We're trying something different this week. Connor Croak, Dayton Allen (Gabaghoul Media), Eric Ryon, and Eddie Balisalisa get together to talk about photography and videography in the drifting scene.They discuss how they got started, getting paid for media work, and what makes a good drifting photo or video. Everyone also brings some of their favorite shots to share and talk about.This one's pretty heavy on the visuals, so we recommend watching the video version.@[email protected]@lilchamporado@ericryonCheck out our Sponsors!SimpleTire:USE CODE 15% OFF: factionmotorsportsAG1:Check out our AG1 affiliate link:⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shop.drinkag1.com/FACTION⁠⁠⁠⁠You will receive a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler, plus a bottle of Vitamin D3+K2 with your AG1 Welcome Kit, when you first subscribe (a $72 value!).⁠⁠⁠⁠⁨@drinkAG1⁩ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ #ag1partnerEAST COAST DRIFT SCHOOL:@eastcoastdriftschoolCHASE BAYS:@chasebayshttps://www.chasebays.com/LIMITLESS AUTO FAB:@limitless_auto_fabhttps://limitlessautofab.com/RAMSTEAD MFG:https://ramsteadmfg.com/We have a Patreon!
