Podcasts

I drive a lot. A LOT. Often on my way to shoots, meetings, the airport. I keep a TON of good podcasts on my iPod, many are photo-related. Some have video or embedded images, some are just great interviews. These are all available on iTunes, free of charge. Many can also be downloaded from other sites, but my preference is iTunes. It automatically downloads the new episodes when available, and syncs them with my iPod.

Here are some great podcasts to keep you inspired and always learning:

Adobe ® Photoshop® Lightroom™ - Not just information about Lightroom, but interviews with some of the greats. Gregory Heisler, Pete Turner, Jeff Schewe, Steve McCurry, Jay Maisel, tons more.

The Candid Frame: A Photography Podcast - Ibarionex Perello interviews often lesser-known and fascinating photographers, as well as some well-known ones.

Creative Lube - Leslie Burns-Dell’aqua’s podcast on creativity and marketing.

Dekepod - Deke McClelland’s podcast on all things digital imaging. Deke is ALWAYS entertaining, ALWAYS informative. Great tips with video.

Digital Photography Tips from the Top Floor - Chris Marquardt’s podcast on all things photography. It’s heavily skewed toward beginners, but he’s a fantastic teacher and very entertaining, often interviewing interesting experts (ok, I’ve been interviewed twice, so I had to say that!) and giving tips that even seasoned shooters can learn from. This was one of the first podcasts, and Chris and his guests have introduced me to other podcasts along the way.

History of Photography podcasts - Jeff Curto, a professor of Photography at the College of Dupage, records his class each week and the podcasts include the images he’s discussing from pre-Niepce to present day and the relevence of all of it. It’s like getting a free semester of his class. I’ve repeated it a couple of times, he sometimes adds something new.

Jeff Curto’s Camera Position - Again, Jeff Curto, this time talking about the why of photography through his own eyes and experiences.

Lightsource Studio Photography Podcast - mostly amateur stuff, but they do talk to industry heavy-hitters from manufacturers like Phil Bradon from MAC/Pocketwizard to working shooters like Michael Grecco.

Photoshop User TV - News and tips of all things Photoshop, in a video format.

The Russell Brown Show - If you like tips from Russell Brown like I do, free videos to watch any time is a good thing.

I do also subscribe to a variety of others on a large variety of topics, but these are the core photography podcasts that keep me juiced and creative. If you know of other good ones, send them along!
