From fun tips on lighting, posing, editing, business, social media and more, I share what I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) and chat with other creatives too. Sit back, relax, and let’s chat photography!
