The most valuable knowledge I have gained from other photographers has been through shadowing them/watching them work AND other photographers telling me what type of programs and software that they use.
Those moments have always been game-changers for me.
I have been able to grow or elevate my business over the years with the knowledge other photographers have shared with me.
And now I am sharing a long list of them programs and software that we have used for our business!
Here are the programs:
