I know what you're thinking. “Jeez, not another Photography podcast! They're all the same! How different could it be?!”. Well, let's start with this... Just like millions of teachers, accountants, bus drivers, waiters, baristas and office workers across the globe; this is a podcast for the 99%. Like you, I have a passion for Photography and wish - above all - to do something amazing with it. This is a journey on the road to understanding the thoughts, and processes of photographers from all over, and you're invited. Common topics like “building a photography business,” from social media to contacts to portfolios and a whole host of issues, are shared. The guests of this podcast, along with myself share our thoughts, advice, tips and experience along the way. This podcast is a community. I hope to reach aspiring Photographers, and assist with getting all the tools needed to push their photography to the next level. There's a long road ahead of us but, together, we'll get there. Thanks for listening.
