Ep. 020: The Intersection of Photography and Social Media Subscribe via iTunes, Google Play, email or RSS!   Thank you for listening to the No Name Photo Show!   Connect with Brian Matiash and Sharky James on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (all @NoNamePhotoShow).   Did we mention SUBSCRIBE?!!! Please? ;)   Here we are! A new year, a new episode (#20!) and a new guest. With all the resolutions and goals that photographers make, we thought it'd be a great time to dive into the role that social media plays with how we share our work and build our brands. To help bring that conversation to life, we're thrilled to introduce our next guest host, Colby Brown! Usually, each episode consists of two topics but because there was so much great chatter about how social media affects today's photographers, we decided to devote the entire show to it. If you've been looking for ways to help improve how you utilize social media with your photography, definitely listen to this show. And don't you worry... we've also got a fresh portion of "What's On Your Gear Shelf?" waiting to be served up. Tweet your questions and topics with #AskNNPS!
