Welcome to the part of the internet where sugar-coating is banned, gatekeeping gets torched, and photographers finally get the no-BS advice they actually need. I’m Khandie of Khandie Photography, and if you’ve landed here, you’re either ready to grow your photography business or you’ve just stumbled into the wildest pep talk you never knew you needed.

Either way—welcome.

The Loud Lens: A Podcast for Photographers Who Are Sick of the Same Old Advice

Let’s rewind.

A while back, a fellow photographer (a proper old-school lad) had the audacity to tell me I was “getting too big for my boots.”

Now, most would smile, nod, and shrink back into their comfort zone.

Not me.

I simply replied, “Then maybe you need to buy bigger boots, mate.”

And that’s how The Loud Lens podcast was born.

It’s not just a mic and some mild chat. It’s a battle cry for every UK photographer tired of second-guessing themselves, sick of gatekeepers hoarding knowledge, and done with playing small in an industry that rewards loud, proud, and talented creatives.

Why This Podcast Hits Different

You’ve heard the polite, polished business podcasts. You know the ones—the hosts speak in soft tones, drop a few vague marketing tips, and finish with a “you’ve got this” whisper.

Yeah… that’s not me.

The Loud Lens is blunt, brash, brutally honest—and it’s packed with value. Every episode is a raw, unfiltered look behind the scenes of running a photography business in the UK. We’re talking about:

• Why you’re not shadowbanned—you’re just boring online.
• The real reason you’re not booking clients (hint: it’s not the algorithm).
• Why gear doesn’t matter as much as graft.
• What styled shoots won’t fix in your failing business.

And loads more.

This is real talk for real photographers who actually want to make money and a name for themselves.

Who It’s For (AKA Why You Should Be Listening)

If you’re just starting out in photography and feeling overwhelmed by the highlight-reel nonsense online, The Loud Lens is your antidote.

• New photographers wondering if they’re “good enough”
• Freelancers who are tired of being told to work for “exposure”
• Creatives ready to turn their side hustle into serious income
• Anyone who’s ever been told to “tone it down”

If that’s you—get your earbuds in, grab a cuppa (or something stronger), and brace yourself. You’re about to hear the truth about what it takes to run a successful photography business in the UK. No fluff. No filters.

Join the Loud Side

The Loud Lens isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement. A rebellion against the outdated rules of the industry. A rallying cry for every photographer who’s ever been told to “stay in their lane.”

Well, I didn’t. And neither should you.

So if you’re ready to go from overlooked to overbooked, plug in and turn it up.
