Photowalks

Author: Steve Brazill January 16, 2020 Duration: 44:55

I first met USA Today’s tech journalist Jefferson Graham the same day I met Frederick Van Johnson. I drove out to watch him record his Talking Tech podcast, which is described on the site as “Your daily consumer tech news update, plus the latest gadget reviews and straight talk about how the latest tech innovations affect you, with USA TODAY’s Jefferson Graham”. His guests that day were Frederick and tech journalist Mark Gurman. Right away it was obvious that there was much more to Jefferson than just being a tech journalist and podcaster. His photography knowledge was front and center. Fast forward a good number of years and Jefferson is still doing the Talking Tech podcast, and a lot more.

Jefferson Graham is a working photographer in the L.A. area, a writer, a podcast host, a video creator, and a darn good guitarist. His Photowalks travel photography series has taken his YouTube viewers all over Southern California, and then some. He has covered great locations, from Dana Point to Morro Bay, Cannon Beach, Oregon, Port Townsend, Washington, Madrid, Lisbon, and even all the way to Tokyo!

Recently I had the pleasure of hosting Jefferson for one of his Photowalks series in my home town in Southern CA, and it was a blast. I was born and raised here, and yet I learned so much by doing the walk with him.

Join all around creative Jefferson Graham and me as we discuss the benefits of doing a photowalk, and get a few tips, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

Images From the Show


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.
