SUMMARY:Are you a Photo Hoarder?
DESCRIPTION:Danie’s First Lunch Hour Podcast \nDo you find yourself holding onto thousands of images\, hoping one day they’ll find a purpose? In Danie’s first Lunch Hour\, 30-minute podcast\, he will be discussing the dilemma many photographers face: keeping a mountain of shots we’ll never use and sometimes even sharing mediocre ones\, instead of getting rid of them from the onset! \nIt’s time to confront the clutter. Why settle for second-rate when you could be building a collection of your best work? Danie shares tips on how to cull effectively and shoot with intention\, focusing on quality over quantity. By trimming down your images\, you’ll not only gain control over your workflow but also become a more efficient and ultimately happier photographer! \nJoin Danie on this journey to reclaim your time and refocus your craft. We’d love you to check in on our very first episode. Your support and participation mean the world to us! \n  \nMEETING LINK
