Notice how I’ve not included any technical photography blog posts, this would depend on your target audience. If you just wanted to attract fans of your work and future clients then talking technical about photography won’t attract them, it’s more likely to attract other photographers who likely won’t be booking your services. Your task is to appeal to your clients and future clients, what would be helpful for them? What would help them connect to you?
