The He Shoots, He Draws Podcast

He Shoots, He Draws Podcast, the podcast about creativity, photography, graphic design, business and life! Hosted by designer, Dave Clayton, and photographer, Alan Hess. The show gives you a regular look at the world of all the above.

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.


With over 320,000 downloads worldwide, we bring you the best guests and subjects we can find!

Two friends, myself and Glyn Dewis, a graphic designer and a photographer, combined their knowledge and experience in 2018 to create interesting topics and conversations for this podcast. Since 2020 my cohost has been our great friend, Alan Hess, a San Diego based photographer and author.

So, grab a cuppa and join us as we chat about the things we admire, people that inspire and more. Straight, honest talk among friends with a bit of education and the occasional guest for good measure!
