As someone who hires photographers and freelance creatives, The Terrible Photographer has quickly become one of my favorite listens (& lessons). Beneath the sharp wit, cringe-worthy gig stories, and dry humor is a surprisingly generous and insightful look at the real courage it takes to pursue your craft full-time. It’s made me a better client – more thoughtful, more attuned to the realities behind the art(ist). Even as a recreational photographer, I feel like this podcast speaks directly to me. It’s smart, honest, and unexpectedly inspiring.

The Terrible Photographer is anything but terrible. Patrick offers an honest, insightful look into the emotional and mental side of photography—and creativity in general. It goes beyond gear talk and technique, diving into the heart of why we create and what holds us back.
It explores the inner critic we all wrestle with—the voice that tells us we’re not good enough—and offers real talk on how to confront it. What makes this podcast stand out is its unique perspective: it doesn’t sugarcoat the struggles, but challenges us to be brave, face failure, and dig through the discomfort to find our true voice as artists.
If you’re looking for something that speaks to the soul of your work this podcast is for you.

Patrick’s understanding of this industry and hearing about his journey (good, bad and the ugly) make this podcast relatable to all creatives. Every episode leads me to dig deep and really think about the “why” when I look through my camera’s viewfinder. Additionally, I’m looking at things from a different perspective when it comes to promoting my work. Patrick is empowering me to be bolder, post what I value and ignore algorithmic patterns. His storytelling connects both current and historical events in a way that influences a variety of creatives, making every podcast a unique, listening and learning experience.
