Professional photographer and podcaster Natalie Champa Jennings selected these photography podcasts to help others grow successful photography businesses.
After a year or so of building up a portfolio, a friend of mine recently launched a photography business.
I'm so happy for him. After sharing his info online and with friends, I mentioned that I'll support him in any way I know how.
That's when he asked me for podcast recommendations for photographers.
Of course, right? That's my gig. Recommend the best podcasts for [insert topic here].
But I'm not a photographer, and I'm also the type of person who barely even snaps a photo while on vacation (yes, we do exist, even in this Insta-crazed world).
The best I could do when my friend asked for photography podcast recommendations was to point him to CreativeLive, which I know has tons of photography video courses, as well as a podcast for photographers.
Then, I went in search of someone who actually knows something about photography podcasts. I contacted Natalie from Jennings Photo. Natalie is a professional photographer based in the U.S. She also creates a podcast for photographers (see below).
Natalie graciously selected the podcasts in the list below, and provided the reasons she thinks these are the best podcasts for photographers who are trying to run and grow a business.
Thanks to Natalie, I feel confident including these podcast recommendations. Check them out if you're looking for tips and advice for starting and running your own photography business.
