John DeMato is an extraordinary photographer who works with speakers to get their personalities out to the world through what he refers to as Visual Punctuation. He understands that an actual portrayal of who a person truly is will not only get them speaking engagements but will get you more business as well. People tend to want to be around other people who are like them, so being relatable is not only a good thing, it's human. John works with speakers and business owners so that they don't pose pretending to work while staring at the camera. He also shares his views on what makes great content, and drops a lot of food for thought that you can think about and apply to your own online presence!
