He Shoots, He Draws Podcast

Glyn and Dave return from Adobe Max in Los Angeles and give you an update about the event, the great people they met and also dealing with some very negative online comments about Photoshop CC2019. On episode 44 we chat to Photoshop legend Bert Monroy, recorded at Adobe Max 2018.

This week Glyn interviewed a friend from his school days, Nathan Black. Nathan was the kid that everyone wanted to be: good looking, tough, he had muscle, all the girls chased him..he had it all. However in later life he has had serious physical and medical illness and it's through his strength of character and positivity he's alive today! No matter what you're experiencing in life have faith that it will work out. Good times are ahead, just stick in there as Nathan has because through darkness there is light!

This week Glyn and Dave chat to photographer Peter Hurley - the headshot guy who created "The Peter Hurley Look", "The Squinch" and of course SHABANG! We chat to Peter how a schoolkid with little confidence starts of sailing and ends up with a modelling career with Ralph Lauren / Polo and ends up being a successful photographer, teacher and author....and still a decent sailor!

Following on from the Lenny Terenzi episode, Dave and Glyn got chatting about friendship and relationships in business and life and how to make sure you know how to balance and manage them to the best possible outcome. Hopefully after listening you'll find a way of making sure your friendships stay strong and your business continues to grow with their support and help.

This week we speak to a man we both admire as a professional and a friend, Jason Levine. Many of you may know Jason in his role as Principal Worldwide Evangelist for Adobe Creative Cloud and seen him presenting at many of the Worldwide Adobe events, dubbed by some as Adobe Jesus! Jason tells us about his beginnings and what the role means to him.

Dave chats to HeyDesign's Lenny Terenzi. Dave met Lenny earlier this year at Creative South and as they kept in touch Dave saw Lenny post a heartfelt and very honest blog post about the struggles of running your own business and how to break out of that bad situation. It's honest, frank and full of great advice!

This week Glyn decided to interview Dave about his background in graphic design and why he thinks it is awesome. They spoke about Dave's unorthodox entry into the industry via a mix of very different, non design related jobs. This is part one of what will be a two part interview, the second to follow soon. If you want to know what makes Dave tick - this is the episode for you!

Glyn sat down with David Edmonson and his son, Luke, both incredible photographers for a very personal chat about life and photography but it's more than that for both of them. David has over 40 years in the industry and is truly a 'Master Photographer'. Join Glyn, David and Luke for a very intimate conversation.

Glyn and Dave chatted to UK's very own, proper award winning studio and portrait photographer Hannah Couzens. Hannah is an absolute powerhouse of a businesswoman, photographer and all round lovely person. We first met Hannah at The Photography Show and have both followed her career for a few years, she chats about how she made a very focused start in her business at the young age of 19 and how she's worked damn hard to build that and maintain it.

This week I got to have an awesome chat with the man behind Recapturist and the best selling book 'Junk Type', Bill Rose. Bill has spent over a decade travelling around America capturing the lost roadside treasures of the USA. Neon signs, logo design, junk type, shop fronts and anything that catches his eye to preserve in a photograph. Check out Bill's site recapturist.com to see his collection and his map of treasure! This interview was an absolute joy!

Going it alone when you believe in your abilities is always a risk. We speak to Matt Kloskowski, formerly of KelbyOne and OnOne, and now founder of Matt Kloskowski Photography and Training. He specializes in outdoor, landscape, and nature photography along with editing with Photoshop, Lightroom, and ON1 apps. Matt was inducted into the Photoshop Hall of Fame in 2014 and is the best-selling author of over 20 books. Matt loves to educate others and spends much of his time teaching seminars around the world. We first met Matt during our NAPP days and when it comes to training, you won't find much better than Matt in terms of content and business knowledge.

It's an absolute pleasure this week to chat to our old friend Moose Peterson. Who is Moose you may ask? Well, Moose’s true passion has always been and remains photographing the life history of our endangered wildlife and wild places. Since 1981 he and his wife Sharon have dedicated their lives to this pursuit.
