Interview | Behind The Shot TV | Lifestyle Photography

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.
