See this content in the original post

This Week is a little different. Indianapolis Wedding Photographer Raymond Hatfield talks about what it takes to be a good photographer. When I got a message from Lorena, a fellow listener asking "If gear doesn't make you a good photographer, what does?" I knew I had missed something in the podcast. If she was asking this question Im sure you are too! So I pushed this weeks episode back to release this one first because it ties in too well to next weeks episode!

  • What Raymond was up to this week
