Ep 126 - Cole Franklin Making People Feel Seen

Épisode 126

mardi 10 novembre 2026 • Durée 58:47

There's a difference between taking a beautiful photograph and making a photograph that actually means something.

On this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, I'm joined by Los Angeles-based photographer Cole Franklin, an emerging creative whose work has appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Surfer Magazine, Forbes, and digital editorials including Elyth and Hazel.

Working across fashion, product, and editorial photography, Cole is building a career around more than just creating visually compelling images. His approach is rooted in storytelling, curiosity, and genuine human connection. Whether he's working with a brand, a creative team, or someone standing in front of his camera, Cole believes the best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves.

And that's something I really appreciate about his approach to photography.

We spend so much time talking about cameras, lighting, equipment, and technique that sometimes we forget about the person on the other side of the lens. The conversations, the trust, and those little moments between photographs can be just as important as the final image.

In this conversation, we explore Cole's journey as a photographer, developing a personal style, navigating the creative industry in Los Angeles, and finding the balance between commercial work and meaningful storytelling. We also get into the importance of building relationships, staying curious, and creating an experience that allows authentic moments to happen naturally.

Because great photography isn't always about getting everything technically perfect. Sometimes it's about paying attention, being present, and recognizing something in another person that deserves to be remembered.

And maybe that's what makes photography so powerful in the first place.

Ep 125 - Omar Z Robles The Art of Movement, Street Photography, and Finding Your Creative Voice

Épisode 125

mardi 3 novembre 2026 • Durée 55:03

What can a photographer learn from a mime? For Omar Z Robles, the answer is just about everything.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico and now based in New York City, Omar has built an extraordinary photographic career by bringing together movement, storytelling, and the unpredictable energy of the streets.

His creative journey began in Paris, where he studied under legendary mime artist Marcel Marceau. It was there that Omar discovered the power of communicating emotion and telling stories through subtle movements, an experience that would eventually shape his distinctive approach to photography.

After years photographing celebrities, athletes, politicians, artists, and everyday people, Omar began looking at New York City differently. Instead of simply documenting life on the streets, he started placing ballet dancers within the city's gritty urban landscapes, creating beautiful contrasts between the elegance of dance and the chaos of everyday life.

His photographs have attracted international attention, appearing in publications including Harper's Bazaar, Mashable, and The Huffington Post. His creative vision has also led to collaborations with brands including Leica, Peak Design, Jaguar, and Gap.

In this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, we sit down with Omar to talk about his journey from Puerto Rico to Paris and New York City, the influence of Marcel Marceau, his love of street photography, and how he developed a photographic style that has connected with audiences around the world.

But beyond the beautiful photographs, this is a conversation about curiosity, creative freedom, trusting your instincts, and understanding that sometimes the most powerful stories don't need words.

Because photography isn't always about what we're looking at. Sometimes it's about what we're feeling.

Ep 124 - John Thatcher On Branding, Creativity & Why Great Work Isn't Enough

Épisode 124

mardi 27 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:10:30

On this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, I sit down with John Thatcher, a San Francisco-based creative leader who has spent the past 15 years working in branding, design, marketing, and storytelling, helping businesses find their identity and connect with the people they're trying to reach.

From high-end designer furniture to cowboy boots, John's career has taken him through some pretty different industries. But whether he's helping launch a campaign, leading a creative team, or working through a complete brand overhaul, the challenge is often the same. How do you take an idea, make it interesting, and turn it into something that actually works?

And more importantly, how do you do that without creating something that looks and sounds like everybody else?

John brings an interesting perspective to the conversation because he understands both sides of the creative business. There's the part where you get to come up with ideas, experiment, and make something you're genuinely excited about. Then there's the part where budgets, deadlines, clients, expectations, and actual business results come into play.

Finding a balance between those two worlds isn't always easy.

