Ep. 47: Behind the Lens With Golf Photographer Christian Hafer - a podcast by Ryan Walker

Christian Hafer is gifted with something that not many people have. And if you are familiar with his work, then you are probably thinking about his artistic ability behind the lens. This is true. He does have a remarkable ability to project how he sees the world through his photography.

But I am talking about the gift of finding your passion at a young age. From the moment he picked up a camera, he knew this is what he loved to do. After taking a year-long photography class in high school and cruising through the curriculum in a few months, Christian was able to work with his teacher to create a unique program that allowed him to hone in on his craft.

A few years down the line, Christian found street photography while living near Philadelphia. This artistic technique of photographing everyday life enabled him to find his individualistic style that we now see in his golf photography. And with that style, he has been able to make quite the name for himself under the handle @hafe\_life.

On this week’s podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Christian about the evolution of his fascinating photography career and how it has culminated in him focusing on golf. We also touch on the opportunities being a creative in today’s economy can provide, how he sees this fitting in with his personal brand, his new charity [Carry Hope](https://www.carryhopegolf.com/) and it’s noble mission, and his vision for where he wants to take it all. A big thank you to Christian for coming on the show!
