Podcasts about photographers

One of the biggest mistakes aspiring photographers make is believing they need "a little more" before they can start charging. More experience. More gear. More education. More portfolio work. But what if that mindset is the very thing holding you back? In this episode, James Patrick challenges the common belief that photographers need to reach some mythical level of perfection before they can monetize their work. Drawing from his own journey—from getting paid for his very first published photograph as a journalist to launching video production services decades later—James explores the difference between being ready and feeling ready. The truth is that perfection isn't what makes someone a professional. Consistently delivering value is. If you've been waiting for permission to start charging, this episode might be the sign you've been looking for. In This Episode Why "I need a little more experience" can become a dangerous trap The role imposter syndrome plays in delaying professional growth Why keeping photography as a hobby often feels safer How James got paid for the very first photo he ever took The difference between being perfect and being marketable Why your clients grow alongside your skills How real-world experience accelerates learning faster than endless practice The parallels between launching a photography business and starting a podcast Why your portfolio is never actually finished The mindset shift that separates professionals from hobbyists Key Takeaway Stop asking yourself whether you're good enough. Instead, ask: Can I consistently produce results that someone would find valuable enough to pay for? If the answer is yes, then it's time to start charging. Growth doesn't happen while waiting on the sidelines. It happens through working with real clients, solving real problems, and delivering real results. Memorable Quote "You don't become a professional because you're perfect. You become a professional because someone trusts you to get the job done, and more often than not, you deliver on that trust." — James Patrick Connect with James Follow and connect: Instagram: @jpatrickphoto Substack: James Patrick Photography YouTube: James Patrick Photography If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a fellow creative and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you've ever stared at a message asking you to work for free and felt your stomach drop a little - you're not alone. The 'should I do this?' question is one of the most uncomfortable in a photographer's career. Say yes and you risk quietly undervaluing yourself. Say no and you worry you're being difficult, or closing a door you can't reopen.In this episode, we do something a little different: we debate it. Not as opposing teams, but as two photographers with genuinely different approaches - making the case for strategic free work on one side, and protecting your value at all costs on the other. By the end, we land somewhere that might surprise you, and give you a practical framework of questions to ask before you ever say yes or no again.Focus & Flourish, Photography Business Talk is a podcast for photographers and creative entrepreneurs who want to build structured, sustainable, and profitable businesses.

Forget renderings, Taylor Hall O'Brien is making the case for real light, real rooms, and real collaboration in an industry that AI is circling like a hawk. He and Mark talk through the art of consistent storytelling across a photo gallery, how Taylor built relationships with top editors one Instagram follow at a time, and why being easy to work with matters more than being the most talented person in the room. It's part photography lesson, part business strategy session, and part really lovely conversation over Diet Coke at sunrise.

This episode is a repurposed Hybrid Hub marketing mastermind call focused on how photographers can batch social media content in a way that leads to inquiries and bookings. I break down how to organize captions monthly, batch creative weekly, and use three types of short-form video—talking head, aesthetic, and trending—to support a clear marketing system. We also cover why captions drive results more than visuals alone, how to stay searchable on every platform, and how to create consistent content without burning out. Snag the Video Upsell Starter Kit: https://hybridhangout.com/starter-kitIf you're a photographer who already wants to add video but keeps getting stuck in research mode, this is for you.

Money aside, why is photography the career you have chosen? We talk about our personal "Why's" for taking photos professionally, and how you can start to deepen your understanding of why you do too.  

One of the things I love about birding is that there are so many different ways to enjoy birds. Some people love chasing rarities. Some people love atlasing. Some people enjoy bird photography. Others simply enjoy spending time in nature.My guest today is someone who has spent decades behind a camera. Rory Baker is a professional wildlife photographer, photography educator, and founder of Rory Baker Photography. Over the years, he has photographed everything from wildlife and birds to architecture and commercial projects, while helping hundreds of photographers develop their skills.What makes today's conversation particularly interesting is that Rory doesn't come from a traditional birding background. He isn't chasing the latest rarity or obsessing over a life list. Instead, he approaches birds through the eyes of a photographer.And that raises an interesting question.What can birders learn from photographers?As we chat today, you'll hear how photography teaches observation, patience, and attention to detail. We discuss why the best place to improve your bird photography might be right outside your back door, why buying a new camera won't automatically make you a better photographer, and why spending time with common birds can actually make you a better birder.Even if you have absolutely no interest in photography, I think you'll find plenty of value in this conversation. At its heart, this episode is about slowing down, paying attention, and learning to appreciate the birds that are often right in front of us.So grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy my conversation with Rory Baker.Visit our online store to get your birding related merchandise at great prices https://www.thebirdinglife.com/online-storeIntro and outro music by Tony ZA https://soundcloud.com/tonyofficialzaLinks from show:Rory Baker Website https://www.rorybakerphotography.com/

The biggest thing standing between you and real income might not be your talent. It might be the stories you keep telling yourself. In this solo episode, Sarah shares the five mindset shifts that completely changed her photography business. From letting go of comparison to trusting yourself before you feel ready, this conversation is a reminder that growth starts long before perfect confidence arrives. • Why your clients care more about the experience you create than technical perfection • How comparison keeps photographers stuck in someone else's version of success • The powerful difference between making hobby decisions and business decisions If you've been waiting for permission, more experience, or the "right time" to take your business seriously, consider this your sign.

