Fstoppers editor and writer Zach Sutton took the time to open up to TogTools owners Jess and Stephen, covering everything from how he got started to in-depth tips on how to begin teaching photography through workshops and diversifying your photography business. While he also contributes to Photofocus and Retouching Academy, Sutton has a strong foundation in his own well-known photography business that has taken him from travel assignments to the most intimate weddings and even well-established workshop tours. Take a hint from those with experience, as this is a rare opportunity for some great, free advice from a seasoned pro.
While the focus of the podcast is on developing educational products such as workshops, Zach also shares some insight on how he got his start as a portrait photographer, and building a following of both clients and photographers. Listen in as Zach shares how he's managed to develop products for photographers, and help the community grow through education. You can see more of Zach's work on his website, and be sure to look into his workshop website if you're interested in knowing more on his educational services.
