Every comms team struggles with getting good photography. Whether it's finding the talent to volunteer or it's how photographers turn in photos to use or even training them to know what photos you will need, photography impacts your social media, website, and promotional graphics profoundly!
So I talked to a guy who has basically mastered this issue at every step, Zach Zamora. He is the Media and Communications Pastor at New Life Church in Corpus Christi, TX and we talk extensively about how to get good volunteers, train them, get great photos, and how to actually GET them!

In this week's episode, I'm going to open up about my journey down the road from youth ministry to communications. I talk about transitions and how I began learning from others until I realized a central truth: a person is only as strong as his/her network. When I realized I couldn't make the transition alone and that I had access to the best of the best just because I had the internet, it forever changed my life. Let me share what I've learned with you.
