Photography and travel entertainment

Brent brings you to out to travel photography locations with lots of details and interesting interviews. The Forgotten Pieces of Georgia episode was so inspirational for Photogs. An accomplished photographer was looking for inspiration by driving around the state and found history in old structures and buildings and made it into a project. Fascinating story. Keep up the good informative podcasts to keep inspiring us Brent!

Educational, interesting, and easy to understand

This and Master Photography Podcast are my two favorite photography podcasts out there. They are very informative and cover a wide range of topics. They also have amazing Facebook groups that are well monitored, making them the perfect place to ask questions you can’t seem to find other places.

Becoming my favorite

I just started listening to the Latitude Photography podcast. It’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite podcasts. Brent combines the technical and artistic sides of photography in a wonderful blend. Each episode has been really interesting so I’m working my way back through all of the older shows I’ve missed. It’s obvious that Brent is putting a lot of work and time into this. He’s very organized. Love it!
