The Digital Photography Café was created by Trevor Current from CurrentPhotographer.com and Joseph Cristina from Alluremm.com. They have come together to create an inspiring, educational and entertaining podcast about the art and business of photography.

Each week Trevor and Joe get together to talk about the creative side of photography and the tools you need to succeed in business. Our topics are varied and everyone from beginner through professional will find some useful information to help grow their skills as photographers.

LensFlare 35 is a community for both amateur and professional photographers to stay informed, network, and leverage tips and techniques from today’s most admired photographers and filmmakers. Episodes are designed to make relevant information available in short, entertaining segments. Topics range from developing an artistic style, digital darkroom techniques, strategic marketing trends, tips and tricks from the masters, to the latest technology gadgets

Hosted by Rosh Sillars

Are you a new media photographer?  If you publish to the web the answer is yes.

Both amateur and professional photographers need to understand the new communications landscape to share their images and develop a following. Rosh Sillars is a veteran photographer and marketing consultant. He podcasts each week with the latest digital marketing and social media technology, concepts and ideas for photographers.

Hosted by Giles Babbidge

The Active Photographer started life as a humble weekly podcast, offering listeners a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the day-to-day life of a working professional photographer. From there, it soon evolved, embracing the wider online community.

Each week, Giles talks to you whilst out and about on location, sharing a load of ideas and information about just what goes into making photographs for his clients and for himself.

Whether you’re a professional or an enthusiast, The Active Photographer gives you a wide variety of useful and inspirational tips and resources covering a range of topics connected to photography, the great outdoors and more.

Guest post at Current Photographer – Marketing Campaigns for Photographers – Writing a Flattery Article

This might sound like a strange idea for a marketing campaign as it’s unlikely to bring you hundreds of bookings overnight. What it will do however is get you (and your site) noticed by people you admire. The marketing campaign is really more about building relationships and raising your public profile.

Marketing Campaigns for Photographers – Publish a Book

Self publishing today isn’t what it used to be…… it’s miles better!What are the marketing benefits of publishing a book? Do I really have to answer that question?!?!?

You might not be hailed as the next Anne Geddes overnight and it’s unlikely that you’ll sell many copies but that’s not what this marketing campaign is really about.
