AVAILABLE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCASTS

Listen now — and stay terrible.

Not another gear podcast. Not another influencer echo chamber.

This is for the ones who still give a damn.
The photographers who care more about meaning than metrics.
Who feel the creative high one day—and the crushing doubt the next.

Hosted by commercial photographer and author Patrick Fore, The Terrible Photographer Podcast explores the beautifully messy side of making images: the burnout, the late-night edits, the weird gigs, the existential spirals, and the rare, fleeting moments that make it all worth it.

We talk about:

  • Protecting your creative voice (especially from yourself)

  • Making honest work in a world built on filters and facades

  • Burnout, imposter syndrome, and staying inspired without faking it

  • Learning your craft—and when to unlearn it

  • Finding the balance between paid work and personal vision

Each episode is 15–20 minutes of sharp, story-driven reflection — perfect for the drive, the walk, or that quiet moment before a shoot.

No gear reviews.
No shallow hacks.
Just a reason to keep creating.
