We just released our latest podcast on WeTalkPhoto and the central topic is the reality of being a professional photographer.

It’s not all glamor and glitz or fame and fortune being a professional.  My co-host, Jack Graham, and I discuss the realities of running a successful business as workshop leaders with the mountains of paperwork, bookkeeping, permits, insurance, certifications, expense reporting, dealing with customers, and oh yea, making some images.

The We Talk Photo podcast is dedicated to being an entertaining, informative and lighthearted discussion about a wide range of photographic topics centered around landscape and nature photography.  Hosted by Jack Graham and John Pedersen, long time industry professionals, they will bring you in to their conversations about gear, recent trends, insightful interviews with industry leaders as well as entertaining stories from their collective experience in the photography business.

I am a professional photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. I lead photo workshops across the country and abroad and make my living as a full time photographer. If you would like to see my work or check out my workshops, please visit my site JOHN PEDERSEN PHOTO
