In this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, host Tyson Martin sits down with Los Angeles–based photographer and former cinematographer Dennys Ilic, a world-class portrait artist whose work bridges Hollywood, cinema, and deeply human storytelling.

With a background in cinematography, including shooting the multi-award-winning film Face to Face and lensing the first digital feature film in India. Dennys has spent the last 18+ years building an extraordinary career as a professional photographer working across film, television, editorial, and music.

Dennys is best known for his edgy, soulful portraits of some of the most recognizable faces in the world, including Daniel Radcliffe, Jason Momoa, Halle Berry, Viola Davis, Keanu Reeves, Ryan Reynolds, Glenn Close, Cindy Crawford, Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Rosario Dawson, Lawrence Fishburne, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Hart, and many more. For five years, he photographed Daniel Radcliffe for Warner Bros, creating covers and editorial imagery used across hundreds of international publications tied to the Harry Potter franchise and beyond.

His work has been commissioned by Warner Bros, Netflix, CBS, HBO, People Magazine, Vogue Italia, GOOP, HGTV, McLaren Automotive, and major music artists including Seal, Alanis Morissette, AJ McLean, Lance Bass, and Shinedown.

Beyond commercial success, Dennys is a published fine art photographer with five hardcover photography books, and a Star Trek Discovery coffee-table book currently in development. In 2017, he was invited to exhibit at the iconic Leica Gallery Los Angeles, where his show still holds the attendance record as of 2024. His iconic image Entwined was also selected for Leica’s 2023 International Photographic Auction in Vienna.

In this conversation, we explore:

• ​The transition from cinematography to photography
• ​What makes a truly honest portrait
• ​The reality of photographing celebrities
• ​Longevity and survival in creative industries
• ​Protecting your artistic voice inside commercial work
• ​Building a career that lasts decades

This episode is a deep dive into celebrity portrait photography, creative longevity, artistic integrity, and the human side of Hollywood image-making.

If you’re a photographer, filmmaker, or creative searching for insight into building meaningful, long-term work, this conversation will resonate.

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I’m joined by photographer, videographer, and YouTuber Brandon Talbot a creator who has been openly sharing his photography journey for years while, in his own words, making “incredibly adequate videos for the internet.”

Before photography, Brandon was a former professional volleyball player, NASM Master Trainer, and jiu-jitsu competitor and he brings that same growth mindset, discipline, and long-term thinking into his creative practice. His enthusiasm for learning and improving is infectious.

Brandon is also open about being one of the millions of people living with depression, and in this conversation we talk honestly and responsibly about creativity, identity, consistency, and what it means to keep building even when things feel heavy.

In this episode, we discuss:

• ​Transitioning from athletics to a creative life
• ​Developing a growth mindset in photography
• ​Falling in love with prints and physical media
• ​Building long-term projects instead of chasing quick wins
• ​Discipline, consistency, and showing up for the work

This is a conversation about patience, persistence, and learning to play the long game, both in art and in life.

In this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, we sit down with Bryanna Bradley, a Tofino-based surf and outdoor photographer whose work captures the raw beauty, energy, and emotion of sport, nature, and human connection both in and out of the water.

Professionally trained as a photojournalist, Bryanna’s creative path has evolved into surf and wedding photography, while keeping documentary storytelling at its core. Her images are shaped by natural light, contrasting color, genuine laughter, and the small, fleeting moments that define real experience. At the heart of her work is a people-first approach rooted in presence, emotion, and authenticity.

Bryanna’s journey is one of resilience and transformation. After experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI), she embarked on a life-changing hike along the Continental Divide Trail, an experience that reshaped her relationship with photography, nature, and purpose. That chapter led her to cold-water surf photography in Tofino, British Columbia, and a renewed commitment to meaningful, honest storytelling.

Her story is powerfully documented in the film Let Me Chase This Dream, and her work continues to inspire others through emotionally rich imagery that explores healing, perseverance, and the connection between humans and the natural world.

This conversation explores creativity after trauma, the healing power of nature, documentary photography beyond journalism, and what it means to keep chasing the work that feels true.

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, we sit down with JuanCarlos Gonzalez, a Puerto Rican photojournalist and visual storyteller based in Plymouth, Vermont.

JuanCarlos’s work is rooted in authenticity, human connection, and a deep sense of place. Working across portraiture, documentary, events, and landscapes, he creates emotionally resonant imagery that bridges cultures, celebrates resilience, and honors the quiet power of everyday life. In 2025, his work received international recognition when he was named one of Leica’s 100 Photographers.

Raised in the coastal town of Maunabo, Puerto Rico, JuanCarlos’s passion for photography began with newspapers and magazines—images that sparked a lifelong curiosity to explore, observe, and document the world. That early inspiration continues to shape his approach today.

His photographs have been featured in Leica Fotografie International (LFI), Vogue Italia, The Boston Globe, National Geographic, and numerous cultural institutions.

In 2023, JuanCarlos launched Vermont Female Farmers, a landmark portrait and documentary project featuring 45 women shaping the future of agriculture in Vermont. The project has toured nationally as a solo exhibition and was published as a companion book now held in the permanent collection of the Library of Congress. Exhibitions have included the Fleming Museum of Art, Billings Farm & Museum, Bennington Museum, the Vermont State House, and the Leica Gallery Boston, with additional solo shows continuing into 2026.

Beyond his personal practice, JuanCarlos served for six years as Director of Arts Programming at IBA Boston, New England’s largest Latinx nonprofit, leading community-driven arts and cultural initiatives.

When not on assignment, JuanCarlos is a marathoner and avid tennis player. He has completed 11 marathons including Paris, Stockholm, Big Sur, and six Boston Marathons as well as a 375-mile cycling journey around Puerto Rico

Upcoming projects:

- Puerto Rico Female Farmers: The Impact due to Global Warming 

- Vermont showing at Bryan Memorial Gallery, Fall 2026

This episode explores storytelling with intention, honoring lived experience, and what it means to photograph people and places with care.

In this follow-up episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, host Tyson Martin sits down once again with Ben Tobin, a Spokane-based photographer known for his honest, grounded approach to documenting everyday life.

Since his first appearance on the podcast, Ben has continued to deepen his long-term photographic work centered around Spokane. Capturing the quiet moments, overlooked spaces, and subtle human connections that define a place beyond the surface. His work is rooted in patience, presence, and a deep respect for community, proving that powerful storytelling doesn’t require distant travel, only attention and commitment.

In this conversation, Ben and Tyson discuss the evolution of Ben’s creative process, the importance of photographing where you live, and how slowing down has shaped both his images and mindset. They explore long-term projects, resisting creative pressure, building trust with your environment, and why documenting your local community can be one of the most meaningful paths in photography.

This episode is for photographers and creatives interested in documentary photography, street photography, long-term personal projects, and finding purpose through honest visual storytelling.

If you believe photography is about more than images, about connection, presence, and community, this conversation will resonate deeply.
