He Shoots, He Draws Podcast

Join us for a candid and insightful discussion as three seasoned photography podcasters— Dave Clayton (He Shoots, He Draws), Kersten Luts (Camera Shake podcast) and Steve Brazill (Behind the Shot) — we share our experiences, challenges, and triumphs in creating and maintaining our own design and photography podcasts.

James Barnard is back! One year on, exactly, we chat about how his world has changed so much since we first spoke, his TikTok and Instagram presence was flourishing but so much has happened in the past 12 months for him that I wanted to really do a recap with him and see how is world is today, both business and as a recognisable influence on the design industry. And he's such a bloody nice bloke too!

We are super honoured to have one of the industries top Production Designers, Dave Blass, as our guest for the next two episodes. Dave recently worked on Star Trek Picard, The Boys, Justified, Preacher and many more. Dave talks about our love of Star Trek, his path to where he is today and the experiences he's encountered getting there. It's a great conversation!

In this episode I had a very frank and honest conversation with our guest Radim Malinic about working through mental health and trying to remain creative and undistracted by the social world around us. Radio is a creative director and designer living and working in South West London. He runs Brand Nu, a branding and creative design studio. //In partnership with The photoshop Creativity Summit//

This week I am so pleased to have Liz Mosley on the show, Liz runs a very successful branding business but also teaches, creates content for Adobe, runs a very good podcast and more. We chat about all the things that make up what running a creative business requires these days to maintain momentum and success.

We are leading up the The Photography Show 17-20 September so here is a replay episode of one of the Super Stage guests, Chase Jarvis. Chase is an award-winning artist, entrepreneur and the Founder of CreativeLive and now author of his new book Creative Calling. We chatted with Chase about the creative process and how we should take on the challenge and lifestyle of being a creative person. It was a really interesting discussion and we'd love to hear what you think. Chase's book is available on Amazon and all good book stores.

Please enjoy this replay episode from 2020 with the wonderful Elise Swopes. This week's guest is a delightful young photographer, speaker, influencer and hard working creative powerhouse, New York based Elise Swopes. Elise has taken mobile creativity to a whole new place, having built a name for herself through hard work and persistence, we chat to Elise about her beginnings and how she has crafted her brand and abilities to become one of the brightest new influencers in photography, film making and creativity in 2020.

In this episode I talk to graphic designer and friend of the show, Mark Hirons. Mark created Creative Waffle Podcast way back in his teenage years, he's only 24 now, and we chat about how he built his empire and then walked away from it to pursue his career dreams. We chat about how that was for him mentally and how the sacrifices have been worth it, so far! More info in show notes.

This week I am joined by my good, and fast friend, Debbie Clapper. I met Debbie at Creative South, introduced by recent show guest and good friend, diane gibbs. Debbie has a background in graphic design but pivoted her career and pursued her passion into traditional hand drawn art, which is amazing! Debbie was a fantastic guest, please check out her work and hire her!

We welcome the lovely diane gibbs to the show this week, host of creatives ignite podcast and the only person I know who can connect people like a super power! We first met at Creative South conference and been great friends ever since. When you’ve listened, please go and say hi to diane and check out her amazing podcast!!

We're back. Again. Damn working schedules. This week we talk about the woes of computers breaking and how to get back working again. In this instance, Apple MacBooks and more! Plus a little round up of what's been going on in our lives and why we're crap at keeping a regular podcast schedule at the moment!

In this 2 parter, Dave and Alan review 2021, previous guests, gear, books, software, experiences and more! We'll be back with lots more in 2022.

Well, it's been a little while, September actually, but we are back in business after a much needed and enforced break. And we come back in style, we actually got to record in the same room, at Alan's house in San Diego. This is a catch up episode, talking about what we've been up to and what's coming next for us both. Suffice to say, it's good to be back recording again! Huge thanks to @3LeggedThing + @MorallyToxic for supporting my travels with the awesome Valkyrie Camera Bag!
