#25 - Welcome back to ‘9 to 5 photographer’, back after a short break but this is still the podcast to help you get more shoots, make more money and spend more time doing the things you love. This episode came about after Martin Hobby, a photographer, listened to another episode on this podcast and noticed a few weeks/months had gone by with no recording. He posted a message in a corporate photography Facebook group, asking about future episodes, and instantly (accidentally) set himself up to be the next invited guest. So today, we’re talking to him. Martin Hobby has been shooting for 30 years ..read more

Now today is Saturday, it’s mid-September which means I’m about to jump in the car and head to the NEC for The Photography Show. I love this event, it’s good to speak to photographers, to exhibitors, I know that Sanjay Jogia will be there representing Canon so I’m hoping to catch up with him and generally just catch up with some familiar faces there. So, in the style of a Blues Brother, I got a full tank of gas, it’s not dark b ..read more

#018 - A special one-off episode in response to a wedding venue in Worcestershire and their initial plan to charge a fee to suppliers regardless of whether they were on a preferred supplier list with the venue. The reaction from the wedding supplier community was fast and loud, mainly because of the fear of this becoming the norm in the industry. While I was speaking to Martin Cheung in the first half of this episode the venue did a 180 on their decision but sadly, not creating the sympathetic response they may have been hoping for. I invited them onto this podcast episode, they didn't want ..read more

I’d love to know, do you know how it feels to be photographed when you’re a model, taking direction from a photographer and trying to understand what they want you to do but without compromising on your values. If so, this episode is for you because today we’re talking to Faith.  You can find her on Instagram by searching mystiquefay but, more importantly, we get some insights and advice from her in this epi ..read more

#015 - Welcome back to 9 to 5 photographer, the podcast to help you get more shoots, make more money and spend more time doing the things you love and today’s episode is with an absolutely top guy, a solid bloke and someone with more experience of being a filmmaker than you can shake a stick at.  Andrew Cussens runs Bloomsbury Films from the heart of London. He’s been running the business for a number of years and he’s very much a business owner with a team of people. So it’s great to get an insight into running a business operation like that.  But we don’t just talk about that, of ..read more

#014 - Welcome back to 9 to 5 photographer, the podcast to help you get more shoots, make more money and spend more time doing the things you love and today’s episode is with the amazing Hannah Couzens. She’s instantly likeable and I think this is because she’s very relatable, talking about things that you and I often find ourselves thinking about.  She doesn’t shoot weddings, she shoots portraits. And she’s pretty flippin’ good at it too.  We talk about what it’s like to photograph people and importantly what it’s like to be photographed. And we also talk about how she moved quickl ..read more

#010 - In this episode we speak to Casey Gutteridge, possibly the nicest bloke in the world(!) and certainly very easy to listen to. One of the things I love in this episode is the way he speaks openly about wanting to help other photographers but he also talks about how he's been able to photograph some of the biggest names in the world of PR (and how he started working in PR photography too). I really enjoyed recording this episode and I know you're going to enjoy listening to it too. Casey Gutteridge online Website: www.cpgphotos.com Instagram: cpgphotos www.9to5photo.com/010 ..read more