Over the years, John has led creative, design, and marketing teams, developed campaigns, helped shape brand identities, and worked on projects where creativity isn't just about making something look good. It has to connect with people, communicate something meaningful, and ultimately help a business grow.

What I find interesting is how much of that applies to photography.

As photographers, we spend a lot of time thinking about cameras, lenses, lighting, editing, and developing our own style. But whether we're trying to build a photography business, attract clients, develop a recognizable identity, or simply get our work noticed, we're also dealing with branding and marketing.

And most of us weren't taught any of that when we first picked up a camera.

John also has a genuine appreciation for photography and photography books, which makes this conversation particularly interesting. There's a connection between understanding great visual work and knowing how to use that visual language to tell a story people actually care about.

Ep 123 - Steve Evans: 30 Years of Portraits, Forgotten Stories & Life in the Ottawa Valley

Épisode 123

mardi 20 octobre 2026 • Durée 36:00

On this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, I sit down with Steve Evans, an award-winning Canadian documentary and portrait photographer based in Wakefield, Canada, whose remarkable project, Life in the Ottawa Valley, has been more than 30 years in the making.

Steve's photography has earned international recognition, including Editor's Choice in the Life Framer Photography Competition, finalist recognition from LensCulture, and Bronze Finalist recognition at the Exposure Awards.

But what makes his work so special isn't the awards or recognition.

It's the people.

While so many photographers travel the world searching for interesting places and extraordinary subjects, Steve found something remarkable right in his own backyard.

Armed with a camera, a recorder, and a genuine curiosity about the people around him, Steve began travelling through Ontario's Ottawa Valley, knocking on doors, introducing himself to complete strangers, and asking if he could hear their stories.

What followed became a decades-long photographic record of a place, its people, and a way of life that has slowly been disappearing.

Farmers, homesteaders, hunters, married couples, and people who had spent their entire lives in the same communities. Many were elderly. Some had never been photographed before. Others couldn't understand why anyone would want to take their picture in the first place.

But Steve saw something worth preserving.

He wasn't looking for celebrities, extraordinary accomplishments, or dramatic events. He was interested in ordinary people living ordinary lives, and the incredible stories that often go unheard simply because nobody takes the time to ask.

Inspired by photographers like Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, August Sander, and Diane Arbus, Steve developed a documentary approach built around patience, trust, conversation, and respect for the people standing in front of his camera.

There's something almost timeless about his portraits. The old wood-panelled rooms, worn furniture, family photographs, calendars, wood stoves, and faces that seem to belong to another era. You can spend ages looking at a single image, discovering little details that tell you something about the person and the life they've lived.

Ep 122 - Ryan J Leone On NYC Photography, Film, Digital & Finding Your Own Way

Épisode 122

mardi 13 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:03:12

New York City has been photographed a million different ways. So how do you make something that actually feels like your own?

On this episode of The PHYS Podcast, I sit down with Ryan J Leone, a New York City photographer and filmmaker working across film and digital photography, commercial projects, editorial assignments, events, and behind-the-scenes content.

Photography in New York is a different animal. There's inspiration on every corner, but there's also no shortage of people with cameras trying to make their mark. Finding your own style, building relationships, getting paid for your work, and keeping that excitement you had when you first picked up a camera isn't always easy.

Ryan works across different sides of the industry, from the slower, more deliberate process of shooting film to the demands of digital photography and commercial production. It's a world where you need to be creative, adaptable, and ready to figure things out when the plan goes sideways.

One thing I appreciate about Ryan's approach is that he shares more than just the finished product. Through his behind-the-scenes content and photography tips, he gives people a look at the work that goes into making photographs. The decisions, the techniques, the equipment, and the stuff that doesn't always make it onto Instagram.

We get into photography, filmmaking, the differences between film and digital, working with clients, and what it takes to build a creative career in a city that never really slows down.

But what interests me most is the person behind the camera.

What keeps someone creating? How do you find your own voice when you're surrounded by so much incredible work? And how do you make a living doing something you love without losing the part that made you fall in love with it in the first place?

