PhotographyTalk.com was founded on the simple idea that photography should be accessible to everyone. My name is Alex Schult, and I’ve been passionate about photography my entire life. For over two decades, I’ve worked as a professional photographer specializing in landscape photography. I started PhotographyTalk with a dream: to help others achieve their photography goals with resources that are both practical and inspiring.

Over the last 15 years, PhotographyTalk has evolved into a leading platform that helps photographers of all skill levels—whether you’re just starting out or you’re a seasoned pro. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive, easy-to-follow tutorials, gear reviews, and tips so you can turn your photography passion into a skill set you’re proud of.

While the site has undergone changes over the years, we’ve always stayed true to our mission: to empower photographers with knowledge and tools that help them capture life’s moments in the most beautiful way possible.

Our library includes:

Real-life lessons: Learn what you really want to know with tips that make a difference in your photography.
Camera mastery: We help you understand your equipment so you can shoot with confidence.
Expert interviews: Tap into the knowledge of professional photographers who’ve been where you are and can guide you forward.
Business advice: If you’re looking to make money from your passion, we offer advice on how to set up a photography business or sell your work.

Here’s what sets us apart:

• We provide impressive lessons and pointers you can use right away.
• We cut through the noise to offer real solutions, not just theory.
• Our community has grown to millions of photographers who trust us to deliver top-notch content that’s worth their time.

When I started PhotographyTalk, I wanted to find a resource that dove deep into photography. I was tired of expensive courses and drawn-out lessons that didn’t teach the practical skills I needed. I envisioned a platform that shared the secrets of the pros but was also accessible to everyday photographers who just want to get better.

That’s where PhotographyTalk came in. I wanted to create a site that wasn’t just another photography website, but a true resource. Over the years, we’ve expanded our content to include hands-on guides, reviews, and interviews with some of the world’s best photographers.

But PhotographyTalk is more than just a collection of lessons and articles—it’s a community of like-minded individuals who share a love of photography. Together, we’ve helped photographers develop their skills, perfect their techniques, and even turn their hobbies into careers.

Our mission at PhotographyTalk is to make photography more accessible, enjoyable, and profitable for everyone. We believe that with the right resources, anyone can take great photos, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Whether you’re looking to improve your skills, find the best gear, or make your mark in the photography world, PhotographyTalk is the place to start your journey.

While the road hasn’t always been smooth—like the challenges we faced when a cyberattack affected our site in August 2024—our commitment to providing high-quality content hasn’t wavered. The PhotographyTalk you see today might not have all the features it once did, but we’re constantly working to improve, grow, and get back to where we were—and beyond.

We’re excited about the future and can’t wait to continue helping photographers around the world realize their creative potential. We hope you’ll join us on this journey!
