You’ve mastered the gear. You’ve followed the rules. You’ve built the portfolio.
And somehow, it still doesn’t feel like enough.

The Terrible Photographer Podcast is a short, honest series for creatives who’ve done everything “right” and are still wondering if they’re any good.

Hosted by commercial photographer and recovering perfectionist Patrick Fore, this show skips the gear talk and dives straight into the insecurity, burnout, and weird hope that drives the creative process.

It’s not a podcast about how to grow your following.
It’s about what happens when your presets stop working… and your confidence does too.

Each episode is 10–15 minutes of unfiltered stories, creative philosophy, and painfully accurate observations from a working photographer who’s spent just enough time in the industry to be disillusioned — but not enough to quit.

Whether you’re brand new or ten years in, if you’ve ever felt behind, faked your confidence, or wanted to set your camera on fire — this is for you.

New episodes every week!
