Photography Podcasts: Now Hear This

As someone who creates and writes about photography, I also like to listen to others speak about their experience as photographers, or how they came to be photographers. I’m less concerned about the tech, or which lens is the best for bokeh effects, or the latest mirrorless camera with new computational abilities. But it’s good to keep up to date on the technical part of photography; it is one of the linchpins of the craft after all. If that is your main interest, this list will include some recommended podcasts for you.
For other programs which go into a long form style of interview or conversation, I’ve also included some of my recommendations below. Interestingly, some of the most enjoyable programs I listen to are not simply about photography, but focus more on really good storytelling. If you are a documentary photographer you might agree with this aspect, and I feel a great story will outshine great technique on a consistent basis. These podcasts might present photographers to discover or re-discover, genres of work which could open new avenues for creative expression, or present ideas which further your photographic knowledge or expand your present state of mind.
This list is not intended to be a ‘best of’ list, nor is it rated in any way. It is group of recommendations for your photographic listening pleasure:
Real Photo Show
Real Photo Show with host Michael Chovan-Dalton is a podcast about photographers and the related arts. The show started largely through connections with the photo program at SVA in NYC as a platform to provide space and voice for photographers and to help build community among photographers. The podcast has grown impressively to feature artists, curators, publishers, and directors with discussions about their influences, projects, books, some technology, and insightful conversation about artists creating meaningful work.

The LPV Show
Started by former photo editor, photographer and content creator Bryan Formhals, the LPV show covered a range of documentary and fine art photographers talking about their work in a bare bones, casual setting. The show stopped making new episodes in 2016, but continues to be an oft referenced source for topics on photo books, and contemporary photographers sharing their work and approach to image making. The new podcast moniker, Way of the Walk, will lead to you to old episodes, and still hits on the theme often discussed by Formhals: the best gear for a photographer is a really good pair of shoes.
