Did you miss the full episode of The Focal Plane Podcast that Liz recorded a month ago?

With all the noise of the gumball comics competition, you be forgiven if you did! So, here's another chance to hear our conversation and find out a bit about how and why we do what we do: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/samir-khan-gp_thefocalplane-podcastclip-graphicdesign-activity-7405154499096485888-IaMV?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAIULa4Bs9bF9Ts5F7camWXfj1OiIptThZM

Our thanks again go to Samir Khan of Sam Khan Photography and André Zeferino of BlindLens Media. They are the absolute best at what they do and put me at my ease straight away - Liz is not normally comfortable in front of cameras at all!

We at Grafica would trust both of them with any job, no matter how important. If there's a one-chance shot to get, they won't miss it! They're also very lovely people to work with and make a great team. For any event, brochure or other photo or video needs, please give them a call - you won't regret it!

The full episode of The Focal Plane Podcast featuring guest Liz Brooks of Grafica by the Sea is now live on YouTube! This episode was hosted by Sam Khan Photography & BLINDLENS | MEDIA.
