The Top 21 Podcasts for Photographers (Wedding / Portrait)

I have a decent podcast habit. The ability to listen to longer form discussions and content is quite refreshing in the era of 10 second Instagram reels. I wanted to put together a quick list of my favorite photography podcasts. It’s pretty incredible to live in a time where there is so much available information for photographers to learn from. I remember the days of Creative Live being the only photography education online.. now we have endless new content published each week from a wide variety of creators.

How I selected these Podcasts

I’ve listened to the majority of these, but I also looked at reviews and data on overall audience. I wanted to make sure that only quality podcasts were included in the list and that it came from photographers of varied backgrounds.
