December 27, 2022 65. What to do in the low season as a photographer
In just a few days 2022 is over. For many photographers, the new year is the perfect time to evaluate your business and plan ahead. The winter months are for most photographers considered low season.
This time of year means fewer tasks, colder temperatures, and less light for the majority of us. I occasionally get asked what to do to have a regular stream of work all year round. Most self-employed photographers are accustomed to having seasons with a lot of work and seasons with less.

November 15, 2022 59. Build your photography network and community
When I started, I didn’t have any photographer friends. It was hard to get to know anyone, and social media wasn’t a thing like it is now. Moving around doesn’t make starting a business easier, and it certainly doesn’t make creating a network of photographer friends or loyal clients easy.
A lot of photographers may relate to what I experienced. I didn’t have anyone who believed in me back then. And I didn’t believe in myself either (maybe rightfully so because I wasn’t that good).
In this episode, you’ll learn ways of building your network and community to build a sustainable business.
