Excellent ideas! It’s very valuable for a photographer to have their own website. Of your ideas I really like Photoshop tips and tricks, wedding photography advice, travel photography tips, best tips for showcasing your images and your worst photography moments, especially.
Wedding photography seems to be most in demand, so useful information pertaining to the subject is always beneficial. Also, travel photography can be a challenge, so tips in this area can be really helpful as well. I have a few photographer friends and I will definitely pass your post along to them for some ideas, well done!
Thank you. Yes, travel, weddings, and Photoshop tips are big because all photographers use Photoshop and travel. Not all photograph weddings, but many do. I think being vulnerable with your readers is probably my favorite tip. It makes you real to them, not just some person with a blog.
