This week on Photo Chat with Matt, we’re diving deep into life lessons—because being a great photographer isn’t just about nailing the technical skills. Matt (@mattdoddphoto) shares why personal growth and self-improvement are just as important as sharpening your craft, both behind the lens and beyond.

We’re also reading your amazing “life lessons” submissions and talking about the return of Pumpkin Spice season! (Yes, it’s officially that time of year again—ALL THE VIBES!)

Whether you’re here for the photography insights, life advice, or just a fun chat about autumn essentials, this episode has something for everyone. So grab your favorite fall drink, cozy up, and tune in to Photo Chat with Matt!
