Write for Us Photography: Photography Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Photography content online is mostly gear talk. What this blog wants is the working photographer's view: how you found clients, shot for brands, and grew a following that books, from someone who does it.

My readers run small businesses and personal brands. Some are photographers, and many hire them or shoot their own content, so a photography post has to teach from real shoots and real business lessons.

60-second photography guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you shot the work or run the business you describe
• Do you have real images, a booking number or a before and after
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one brand

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• How a photographer found steady clients, with the numbers
• A brand or product shoot, from brief to final images
• Shooting better business content on a phone, from real examples
• Social media that turned followers into bookings
• Running a photography business, and what you would do differently

If your post could be published on any photography site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Gear reviews copied from spec sheets
• Promotion of one brand, preset pack or course
• Generic photo tips anyone could copy
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong photography pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the best camera for beginners." A strong one says "I filled my wedding calendar for a year by posting one full story from a real day each week instead of single images, so I want to show the post format and the enquiries it brought." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Finding steady clients
• A brand shoot from brief to delivery
• Better business content on a phone
• Followers into bookings
• A contrarian view on gear upgrades

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept photography guest posts?

Yes. Photography guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline gear reviews copied from spec sheets.

What photography topics do you accept?

We accept running a photography business, brand and product shoots, content photography for businesses, social media for photographers, and lessons from real shoots. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a photography guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a photography guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a photography pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: I filled my wedding calendar for a year by posting one full story from a real day each week instead of single images, so I want to show the post format and the enquiries it brought.