Ep 121 - Noel McIntyre - The Photograph Is Only the Beginning

Épisode 121

mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:18:13

Noel McIntyre has one hell of a résumé. But that’s not really why I wanted to talk to him.

Noel is an award-winning photographer and filmmaker based in Mullingar, Ireland, whose work crosses documentary, reportage, street photography, filmmaking and sport.

He’s been named IPPVA Irish Reportage Photographer of the Year three years in a row, his work has been selected for multiple Leica Mastershots, and in 2026 he placed third in the World Sports Photography Awards.

His documentary work around Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann became a bestselling book and is now held by institutions including Trinity College Dublin, Oxford’s Bodleian Library and Cambridge University Library.

Then there’s “Frenzy.”

In 2025, the photograph was selected for Ireland’s Higher Level Leaving Certificate Art examination, where students were asked to critically discuss Noel’s work alongside some pretty ridiculous company, including Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

That’s all incredibly impressive.

But I wanted to know about Noel McIntyre, the photographer.

What makes him stop and raise the camera?

How does he know when there’s actually a story in front of him?

How do you photograph real people without taking away the thing that made the moment interesting in the first place?

Ep 120 - Pale Blue Wave: Photographing Strangers, Human Connection & Just Doing the Work.

mercredi 23 septembre 2026 • Durée 47:59

On this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, Tyson Martin sits down with Ryan Daniel, better known as Pale Blue Wave, a Portland-based street photographer, portrait photographer, filmmaker, and visual storyteller known for approaching complete strangers and documenting the people and stories he encounters.

Ryan’s journey into photography began after years of chronic pain, hip surgery, depression, and a long recovery that changed the way he saw the world. As he slowly began walking again, he found himself noticing the small things around him differently. Eventually, picking up a camera gave him a way to capture those moments and reconnect with life.

That experience evolved into Pale Blue Wave, a street portrait project built around spontaneous human connection.

Ryan walks the streets of Portland, Oregon, approaches people he has never met, creates their portrait, and often spends 30–40 minutes simply talking and listening. Those encounters become photographs, short films, social media videos, and increasingly long-form documentary stories.

In this conversation, Ryan and Tyson talk about street photography, portrait photography, creativity, mental health, chronic pain, overcoming fear, approaching strangers, documentary filmmaking, social media, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, viral videos, and the realities of trying to build a life as a full-time creator.

Ryan also shares the story behind the name Pale Blue Wave, inspired partly by Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot, and why he sees life as moving between riding the top of the wave and occasionally getting smashed into the rocks.

They discuss Ryan’s viral portrait of Portland artist Red Van Grove, what happens when millions of people suddenly see your work, the dangers of becoming obsessed with followers and analytics, and why long-form storytelling has become increasingly important to him.

But underneath all of it is a much simpler philosophy:

You either do the work, or you don’t do the work.

You can be nervous. You can feel awkward. You can be afraid of rejection.

You can still walk up to someone and ask to make their portrait.

Ep 119 - Wayne Simpson: Creating Powerful Portraits Through Story, Emotion & Connection

Épisode 119

mercredi 9 septembre 2026 • Durée 58:02

On this episode of The PHYS Podcast, I sit down with Wayne Simpson, an Ojibwe photographer from Aamjiwnaang First Nation, based in Elora, Ontario.

Wayne is known for his dramatic portrait photography and atmospheric landscape work. His portraits have a cinematic, almost mythic quality—images that immediately make you wonder about the person in front of the camera and the story behind their face.

But those photographs don't begin with lighting or camera settings.

They begin with connection.

Wayne actively seeks out many of the people he photographs, takes the time to build relationships with them, and uses photography to explore character, emotion and the stories we carry.

We talk about Wayne's journey from working as a graphic designer in Calgary to becoming a full-time professional photographer, how he developed his distinctive visual style, and what he's learned about creating photographs that actually make people feel something.

