Welcome to the PhotoCon “Click. Conquer. Create.” Blog — Where Photographers Come to Share, Learn & Inspire

Hey friends — welcome to the very first post of the brand new PhotoCon Click. Conquer. Create. Blog — where creativity isn’t just celebrated, it’s shared.

If you’ve ever attended PhotoCon (or even just followed us online), you know we’re a little obsessed with all things photography — but even more obsessed with the people behind the cameras. The energy. The stories. The lessons learned. The gear geek-outs. The “aha!” moments. And of course, the friendships built along the way.

That’s exactly why we started this blog.

Why “Click. Conquer. Create.”?

Because those three words pretty much sum up the creative journey:

  • Click — Take the shot. Take the chance. Say yes to trying something new.

  • Conquer — Push through the learning curve, face the doubts, and overcome challenges.

  • Create — Make something amazing that reflects your voice, your vision, and your passion.

A Blog Powered by Community

This blog isn’t about one voice or one way of doing things. It’s powered by the PhotoCon community — which means it’s powered by you.

We’re inviting past, present, and future PhotoCon speakers, along with creatives from all over — local, regional, and national — to share their stories, experiences, and behind-the-scenes looks at what they do best. Through words, images, videos, and conversations, you’ll hear directly from the people who live and breathe photography every day.

Some posts will teach.

Some posts will inspire.

Some posts might even make you rethink how you approach your next shoot.

But at the end of the day, every post will remind you:

You’re not in this alone.

Community Over Competition

The photography world can feel competitive — we get it. But at PhotoCon, we believe in something better: community over competition.

When we share what we’ve learned, celebrate each other’s wins, and support each other’s creative journeys, we all grow. This blog is here to be that space. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been shooting for decades, there’s always something new to learn — and someone new to meet.

What’s Coming Next

  • Interviews with your favorite PhotoCon speakers (and some surprise guests)

  • Educational posts and how-to tips

  • Real-world stories from photographers chasing their dreams

  • Behind-the-scenes peeks into workshops, shoots, and creative processes

  • Plenty of inspiration, laughs, and lightbulb moments

So grab your coffee (or your energy drink of choice), bookmark us, and get ready to Click. Conquer. Create. right alongside your fellow photographers.

Because together, we create something even better.

Stay tuned — our first guest contributor is already getting ready to share their story.
