My Second Entirely Self Produced and Edited Video - Porgy Packout

by Matt Raynor
While accumulating clips and shots for my coming video about my accident I had the pleasure of filming the Mary Elizabeth packing porgys. I put together a quick video for you guys explaining Porgy fishing and a little bit about a fisherman's life. All the while learning filming and editing techniques. I hope you enjoy, this is new territory for me.  The Berglin's for being awesome in general and also letting me film. And thanks to the pack out dock!

I've been busy getting all my ducks in a row when it comes to running a photography business as I would love to continue this as my career. So while I haven't been active on social media posting I've been extremely busy getting the licenses and starting the business. That and figuring out how to run it! Keep tuned in, I had an amazing photo shoot over the weekend and can't wait to share the photos with you guys.
