Photography Podcasts You Won’t Want To Miss

Over the years, I’ve discovered lots of brilliant photography podcasts but I mainly love to listen to business, marketing and photography-related ones (is that geeky of me?!).

In this article, I list some of my favourites as well as those recommended by members of my PR-Savvy Photographers community.

Recommended Photography Podcasts

1. Shoot Edit Chat Repeat

Hosts: Vicki Knights and Eddie Judd

The award-winning Shoot Edit Chat Repeat podcast is no longer running, but there is a huge archive of great episodes that you can still access on the usual podcast platforms.

This show aims to inspire and motivate ‘people’ photographers, and host Vicki Knights and Eddie Judd – two top UK-based professional portrait photographers – certainly did that!

The show is lively, refreshingly honest, insightful and entertaining, and over the years it was running, generated a large following among the photography community.

Vicki and Eddie answer listeners’ questions on the show and feature in-depth guest interviews. I love that they interview their guests in person and clearly had a lot of fun making the podcast.

2. The Pet Photographers Club

Host: Kirstie McConnell

This podcast delves deep into the world of professional pet photography with fortnightly interviews and expert guests to help grow your business. Essential listening for all pet photographers!

I was also thrilled to be mentioned in another episode of the show a few months later! You can listen to that episode here.  

Kirstie picked out my interview as one of her top 5 of 2021 (wowee!) and mentioned also the PR Guide that I since created in collaboration with them for the International Pet Photographer of the Year Awards in 2021 and 2022. 

3. Shoot To The Top

 Host: Sam Hollis and Marcus Ahmad

Another highly recommended photography podcast is Shoot To The Top. It’s a podcast for professional photographers, hosted by digital marketing expert, Sam Hollis, as well as experienced fashion and editorial photographer, Marcus Ahmad. 

Listeners are treated to episodes with one of the hosts, or both together, sharing their expertise. They also feature many industry experts and cover a broad range of topics all geared towards helping photographers achieve success in their businesses. 

4. Great Big Photography World Podcast 

Host: Perrin Adams

The Great Big Photography World podcast features interviews with notable photographers and industry experts. It focuses on the personal journeys and creative processes of the guests, as well as everything from the basics to the latest trends in photography.

With almost 200 episodes (at the time of writing in late 2024), the Great Big Photography World podcast features inspiring and successful photographers from diverse genres, sharing their stories, practical advice, tips, and secrets to help you improve your skills and get creative.

Through in-depth interviews, the podcast explores the challenges they’ve faced, the breakthroughs they’ve had, and the passion that drives their work. This narrative approach teaches how to take great photos and create the mindset and discipline to succeed in professional photography.

5. The Business of Photography

Host: Brian Caporicci 

Canadian-based Brian has recorded over 400 episodes at the time of writing this, so there is an extensive back catalogue which you can dive into at any time.

They interview leading photographers from around the world. They also talk alone or together about topics relating to running a successful photography business.

Recent topics they’ve covered include how to create a content marketing plan, photography pricing mistakes, and how to create your ideal workflow.

6. PhotoBizX

Host: Andrew Hellmich

In this photography podcast, Australian host, Andrew Hellmich interviews some of the most successful photographers from around the world to “uncover the facts about running a wedding and portrait photography business for profit”.

I always find his podcast episodes interesting. He ensures that all his guests stick around for the interviews for a decent length of time, allowing him to ask lots of questions and extract all the nitty-gritty detail about the subject at hand.

The only downside of these in-depth interviews is that you may not have time to listen to them in full in one sitting. I tend to save these longer episodes for long car journeys or listen to them over a number of sittings.

Andrew restricts the full interviews to paid subscribers to his paid membership (which you can grab a month’s trial of for just $1). But even if you listen just to the free version of each episode, you’ll still get tons of value.

7. Evolve Your Wedding Business

Host: Heidi Thompson

This one is specifically for wedding photographers, as the name suggests. But much of the advice shared could also apply to other genres of photography.

There are over 280 episodes of the Evolve Your Wedding Business podcast to check out at the time of writing. Heidi interviews wedding photography experts and also offers solo training.

On this photography podcast, recent topics have included mastering Google Analytics, how to raise your prices, email marketing, the importance of mindset in business, and how to get more leads and enquiries.

8. Six-Figure Photography

Host: Ben Hartley

Host Ben Hartley is a successful international photographer and photography educator, based in the U.S.

On the Six-Figure Photography podcast, he interviews professional photographers and shares advice about how to grow your professional photography business into a six-figure enterprise. You’ll find lots of value in his podcast. It’s worth checking out!

9. Mastering Portrait Photography

Host: Paul Wilkinson

Paul Wilkinson is “one of the UK’s most sought-after portrait and wedding photographers. His images have adorned numerous publications from the BBC to the Times and have won countless awards as well as giving him the accolade of Fellowship of the Master Photographers Association and the MPA Presidential Award in 2017.”

This photography podcast features “tales, techniques, tricks and tantrums from one of the UK‘s top portrait photographers. Never just about photography but always about things that excite – or annoy – me as a full-time professional photographer – from histograms to history, from apertures to apathy, from motivation to megapixels. Essentially anything that might be useful if you‘re a portrait artist.”

10. Worth Every Penny Joycast

Host: Sarah Petty

The Worth Every Penny Joycast is hosted by photographer and author, Sarah Petty. In each episode, she shares pricing tips, marketing ideas, selling tips and gives insights into what’s working now.

It’s a hugely inspiring and motivational podcast, aimed at helping portrait photographers realise that “you’re worth every penny.”

11. Depth Of Field

Host: Penny De Los Santos

In this photograph podcast, host Penny De Los Santos has conversations with fellow visual storytellers, photographers, chefs, mentors, editors, and creative directors.  Penny is a photographer, director, and visual storyteller, brings over 20 years of experience in the photography industry, and has many fascinating stories to tell.
