    Hands on Photography is great
    While not being a photographer, I work with them regularly. Ant is great at not only sharing skills but advice and interesting perspectives as well.

    Ant and _Hands on Photography_: super resource to learn more about videography and photography!
    I have already learned a great deal from this video podcast. Ant calmly guides through some very complex topics, including rescuing photos and videos that were taken in less than perfect settings. Ant is careful to use software packages and processes that are easily accessible, as well. I highly recommend Ant and this show!

    Immediately better photography
    Whether you are a seasoned professional, or you are just starting out, listening to Hands-on Photography will make you a better photographer. I highly recommend starting with season one, episode one and just listening through this entire series, especially for newer photographers. Ant does an amazing job of breaking down concepts in a way that works for every level and every kind of equipment.

    Genuine and informative
    Ant brings his personality to every show and it’s great! He goes over some good skills to have while giving great feedback to his audience. Brings in industry folks to talk through how they shoot and great interviews. Did I say it’s great? Go check him out!

    Great stuff!
    Ant is a very good photographer and also great at teaching photography and post processing photos and videos you’ll learn something every episode. Thanks Ant!!
  • DemandJustice
    Good advice
    Unlike so many other “experts” and podcasters out there, Ant doesn’t attempt to convince you to buy gear or change your shooting style. Instead he focuses on the fundamentals of photography - the exposure triangle, composition, etc. good stuff.

    Great Host, Great Content
    I would describe myself as a hobbyist photographer at best, someone who loves great imagery but often fails to capture it myself. There are plenty of shows out there covering photography, but many are way too advanced for my skill level or seem more focused on how to get max engagement on [insert platform here]. Hands-On Photography is different. Ant Pruitt brings a positive and easygoing approach to photography, encouraging viewers to go out and create while providing plenty of resources for both beginners and those further along in their knowledge. For example, in the span of 3 episodes Ant interviewed professional photographer Scott Bourne, critiqued viewer photos, and did an entire show on the basics of adjusting color in video editing. A little something for everyone. The content itself is great, but part of what makes a show worth following is the host delivering the material. Ant is a pleasant, easygoing individual who clearly loves what he’s talking about and can communicate the points of the episode clearly and easily. HOP is a great show that combines worthwhile information with a very entertaining host.

    He just gets it!
    This guy, Ant Pruitt, gets it. Ant doesn't let fads or his favorite toys dictate what he's going to share with his listeners. Likes and dislikes, it's all on the table. Whether he's personally teaching a new skill that you may endeavor or, interviewing one of the many photography superstars in his orbit, the knowledge and understanding that you leave with will be immeasurable. Ant wants you and, me to get better, to enjoy this craft that can be at times, confounding and intimidating. His podcast is here to get us all to the other side. He loves this stuff and, his enthusiasm and curiosity for the craft is what keeps me tuning in to "Hands-on Photography"

    Great tips!
    I love me some Ant Pruitt! As a beginner/novice photographer, each show and each interview is a wealth of knowledge for me. There is great content for all levels of photography. Ant LOVES his equipment and give great, thorough reviews. He’s also a photography nerd (meant in the best way) and it’s awesome to see his excitement when he talks to his guests. If you’re into photography and or tech, give this one a shot!

    Don't just call him a photographer
    I truly believe Ant is talking directly to me. I bet you do too! Video, video, video. How in the world could Ant know THIS is the learning I've come for and need. I know he's going to break down what I need to know in a simple and concise way for me to be succesful. This is what the man does. He wants us all to create and dominate, so he provides the techniques, helpful hints and suggestions on software that we can all use. If you have a big budget, fine. If you have no budget, fine. He's going to help you succeed in your creative endeavor whatever it may entail. I'm all in on whatever new content the BIG CAT is bringing.

    I know you’re gonna set me straight, but can I do this with Hera, my trusty iPhone ProMax
  • Bdawgno1
    Wait, wait don’t ever stop listening!!
    Peter, Paula, Bill, Michael “the” Danforth let me tell you how much I love thee... let me count the ways. Yes, I am one of the 20 yr listeners of this beautiful podcast and cannot thank you guys enough for making my life so fulfilled on Saturdays. The one time I had the honor to attend your live show in Savannah, GA has been a highlight of my life. Sadly it was also the most horrible highlight of my life. Why? Never got a chance to thank you guys in person how much you mean to me. Anyone who is looking for a podcast: please don’t Wait to listen!!! Love you guys. Don’t ever stop. Thank you.

    Hook up to the best
    One of the best. Easy to listen and more important easy to learn. Photography is harder then it looks (no pun intended). HOP is clean, enjoyable, and goes down smooth.

    Marking Photography Approachable Again
    The host Ant Pruit has a very down to earth manner and does a great job explaining key photography techniques and concepts. Short enough to be easily digestible, but still cover the topic I mostly listen to tech and science focused podcasts, but this is in many ways the most practical.
  • g3423
    Great
    Thanks for teaching me in short weekly videos what I need to learn—but were to lazy to do. And by making them weekly, I have time to practice. Great!
  • Gedawei

  • Razz2
    It’s all about the host
    Ant Pruitt is such a great host. He’s easy to listen to, and he can communicate technical info in a way that’s easy to understand. That makes the top and tricks he shares more helpful. Thanks to TWiT for bring Ant to their family.
  • Maverik56
    Great Addition
    Ant Pruitt is a great addition to the Twit family. I was waiting for a podcast like this one since I’m not an expert when it comes to taking pictures and most books and apps are so advance that for someone who is a novice like me that wants to take better pictures and improve his skills this is the podcast I’ve been waiting for
  • Michael R Moore
    Great Podcast
