Listen Later

Raymond and Callum demonstrate that photography success doesn't depend on having expensive gear; even entry-level kits can create stunning results. They each showcase a photo of their own—Raymond shoots an engagement session at a state park—taken at F8, and edited exclusively with JPEGs.
