Gavin Wade was a southern California wedding photographer, shooting over 500 weddings when he recognized that there was a huge gap in what he needed to give clients an A+ experience delivering their photos, and what was actually available. Gavin went on to start CloudSpot which is my client delivery gallery of choice. 

In 2022 CloudSpot is making a huge push #EmpoweingPhotographers. Since CloudSpot is made by photographers, they have insight into the things we need most, that would make our life better, easier, more profitable, so I invited Gavin on the show to talk about what #EmpoweringPhtoographers looks like and what that means for you!
