6 Podcasts For Fashion Photographers
This week, I received a lovely Instagram message from someone asking me if I had a list online of podcasts for photographers. I realised that I didn't, and it hit me that that was pretty silly.
I listen to Podcasts all the time, and recently I've been listening to loads of incredible podcasts dedicated just to photographers. I hope that you find this list helpful, and you get to learn from them as much as I do.
1. Dear Art Producer
If you all download only one of these podcasts, please make it this one. When I discovered this show a couple of months ago, I was on cloud 9. It's SO hard to find out information about what Art Directors/Art Buyers/Creative Directors want to see, how the work, how to get in front of them, that this podcast is literally golden. Heather Elder, a photography agent, interviews a different art producer every week, and records it for all of us to listen to. She asks super relevant questions, and talks about the current state of the industry. I've learnt SO MUCH in listening to this show, and it's definitely impacted the way that I now email clients, reach out to people, and more. So definitely listen to every single episode (like I have!).
2. Drive - Stories Of Entrepreneurship by Business Of Fashion
While this podcast isn't about photography specifically, if you want to be a fashion photographer I do think it's incredibly important to know what's going on in the industry. I've really enjoyed listening to some of these episodes about the business behind some of the biggest brands in the industry.
3. It Starts With A Click
Ok so this is a shameless plug, but I have to include my own podcast because I do think that there is some really helpful advice for photographers in each episode. I'm on a break from the show at the moment while I settle into my new routine, but I'm planning to be back in the autumn.
4. PhotoWRK Podcast - Fashion Photography
This is a really great interview based podcast all about fashion photographers, and their careers. They tend to be LA based photographers, because the hosts are based there and from what I understand they're only doing face to face interviews right now. I'd definitely love to see them interview photographers from other areas, but so far some of these interviews have been really, really insightful and helpful. So definitely subscribe and give them a listen!
5. So You Want To Be A Photographer
This podcast isn't specifically fashion photography, and there's definitely a whole mix of episodes. Some are for beginners, others are much more niche (like the episode I was in about pitching!), but have a scroll through and pick whatever sparks your interest. I've definitely listened to a handful of episodes and really enjoyed them.
6. The Fashion Photography Podcast
This podcast has been around for a really long time, so it's got a huge back catalogue. They do a range of interviews, and solo shows about specific topics, and they do tend to be really interesting interviews. I particularly loved the ones with Sebastian Sabal-Bruce recently, because he's such a talented photographer, who's work I really love. Definitely give this a listen for great insight into the industry from some very high end photographers.
