Making Better Portraits by Having Fun

Making Better Portraits by Having Fun

Author: Steve Brazill October 10, 2019 Duration: 44:47

When it comes to photography podcasts, The Candid Frame is one of the best there is. It is constantly on a a list somewhere, like the new list from PHLEARN of “The Best Podcasts for Photographers“. The reason for that, or at least the reason I believe that is the case, is because of it’s host Ibarionex Perello.

Ibarionex is many things, an L.A. photographer specializing in people and street photography, an educator and author, but for many his name is synonymous with photography podcasting. The Candid Frame episode #1 was released way back in February of 2006…. think about that. Did you even know what a podcast was back then? At the time of this show he is on episode #482. Wow. That my friends is the stuff of legends.

What I hope to do is introduce you to an Ibarionex you may not know as well, the photographer. Ibarionex knows photography, and looking through his work is a study of light and shape. He has authored six books on the subject including Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography Using Available Light, 5D Mark III From Snapshot to Great Shots, and Adobe Master Class: Photoshop. His latest book is Making Photographs: Developing a Personal Visual Workflow. Ibarionex is a master at the interview, but because of that I think some people miss the artist. Let’s fix that today.

Join photographer, writer, educator and podcaster Ibarionex Perello and me as we take a look at how he captures such fun portraits, like the one we discuss on this show of the wonderful Dick Van Dyke, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

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.
