It’s hard to believe I have been doing the Behind the Shot Podcast for a year already. With the end of 2017 around the corner I thought it was a good time to take a look back at the amazing guests I have had on the show so far.

In this episode we revisit some of the key moments from the first year of the Behind the Shot podcast, and if you see a show you missed originally be sure to visit the show page and watch the whole episode.

Through the first year I have had three Canon Explorers of light on the show, including Ken Sklute, Rick Sammon (twice), and Jack Reznicki, and photography icons like Trey Ratcliff and Frederick Van Johnson. I have had the pleasure of chatting with amazing photographers and artists like Anya Anti, Dustin Jack, Alan Hess, Robby Klein, Martin Bailey, Troy Miller, Dana McMullen, Craig Colvin, Peter Levshin, Chris Berry, Paul Ernest, Cole Thompson, PhotoJoseph, Matthias Hombauer, Noam Galai, Anthony D’Angio, Scott Dworkin, Brett Stanley, Brad Moore, Scott Hirano, and Ben Horne. It’s truly been an amazing experience.

In 2018 I will continue to get guests on the show that will inspire you, and help improve your craft. Based on guests I have already booked, next year is looking great.

Thank you for the shares, mentions, iTunes reviews, and for the help, support, and guest suggestions. You have made this experience fantastic.

Steve Brazill hosts Behind the Shot-Video, a series that goes far beyond gear lists and camera settings. Each conversation is a deep exploration of the creative and technical journey behind compelling images. You’ll hear working photographers unpack the entire process-from the initial spark of an idea and the challenges of the location to the critical decisions made in post-production. This podcast sits at the unique intersection of art and practical technology, offering tangible lessons for anyone looking to improve their visual storytelling. Rather than abstract theory, these discussions provide a real-world look at problem-solving under pressure and the artistic choices that define a signature style. Tune in for honest, detailed breakdowns that reveal how memorable shots are truly built, layer by layer. It’s an essential resource for visual artists seeking both inspiration and actionable knowledge, all grounded in the lived experience of accomplished creators.
