Humble Togs Podcast

Humble Togs Podcast

The Humble Togs Podcast is a conversation-driven show about the humans behind the cameras. Each episode sits down with a member of Humble Togs Club for an honest 30–45 minute conversation about their life, their path into photography, and the experiences that shaped them as creatives and as humans. This isn’t a technical photography podcast. You won’t hear deep dives into camera settings, gear reviews, or complicated lighting diagrams. Instead, this show focuses on the real stories photographers carry with them. Photography attracts people from every background imaginable. Teachers, parents, engineers, nurses, artists, people rebuilding their confidence, people chasing a long-delayed creative dream, and people who simply want to make something meaningful in the middle of busy lives. The Humble Togs Podcast gives those people a voice. Each episode is an interview with a member of the club that explores the journey behind the images — the wins, the doubts, the pivots, the unexpected turns, and the moments that made someone fall in love with photography in the first place. Many photographers quietly struggle with comparison, imposter syndrome, and the feeling that everyone else has things figured out. Hearing someone else say, “I’ve felt that too,” can be deeply powerful. These conversations are meant to remind listeners that uncertainty, self-doubt, and creative frustration are normal, even necessary, parts of the process. Alongside member stories, host Kurt Sneddon also shares openly about his own journey as a photographer and business owner — including the parts people usually leave out. The successes, the failures, the setbacks, the grind of building a creative business, and the reality that even experienced professionals are constantly figuring things out as they go. Success in photography — and in any creative field — isn’t a straight line. It’s messy, unpredictable, and often harder than it looks from the outside. The goal of this podcast is to make that reality visible, and to show that progress is possible when people support each other instead of competing against each other. At its core, The Humble Togs Podcast is about community. It’s about hearing real stories from real photographers who care about creativity, growth, and helping each other get a little better over time. It’s about creating a space where photographers feel encouraged rather than judged, supported rather than compared, and connected rather than isolated. If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one struggling to figure things out, this podcast is for you. And if you believe photography communities should lift people up instead of tearing them down, you’ll feel right at home here. Welcome to The Humble Togs Podcast - where photographers share the journey, not just the highlight reel.

Most people don’t talk about this part of the creative process.

The moment where you seriously consider quitting.

Not because you don’t love photography…


But because of how people treat you when you put your work out there.

In this episode, I sit down with Jessa Scott — a photographer who went through exactly that.

After being torn apart online when she was just starting out, Jessa hit a point where walking away from photography felt li...

Nobody likes talking about their mistakes.

Most people hide from them. Or feel shame about the idea of failing.

But if you’ve been doing photography (or living as a human lol) for any amount of time… you’ve made them.

Bad shoots. Missed moments. Edits that didn’t land.

Situations where you walked away thinking, “That could’ve gone a lot better.”

In this episode, I sit down with Erin Brooks to talk about the side of photography most peop...

Kate shares her journey from picking up a camera as a kid, to running a successful legal business, to eventually stepping into photography full-time after a major life reset.

But this episode isn’t about a per...

Imposter Syndrome: Friend or Foe? (And When Do You Get to Feel Like A “Professional Photographer"?)

At what point do you actually become a “real” photographer?

Because for a lot of creatives… that moment never comes.

There’s always another level.

Another photographer you come across that makes you feel like you’re not quite there yet.

Even at the top.

Think about names like Annie Leibovitz or Roger Deakins — do they feel like th...

Most “constructive criticism” in photography… isn’t constructive at all.

Welcome to the very first episode of The Humble Togs Podcast — where photographers of all experience levels share the journey, not just the highlight reel.

This podcast exists for a reason.

Because a lot of photographers (especially beginner photographers) have had the same experience…

You post your work, ask for “constructive criticism”… and walk away feeling wor...
