Photography Podcasts

March 4, 2011

So I was thinking about podcasts recently.  I find myself listening to a lot of podcasts in general but more specifically I listen to a lot of photography podcasts.

Some of these photography podcasts are better than others with some being aimed toward the beginner while others are aimed more toward the advanced/professional photographer.  I think they all have value and I personally never tire of hearing people discussing about the fundamentals of photography.

So here is a short list of some of the photography podcasts I’ve been listening to and if you haven’t checked them out already then you probably should:

This Week in Photo
One of my favourite photography podcasts.  Usually featuring a panel of guests discussing the latest news in photography and answering reader questions.  Hosted by Frederick Van Johnson the podcast is full of current information and interesting conversations.

Photography Tips from the Top Floor
Tips from the Top Floor is a wonderful podcast from German photographer/trainer Chris Marquardt.  Chris covers a lot of ground and answers plenty of listener questions.  This is a really entertaining podcast and generally features lots of hints, tips and advice to photographers at all levels.

The Camera Dojo podcasts are hosted by Orange County wedding, portrait and commercial photographer Kerry Garrison and aimed at helping photographers improve their skills.

The Photo Life – Pro Photography Podcast
Hosted by Travis Schreer this podcast is aimed more toward the professional photographer and features a lot of conversations with leading photographers.  Some of these interviews are absolutely fascinating.

The podcast from one of the UK’s leading photography magazines.  Lots of tips and  information for photographers at all levels.  Hosted by Grant Scott, editor of Photography Monthly magazine.

Another podcast hosted by magazine editor Grant Scott and based on Professional Photographer magazine.  It features lots of industry news and interviews/discussions with  some of the big names in photography.

Canon Blogger: Learning Digital Photography
All about learning photography with photographer, blogger and IT guy Jason Anderson.  It’s quite basic stuff but pretty interesting and often involves guests.  Despite being labeled as Canon the vast majority of content is non vendor specific.

The Two Hosers Photo Show
This one is really aimed at beginners but it’s still interesting to hear two guys (one pro and one amateur) discussing the basics of photography.

So are there any glaring emissions in the above list?  There are plenty of photography podcasts out there so please let me know if you believe I have missed any good ones and I’ll gladly add them to the list.

Happy shooting!
