Blogging as a photographer? Stuck searching for a topic?
Bookmark this list of blog topics for photographers and reference it periodically to jog some inspiration.
Keep your audience in mind as you consider photography blog topics. The general public (and your clients) don’t care about the gear itself… they only care about what you can do with the gear.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much for these great ideas. I struggle sometimes with blog post ideas.
Thanks for the great ideas! These are stellar topics. I think PPA and other associations are really important. I know some photographers disagree, but I would love to see higher standards some day. Great topic I will surely be writing about.