We also explore his Ojibwe identity, creativity, portraiture, landscape photography, visual storytelling, working with people, and the importance of finding your own voice as a photographer.

As an educator, Wayne leads portrait and landscape photography workshops across Canada, from Banff National Park to Prince Edward Island, and contributes to the OFFBEAT photography community.

His award-winning photography has appeared in Canadian Geographic, Outdoor Photography Canada, Outdoor Photography Magazine, Canadian Rockies Annual, Legion Magazine, Nature Photographers Network, Dark Beauty, and numerous books around the world.

Ep 118 - Brie Stockwell: Photography, Creative Confidence & Building a Sustainable Creative Life

Épisode 118

mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 01:13:00

What happens when photography becomes more than making beautiful images and becomes a way to better understand yourself, your creativity, and how you see the world?

On this episode of The PHYS Podcast, host Tyson Martin sits down with Brie Stockwell, a nature and landscape photographer, creative coach, and podcast host whose work explores the quiet beauty of wild places.

Brie is drawn to deserts, dunes, soft light, subtle colour, infrared black-and-white photography, and the small details we often overlook. Her approach to landscape photography is rooted in slowing down, paying attention, and developing a deeper relationship with the natural world.

In 2019, Brie made the decision to take her photography seriously as a creative practice. That commitment eventually led to a self-organized solo exhibition in 2021, a turning point that changed not only her photography, but also her confidence, creative identity, and vision for what was possible.

Her work has since earned significant recognition. Brie was named Grand Prize winner of the 21st Annual New Mexico Magazine Photo Contest, with additional work published in Lens Journal and featured in multiple volumes of the Natural Landscape Photography Awards books.

But this conversation goes far beyond photography.

Alongside her work behind the camera, Brie is a life coach for creative professionals, working with photographers, artists, and designers to help them navigate creative confidence, intuition, personal growth, and the challenges of building a sustainable and meaningful creative life.

She is also the host of Wild Women in Photography, a podcast exploring the lived experiences of women photographers, creative identity, and finding your voice behind the camera, as well as The Complete Creative, where she explores creativity, intuition, and what it means to create a life around the work that matters to you.

In this episode, we talk about landscape and nature photography, infrared photography, finding your photographic voice, creative confidence, overcoming self-doubt, coaching creatives, connecting with nature, building a sustainable creative practice, and learning to trust your own way of seeing.

Ep 117 - Ben Girardi On Adventure, Action Sports Photography & Storytelling in the Mountains

mercredi 12 août 2026 • Durée 47:39

What does it take to create photographs that make people feel like they're standing in the middle of the adventure?

In this episode of The PHYS Podcast, Tyson Martin sits down with award-winning adventure and action sports photographer Ben Girardi to explore a career built on documenting movement, wild landscapes, and authentic human connection.

Originally from upstate New York and now based in Pemberton, British Columbia, Ben shares how snowboarding first sparked his passion for photography, why moving west changed the direction of his life, and how becoming immersed in the sports he photographs allows him to tell more honest and compelling stories.

Recognized as one of Lürzer's Archive 200 Best Photographers Worldwide (2025/26), a Red Bull Illume Semi-Finalist, and an award recipient from the International Color Awards and Flow Photo Contest, Ben has established himself as one of Canada's leading outdoor and adventure photographers.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Growing up in upstate New York and discovering photography through snowboarding
• Moving to British Columbia to pursue a creative career
• Photographing mountain biking, snowboarding, skiing, and outdoor adventure
• Why understanding athletes makes stronger photographs
• The relationship between landscape, sport, and visual storytelling
• Capturing authentic moments in unpredictable environments
• Working with athletes, brands, and editorial clients
• Building a career in commercial and adventure photography
• Creativity, perseverance, and finding purpose outdoors

Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, outdoor enthusiast, mountain biker, snowboarder, skier, or someone inspired by stories of creativity and exploration, this conversation offers an inside look at the mindset behind meaningful visual storytelling.
