227: Colby McLemore - Food Photography for Fun and Profit

The Profitable Photographer

Welcome back to another delicious episode of The Profitable Photographer Podcast. Today’s guest has been on the show before. He is a true visual storyteller, the owner of Colby's Photos and Video, located near Knoxville in the Smoky Mountains, and has become a very dear friend. Please welcome back, Colby McLemore!

With a full-time commitment to photography and videography for companies and individuals, Colby has earned a reputation for his caring, fun, and easy-going demeanor, all while maintaining the utmost professionalism. He is known for his meticulous attention to detail, creativity that's as clean and fresh as the mountain air, and a unique ability to follow up, follow through, and give each project his all.

Believe it or not, in all of the 200 episodes of The Profitable Photographer Podcast, I’ve only chatted with one other food photographer. That changes this week as Colby shares anything and everything related to food photography with us. Colby and I always have a great conversation, but I especially enjoyed today’s chat and learning from one of the best about this unique niche of photography.
