Thoughts on Photography
Brian McGuckinThis podcast explores what it means to live a photographic life. What does it mean to be an artist who uses the medium of photography to express themselves artistically to the world. What subjects do we choose and why? How are we influenced by other photographers, art, and the world in general? You won't find any gear-talk, camera reviews, or Photoshop tips here, but rather, you'll find an explora... more

United Kingdom7 years ago - Information PACKED!
Thank-you Brian and all of Improve Photography's Crew! These podcasts are so packed full of information! I have been asked to be my brother's photographer for his wedding. With very little experience at wedding photography under my belt I felt a little daunted at the proposition and started looking for more info. I looked through the podcasts I had and found #0125 with Erica K. It has given me a foundation to build up from - and it doesn't feel as daunting!
Just one question: do you have somethi... more

When you put the Improve Photography podcasts together as a whole it is quite an amazing tour de force for everyone. Brian brings great gear reviews and some interesting interviews with today's best photographers. Keep up the incredible work over there at IP!
Apple Podcasts4PhaungerUnited States10 years ago - Terrific
Absolutely great, very informative podcast.
Apple Podcasts5clint wolfUnited States10 years ago - Good info, Host needs help
I subscribe to all the Improve Photography podcasts. I want to like this one but I have such a hard time listening to this one. There have been numerous audio problems not only by the host but by his guests. I understand there will be issues with "call quality" via Skype or whatever service you're using but try to figure these things out before recording the podcast. As for the host Brian, he seems to be a nice enough and knowledgeable guy but there are some issues. So Brian PLEASE: SPEAK UP ... more
Apple Podcasts2Gen.MIDIUnited States10 years ago - Most unique photo podcast
Best I've listened to. I always become interested in whatever random topic is the subject. Never new what RoofTopping was... Now I've liked tons of YouTube videos! Need inspiration? Listen to this one.
Apple Podcasts5CoachMNolanUnited States10 years ago - One of my favorites
This podcast is always informative and helps me stay up to speed with everything photography related.
Apple Podcasts5SohappytohavethisUnited States10 years ago - A different perspective
Really interesting discussions beyond the usual talk about gear.
Apple Podcasts5JamesWildboreUnited Kingdom10 years ago - Brian gets it!
Improving photography is a unique podcast in which the host is joined by an industry expert to share information and advice about current events affecting photographers. Very great!!
Apple Podcasts5Ranchermom28United States10 years ago - Brian Rocks
I really enjoy this podcast! I love how Brian is always advocating for community in the photography industry. Every week it's something new and you never know what you're going to get so I say tune in each week and see if it's something you're interested in and if not...listen anyway because it could be something you could become interested in. If I had to say one thing that could make this podcast better would be to make it shorter.
Apple Podcasts4AmberAPhotoUnited States10 years ago - I tried to like it, but it is just painful to listen to.
I love Improve Photography, but Jim was apparently pretty desperate to find hosts. Brian is a real drag to listen to and is not interesting at all. The interviews are awkward and he just chases his tail the whole time. I'm sorry, but I am done with this podcast. It's also weird to note that all of the 5 star reviews are 5-6 years old for a podcast that has only been out a few months. They must have recycled a feed.
Apple Podcasts1rm17742United States11 years ago - Need some help with their audio
I would give this podcast 5 stars if their audio wasn’t so bad. I keep trying to listen but it’s too hard to hear the guests and they seem to be busy doing other things when they talk. haha I’ll keep trying.
Apple Podcasts3SspecialsteveUnited States11 years ago - Hard to listen to.
Cannot complete a sentence without saying "uuumm" or "aahh". Very distracting. Listen to the other podcasts from Improve Photography, you will see what I mean. Was looking forward to this,downloaded them all now am deleting them all.
Apple Podcasts1orlandoDaveoUnited States11 years ago - What happened?
I'm not a regular listener but I do listen. I rate you five stars
