The TOGCHAT Photography Podcast

You have no idea how often I hear this question. The answer is very simple. Videos on YouTube have become a form of entertainment. Fact is, if you watch a video but don’t pick up a camera immediately afterwards to try the technique that you just saw — you aren’t likely to retain the information and you won’t have an experiential memory — which is much stronger than just memorizing something.

Learning with an audio format like a photography podcast forces you to use your imagination. As a photographer, it is important to be able to visualize ideas and concepts so that you can bring them to life in a photograph. Learning via audio allows you to focus (No pun intended) on the important information and not be distracted by cool visuals and music.

Listening to an audio lesson from a photography podcast forces you to engage your imagination and by doing so the experience becomes yours instead of somebody else’s. It brings you a step closer to retaining the information and understanding it — not just memorizing it.

I hope you will give it a try.

Did you know?

The TOGCHAT Photography Podcast began as a photography live stream on YouTube in 2017. It has gone through several tweaks and changes along the way, but in early 2021, I decided to make TOGCHAT — exclusively an audio photography podcast and focus on informative discussions with photo industry leaders. I began a new weekly livestream show on YouTube called The LAST FRAME LIVE, which you can watch every Wednesday evening at 6:00PM ET in the US.
