Though not a photographer, Conor Risch knows a lot about photography. He’s a Senior Editor for one of the leading photography industry magazines Photo District News—or PDN as it’s widely known. We discuss the ever-changing landscape of photography both as a passion and profession. Conor expounds on how the photographers he speaks to and writes about regularly persevere as small business owners and self-promoters. We also discuss the effects of social media influencers, photographic literacy and where exactly the “Photo District” really is.
