09 - The State Of Photography in 2020


Listen Later

In this episode me and fellow photographer Lee Walker debate the state of photography in 2020 and the best way to build a career in photography in these difficult times.


Lee is a good friend of mine and an excellent photographer, he works in the hotel industry but is trying to build a career as a hospitality and commercial photographer on the side.  Myself, I am trying to build a career in street and travel photography in my spare time.


In this episode we discuss the impact of Coronavirus on the industry, the over saturation of the market and everyone having cameras in their pockets now.  We discuss stock photography and the changes Shutterstock have recently made which created a bit of an uproar and much much more.


We also discuss a recent Petapixel article which asked the question: 'Is Travel Photography Dead?'  You can read that article here:  https://petapixel.com/2020/06/23/is-travel-photography-dead/
