Podcast Episode 45: This is Anna Hardy
It was super to talk to the fab Anna Hardy for episode 45 of the This is Reportage Podcast! Anna was originally a wedding photographer and has transitioned fully to family photographer now (indeed, she’s an incredible Manchester family photographer) – as well as being an educator, too. She was also one of our judges for our first Collection over on our documentary family photography sister-site, This is Reportage: Family.
Anna shares *so* much with us today, including top tips for if you’re a wedding photographer looking to get into family photography, an exhilarating story of one of her skydives going wrong (and how that links in with the importance of doing things your own way – in life, and business), why empathy is vital to family work (and things you can do to boost that), tips on marketing and how to get more family clients, and so much more…

Podcast Episode 44: This is Alex Vita
Excited to have something a bit different for this week’s Podcast, as we talk to the fab Alex Vita about something which is very dear to each and every photographers’ hearts: Our websites. Alex has a massive amount of experience when it comes to web design, having worked on over 200 websites – and, more than that, he specifically only works on photography-sites, so he really knows his stuff.
There is so much great info shared by Alex in this episode, including the most common mistakes he sees photographers doing on their sites, why user experience can be much more important than SEO, tips on images and optimisation, how you can differentiate yourself from the competition, the importance of personality on your site, and much more…

Today, we have two of the very best wedding photographers in Belgium, with Philippe Swiggers (top-left) talking about Yves Schepers (top-right):
