Interview | Behind The Shot TV | Lifestyle Photography

Tim Barker March 19, 2023

I was recently invited by Steve Brazil to be recorded an episode with him on his Behind The Shot podcast and Youtube channel. In each episode Steve dissect a single image from the guest photographer to get a better sense of how the image came to be, from conception to completion, and any challenges that happened in between.

For this episode we discussed one of my commercial lifestyle images that I took for a financial technology client of mine. I really enjoyed chatting to Steve and the interview offers a great way to get to know how I go about my assignments so I wanted to share it here as well. Thanks also to Wonderful Machine for introducing me Steve.

The green wings of this young girls costume caught my eye as she was performing the traditional Kinnara & Kinnari bird dance with three other dancers. The Kinnari is depicted as a half-bird, half-woman creature with the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the wings, tail and feet of a swan. Looking for a more interesting angle I circled behind the young girl and then mid dance and for the briefest of moments she leaned back towards me, my instincts kicked in and I framed and focussed and fired one frame before she continued on her way. *Canon 5D Mk II, 35mm f1.4L lens, 1/5000 sec at f1.4, ISO 200.*

In early 2017 I was asked to write some words about my career for an online magazine called "Chasing the Light" which is run by renowned travel and landscape photographer David Noton and in this post I share what I wrote. I explain my career up until 2017, how I ended up living and working as a Vietnam based photographer and I discuss many of my favourite images taken over the years in Bangladesh, Syria, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, The Philippines and Vietnam.
