John DeMato, fellow brand photographer, went from photographing speakers and consultants to suffering from Covid-19 symptoms and having no work overnight. On a whim he picked up his camera and created a new product that works in the socially-distanced pandemic era and he’ll continue to offer when the business world shifts again.

- Why using on-stage photos can be tone-deaf in today’s age
- Speakers are finding they’re required to provide virtual speaker reels to keep booking jobs now
