Informed

The Work for Hire episode covered it ALL. The ups, downs, and how and when to take action. Photographers at all stages of their careers should listen to this one. Spoiler Alert: there isn’t one answer. This podcast episode is a wonderful touchstone for what it takes to negotiate jobs as a professional photographer. Thank you Photo Dump for keeping the bar high and candid for community discussion. With appreciation! - Amy Tierney / Thrive Images / SanDisk Ambassador Photograper

Super informative!

Photo Dump is a wealth of information for any up-and-coming photographer. There are tons of podcasts that interview photographers and explore the basics, but this is the only one I know of that gets into the details of what it’s really like to be a working commercial photographer.