Shayna, from Hybrid Hangout, explains how YouTube and Google search are intertwined and how embedding keyword-driven YouTube videos (wedding films, location guides, or simple talking-head videos that mirror blog posts) can boost blog rankings, increase trust, and convert higher-intent clients without needing virality or large followings.Shayna's Links: Free video upsell starter kit: https://hybridhangout.com/starter-kitInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hybridhangout--

In this episode, Heather sits down with her good friend Nicole Begley for an honest conversation about productivity, efficiency, and why there is no one-size-fits-all approach to running a business. They share their vastly different ways of managing tasks, planning their days, and getting things done—and why trying to force someone else's system onto yourself often creates more frustration than results. If you've ever felt like you're "doing productivity wrong," this episode will be incredibly validating. Key Takeaways:  There is no universal productivity system. What works brilliantly for one person may completely fail for someone else. Different brains require different approaches. Success comes from understanding your natural tendencies instead of fighting them. Stop making productivity struggles mean something about you. A system not working doesn't mean you're flawed. Self-awareness is more valuable than discipline. Learning how your brain operates helps you build sustainable systems. Shame keeps you stuck. Replacing judgment with curiosity creates freedom and momentum. Procrastination isn't always the problem. Sometimes it's simply how your brain naturally works under certain conditions. You don't have to force yourself into someone else's box. Your business gets to fit your brain—not the other way around. Deadlines and accountability matter differently for everyone. Knowing your triggers helps you create better systems. Flexibility is a strength. Productivity isn't about perfection—it's about finding what consistently supports you. The goal isn't to become someone else. The goal is to become more effective as yourself. What if you've never been bad at productivity… you've just been using the wrong system? What if the thing you've been criticizing about yourself is actually valuable information? This conversation will make you rethink everything you've believed about getting things done. Press play and finally give yourself permission to work the way your brain was designed to work. How to Support the Podcast: Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.

In this snapshot episode of The Wild Photographer, Court dives into one of the most beloved, affordable, and surprisingly powerful lenses in photography: the Nifty 50.A “Nifty 50” is the nickname for a 50mm prime lens with a very fast aperture, often somewhere around f/1.8, f/1.4, or even f/1.2. These lenses are famous for being small, lightweight, relatively inexpensive, and capable of producing beautifully shallow depth of field. In other words, they can give your photos that dreamy background blur, strong subject separation, and low-light flexibility that usually comes with much more expensive gear.While a 50mm lens may not seem like the obvious choice for nature and wildlife photography, Court makes the case that it deserves a permanent spot in just about every photographer's kit. It may not be the lens you use all day, every day, but it can become your “X factor” lens — the one you pull out when you want a different look, a creative constraint, or a way to make images that feel a little more cinematic, intimate, or unexpected.In this episode, Court explains what makes the Nifty 50 so useful, why it's such a great lens for beginning photographers, how it can help you learn aperture faster, and where it fits into a travel, nature, portrait, cultural, or even video workflow.Key TakeawaysA Nifty 50 is a 50mm prime lens with a fast aperture, often f/1.8 or f/1.4.It is one of the most affordable ways to experience very shallow depth of field.It is small, lightweight, and easy to keep in your camera kit.It is not the perfect lens for classic landscapes or traditional wildlife close-ups, but it can create fantastic, creative nature images.It excels at portraits, travel, culture, food, markets, low light, and video.It is especially valuable because it teaches aperture through real-world use.For many photographers, the inexpensive version is more than enough.Court Whelan on YouTubeCourt shares weekly photography videos, editing tutorials, on-site video lessons, and practical tips for growing as a photographer.https://www.youtube.com/@courtwhelanThe Wild Photographer PodcastIf you're enjoying the show, please consider sharing the podcast with a friend and leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your podcast platform of choice.

