68: Photographer Jon Cavalier

About this episode

Jon Cavalier discusses his journey as a golf course photographer and shares tips for improving golf photography.

The man behind the lens of Linksgems, one of the biggest golf course photography accounts on social media, actually isn't a full-time course capturer. Jon Cavalier is a lawyer living right off of Merion Golf Club. His photos have raised hundreds of thousands for charity, and he's taken shots of over 1,000 courses in 15+ years. Josh Sens asks him all about his life in golf and how he got into the field, but more importantly, finds out how to make our own simple photos of great courses better. Enjoy!
