5 photographers (Brent Bergherm, Jeff Harmon, Connor Hibbs, Erica Kay, Brian McGuckin) take turns covering listener questions, photography news, and the famous photography “doodads” of the week with each round table discussion episode. This is the podcast for enthusiast and professional photography nerds who want to level up and master their photography–without the fluff of a “talk show.” The team has a special skill for covering advanced level photography techniques in a way that less experienced photographers can understand. They don’t talk down to newer photographers yet provide tips that help advanced photographers. Come join us as we all work to master our photography together!

Though positioned as a beginner/intermediate photography podcast, Jeff, Brent and the crew do a really great job of going deep into the topic of the week, especially from the technical side of things. Though not all episodes will be relevant to every listener depending on the kind of photography you do, I always find that I learn something in each one, sometimes many, many things. The conversation is informative and entertaining and the hosts humble, knowledge and accessible. Hats off to everyone involved; I really can’t recommend it enough.

There is information to be had, but there is a lot of rambling. The podcast typically gives about 5 minutes of information in about an hour of talking. Great if you want to spend time as the hosts are enjoyable, but not if you are looking for concise information
Music yes · Dec 2020
Expert photography instruction that is down to earth and realistic. All levels are welcome to learn.
Host is interesting and has a great, fun personality.
Hard to find other podcasts for photography that are this positive and encouraging.

I have a few podcasts I listen to regularly and this one is right at the top of my list! I love the content that is discussed, the guests have been fantastic and I have learned so much over time.
I can really relate to Jeff because I am also a hobbyist photographer, doing jobs here and there for pay but primarily it’s my hobby. I just felt that I could relate to him through his personal photography journey.
The hosts on this podcast are so professional, yet relatable. I would love to meet them someday at one of their events!

I never leave negative reviews because I know we are all out here hustling hard doing what we love! But I just discovered this podcast and was excited to learn something new...I’m on the “9 tips for beginner photographers” and I am 9 minutes in and they still haven’t mentioned any tips, just doing housekeeping. Producers/hosts, I’m sure you have awesome content but I don’t have time to wait around and hunt for it. Please provide content within 1-2 mins and I will be a loyal listener!

I tried to listen to 2 episodes and found both to be intolerable. Not because of the subject matter, but because of the host. He talks too much about things he knows little of instead of actually asking probing and insightful questions of his guests with insightful, poignant dialogue. He basically drones on and on. The ‘Quadrangle’ episode was especially brutal. I will not listen to another of these.
