In need of some blog post ideas for photographers? You landed in the right place!

 

Blogging is so important for photographers because it’s a way of connecting with leads that go beyond just social media. Plus, it’s great for SEO and getting people on to a platform that you actually own and control! But what should you actually be blogging about?

 

A lot of photographers just think they should be blogging their sessions. And while that’s okay, it’s not the ONLY thing to talk about! In fact, there is so much MORE to blog about than you might think!

 

When considering what to blog about as a photographer, think about your ideal client and the types of things they might be searching for. Instead of writing a post titled “Alex and Becky’s Engagement Session” you should title it “Nashville country couple engagement photoshoot”. Those are the kinds of key words that most people would search for vs. someone’s specific names.

 

In this post, I am going to be giving you 10 fool proof blog post ideas that you can use as a photographer to ensure you are on the right track and engaging with your audience, building authority, and boosting SEO.

 

1. “How to Prepare for Your First Photoshoot: What to Wear & What to Expect”

Many clients are nervous before their first shoot. A post like this can guide them through the process, easing their concerns and making them more comfortable.

 

2. “The Best Locations for Photoshoots in [Your City]”

Share your knowledge of local spots that offer the best backdrops for different types of shoots, from urban settings to natural landscapes.

 

3. “How to Pose Like a Pro: Tips for Looking Your Best in Photos”

A lot of clients struggle with posing. Offering easy-to-follow posing tips can make them feel more confident in front of the camera.

Break down how lighting affects the final result of a photo, and explain how you use light creatively to enhance your shots.

 

5. “A Behind-the-Scenes Look at [A Recent Shoot or Project]”

Clients love to see what goes into creating their photos. Share candid moments, the planning process, and fun details from a recent shoot.

 

6. “How to Choose the Perfect Photographer for Your Event”

Many people don’t know what to look for when hiring a photographer. Offer advice on evaluating portfolios, communication, and style preferences.

Compare the experience and results of professional photography to DIY options, highlighting your expertise and why it’s worth the investment.