If the word 'contract' makes you feel a bit uncomfortable - like you're being too serious, too formal, or somehow signalling that you don't trust your clients - this episode is going to reframe that completely. Contracts aren't about distrust. They're about clarity. And clarity is actually one of the most generous things you can offer a client relationship.In this episode, we talk honestly about the mistakes we made early on, why boundaries are a core part of professionalism (not a barrier to it), and what photographers need to start thinking about when it comes to protecting their work in an AI-driven world. Because the goal isn't just protecting your business on paper - it's protecting your ability to keep creating sustainably, long-term.Focus & Flourish, Photography Business Talk is a podcast for food photographers and creative entrepreneurs who want to build structured, sustainable, and profitable businesses. Hosted by Marta Grabowska and Linda Hermans, the show combines real-life experiences with practical strategies around marketing, pricing, workflows, and mindset - helping creatives step into their CEO role and grow with clarity and confidence.Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Homeless kid. Marine for 13 years. Food blogger hiding his bulimia. Opiate addiction. Photographer. Consultant. Mastermind host. Coach… the thing he swore he'd never call himself. None of those steps connect on paper. None followed a playbook. And none of them would have worked if George had tried to follow someone else's map. This episode is for the entrepreneur whose path doesn't exist yet. Most business advice is a highlight reel written by someone who already arrived, with every dead end and pivot quietly removed.  In this solo episode, George breaks down what it actually costs to carve your own path, why following someone else's map will only take you where they went, and four practical steps to pressure-check yourself when there's no roadmap to follow. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why playbooks written by others will only take you to where they went The three things carving your own path actually requires and costs Why curiosity is a compass, not a plan and why that's more powerful Four practical steps to navigate your path when there isn't one How to build in sprints instead of betting everything on one direction Why your people come before your audience How every seemingly unrelated skill is already accumulating into something Key Takeaways: ✔️Someone else's playbook documents the path that worked for them, in their season, with their skills. It also leaves out every dead end and pivot. You're getting a highlight reel, not a map. ✔️Carving your own path requires trusting your knowing before you have evidence. That's the cost and it demands a deep relationship with your own judgment. ✔️Curiosity is a compass, not a strategy. It keeps you oriented in the right direction even when the path isn't clear. ✔️You have to be willing to look different. People who built conventional careers will see your detours as warning signs. They're speaking from their path, not yours. ✔️Follow what won't leave you alone. The problem you can't stop thinking about, the conversation you never tire of, that's a direction, not a guarantee, but it's where to start. ✔️Build in 60–90 day sprints, not five-year commitments. Measure energy and alignment, not just revenue. ✔️Find your people before you find your audience. You need a feedback loop before you need clients. ✔️Trust the accumulation. Every skill, every pivot, every unexpected season is adding up, even when you can't see the final picture yet. ✔️The unconventional path doesn't handicap you. It makes you irreplaceable.

In this episode of Architecture, Design & Photography, Trent Bell sits down with architect and author Danish Kurani to discuss his latest book, The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World.  Trent and Danish explore the powerful ways architecture and environmental design shape our psychology, behavior, relationships, and overall well-being. From the spaces we grow up in to the cities we move through every day, the discuss how thoughtful design can influence how we connect, feel, and live. The Spaces That Make Us: Why Design Is Broken and How We Can Create a Happier, Healthier World: https://www.amazon.com/Spaces-That-Make-Us-Healthier/dp/1400249120 About Danish Kurani: Danish Kurani sees how buildings are failing to nourish people. After witnessing how poorly designed environments hold back people across the globe – from the middle of Manhattan to villages in India – he's made it his mission to remake architecture for human flourishing. His groundbreaking designs for New York City, Google, and communities on four continents prove that thoughtful architecture can unlock human potential. Named one of the World's Most Innovative Architects by Fast Company, Kurani has pioneered a human-centered approach that's transforming lives worldwide. His work spans from floating homes in disaster-prone areas to schools in informal settlements, always focusing on one question: how can architecture solve our most pressing social challenges?  A Harvard-trained architect and urban designer, Kurani's architectural ideas have been shared at leading institutions including Stanford, MIT, Harvard, and Columbia, and featured in TIME, World Economic Forum, and the Wall Street Journal. National governments recognize him as a leading voice in social impact architecture – not because he builds beautiful buildings, but because he builds spaces that work for real people.

CHECK, PLEASE — Thanks for tuning in. Just a note before we get going: This is the 50th episode of The Full Bleed, and I, along with the team here at Magazeum, truly appreciate the time you spend with us. Waiting is what I consider a perfect magazine. Not because of its design or the writing, though both are stellar. But mostly because it functions as a closed loop. How? The subject and the audience are one and the same. Waiting, you see, is a magazine about creatives in New York's service industry. And it is a magazine for creatives in New York's service industry. That's a neat trick and also makes me wonder why no one had done this before founder, editor-in-chief, and complete magazine neophyte Adele Blanton hit upon the idea. Adele has done the math: 10 percent of the estimated 700,000 people working in the food and beverage industry in New York are artists of some kind. Artists, actors, writers, dancers. You name it. And that number is a healthy baseline for any publication. Waiting has published three well-received issues and now she and the team behind it has to figure out how to maintain and grow the media. That's one of the many things we talk about on the show. Did we tell you this is our 50th episode? Because it's our 50th episode. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Is Session or Pixieset enough for your photography business? With CRM prices going up, more photographers are asking whether they really need a full CRM — or if they can get by with the tools they're already paying for. In this episode, I'm taking an honest look at both Session and Pixieset Studio Manager: what they actually do well, where they fall short, and the one thing neither of them can give you — control over your client's timeline.I'll share stories from two photographers who moved out of Pixieset into Dubsado, including one who went from 90 minutes to five minutes on the proposal phase alone.

Should photographers pay for magazine features, covers, and media placements?
