Beyond The Beacon podcast 119 – The Good News Workshop: Creating better photos with Joe Gigli #Catholic –
How can we all create better photos? This week we get to know Joe Gigli, the gifted, long-time photographer for The Beacon and the Diocese of Paterson. Gigli shares how he got into photography, offers insight into how he thinks about creating images, and shares a few tips and tricks.
Gigli’s interview kicks off a new podcast segment titled The Good News Workshop. This intermittent segment will feature interviews with experts in different areas of communications, so we can be inspired and educated to be the best communicators and storytellers we can be as we spread the Good News of our faith in our parishes, schools, and throughout the diocese.
