Paul Ernest is a Visual Storyteller like you may have never seen before. His tagline is “Every Soul Has a Purpose and Every Purpose Has a Story”. That my friends is deep, and it is the perfect description of his approach to his art.

Paul began his career in advertising design, after receiving his BFA at the University of North Texas. Having been brought up in a family of fine artists and writers, he decided to pursue his love of photography and storytelling imagery. Experimenting with a style combining composite photography with visually tactile elements and a warm color palette, Paul creates art that not only has a story, but is visually complex. Combining his passion for storytelling, Paul released his first image entitled “Chasing Butterflies” in 2009, and since then Paul has gone on to create numerous collections telling stories of healing, growth and inspiration.

“We live through stories… stories that are handed down to us through seasons and generations. We are inspired by stories and live to write our own narrative and our own contribution of life to tell.” –Paul Ernest

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.
