It’s tough to know where to start when talking about Frederick Van Johnson. If you listen Behind the Shot then you are most likely aware of the photography podcast world. He is in my opinion one of the best podcasters out there today. When I was originally looking to start Behind the Shot it was Frederick that invited me to be on the TWiP network, it was Frederick that showed me the ropes, and more importantly to me it was Frederick that became my friend. In fact Frederick was my very first guest on an episode about Cinemagraphs called Photos with Life.

From a professional angle Frederick has more experience than most anyone I know. He is best known as the host of This Week in Photo’s namesake podcast, but Frederick wears many hats. He is actually the CEO & Founder of the TWiP Network, not to mention a talented marketing professional, having helped build successful marketing campaigns for fortune 100 companies like Adobe, Apple, Yahoo! and Aol. As a public speaker and educator you can often find him on discussion panels at some of the industries top events, or speaking to companies like AOL, Adobe, Apple, Panasonic, and Data Robotics. For select companies and individuals he will even conduct one-on-one coaching sessions on photography, marketing, business and social media.

This year Frederick has taken the TWiP brand and expanded it’s reach. Now, there is not only the TWiP family of podcasts and the TWiP School, but also the new TWiP Pro community, a space designed for focused conversation and interaction about all things photography. In TWiP Pro members get feedback, guidance, and exclusive content. One of the most popular parts of TWiP is access to the TWiP Critique sessions.

One of things that always strikes me is how many people know of Frederick because of the photo related content he creates, but really are not that familiar with his photography. I want to change that. On this show I am happy to welcome FVJ back on behind the shot to discuss one of his creative works called Lorena Banna.

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.
