Noam Galai is an Israeli born photographer, now based in New York City. The odds are very good that you may have seen one, or ten, of his celebrity portraits, and his work puts him in an elite group of photographers.

As a commercial celebrity and entertainment photographer Noam has photographed some of the most iconic faces and moments of our time. Beyoncé, Jamie Foxx, professional sporting events, the 9/11 Memorial – from the air, and Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

His list of publications is pretty long, but to name a few: People Magazine, USA Today, LIFE Magazine, National Geographic, The Rolling Stone, Vogue, Us Weekly, Sports Illustrated, and Time Magazine – where his image of then candidate Donald Trump graced the March 2016 cover.

Noam is amazingly good, yet his claim to fame isn’t because of a commercial shoot. He is best known for his own face, or more to the point, his scream.

Join Noam and me on this episode of Behind the Shot as we take a look at how a simple social media post of a selfie made Noam a household face around the world.

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.
