#39 – Not just education. 5 reasons why conferences are important for food photographers with Abbey Rodriguez

My food lens podcast episode with Abbey Rodriguez

Today we talk about the world of conferencing!

Everyone has been to a conference before, huge ballrooms filled with thousands of people just trying to navigate yourself through the crowd to see that one speaker you came all the way for.  You end the conference with a whole load of information and a pocket full of business cards. 

But what is a conference could be more than that. What if it was a life-changing experience, a game-changer in our creative journey? 

Our Guest, Abbey Rodriguez tells us all about conferences and why they’re important for food content creators.
