Encore: Best of B&H Music Photography Podcasts

Author: B&H Photo & Video May 28, 2026 Duration: 56:10

Music photography has always been a listener favorite, and through the years we've gathered countless stories from legendary photographers about what it takes to document all aspects of the music scene.

As we temporarily pause in recording new episodes while we build out a studio for video podcasts, we decided to take a trip down memory lane and feature some noteworthy clips from our 10-year archive.

This compilation of favorite moments celebrates the intersection of photographic mastery and music history, with talents spanning from Lynn Goldsmith to Mick Rock, Jeanette Beckman to Graham Nash, among the many other dedicated music photographers we've had the pleasure to interview. 

If you'd like to take a deeper dive into any of the original episodes, you'll find links in our episode timeline below.
