The Nerdy Photographer Podcast


Mar 7, 2023

Heading to WPPI 2023 in Las Vegas? That's the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International for those who don't know, and it's the largest photography convention around.

Our guest for this episode, and, for the moment, the most frequent guest on the show, Leighton DaCosta  is giving us a preview of the convention as well as thoughts on what to do while you're in Vegas.

But that's not all we are discussing in this episode. We also touch on why it is important for photographers to have insurance, both on your gear and liability insurance.

Finally, we touch on machine learning and artificial intelligence and how photographers can benefit from implementing it in their business. More on AI and photography coming in future episodes!
