9 to 5 Photographer
27 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 months ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsThe podcast to help professional photographers and film-makers get more shoots, make more money, and spend more time doing what they love. On the '9 to 5 Photographer' show we interview established photographers to find out how they grew their businesses, the marketing tactics they employed, how they cope working on their own and even (sometimes) whether they shoot with Canon, Sony, Fuji or Nikon. I also interview industry experts who can provide help and assistance to photographers and film-makers from a different perspective. Such as business acumen, successful accounting, mindset, health and fitness. Having started and grown my own photography and film-making business in 2010, I know exactly what it's like. This means I can ask the right questions to really get the most from the guests who come onto the show. Open to suggestions for new episodes, just let me know what you'd like to hear. Thanks for reading this :)
