Backdrop Podcast

Valuable photography information masquerading as idle chit-chat.

Like all human beings on planet Earth, I love podcasts. And also like every other human being on planet Earth, I had a podcast. But I was genuinely committed to making this one different.

Inspired by the Breaking Bad Insider Podcast, I interviewed professionals involved in all aspects of still and motion photography. Among others, I spoke candidly with a key grip (what do they do?), a location scout (how do they do it?) and even two recent art school school grads (why do they do it to themselves?).

As creative director of the entire production, I assembled a group of extremely talented people to help assemble this podcast. I oversaw the branding/identity as well as art directed/designed episode covers and worked closely with a seasoned studio photographer for promo imagery and a music composer for all original content for the intros/outros and bumpers. Lastly, all script writing, voiceover work and audio production was done by me.

It aired for just over a year and was discontinued because I decided to move overseas. Good times.

The Backdrop Instagram account @thisisbackdrop is still up and has more info on the entire run of episodes.
