    Ep 93 - Jens Ochlich on Americana, Nostalgia, and Creative Identity

    On this very special episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with photographer Jens Ochlich to celebrate two years of this show, this community, and the incredible journey we’ve built together. Episode 93 marks a huge milestone. What started as a simple idea rooted in the belief that photography heals your soul has grown into something far greater than I ever imagined. Over the past two years, this podcast has become a platform for honest conversations, deep storytelling, and meaningful connections with creatives, entrepreneurs, and individuals from all walks of life who share a common thread of resilience, purpose, and passion. And it feels only right to mark this moment with a conversation that embodies everything this show stands for. Growing up in West Germany and now calling California home for the past sixteen years, Jens brings a perspective shaped by two very different worlds. Coming from Central Europe, where cities and settlements often date back hundreds or even thousands of years, he developed a deep appreciation for history, permanence, and the slow evolution of place. His hometown, now officially over 750 years old, stands in stark contrast to the rapidly expanding and constantly shifting environments of the American West. That contrast has become the foundation of his creative voice. Rather than focusing on iconic skylines or postcard locations, Jens is drawn to the fringes of cities—the in-between spaces where civilization meets open land. He is fascinated by the strict demarcation lines between order and chaos, permanence and impermanence. From forgotten alleyways and sun-baked asphalt to discarded furniture and the flotsam of a consuming society, his images capture a visual archaeology of modern life. These environments, bleached by the relentless Southern California sun, become both subject and metaphor, revealing the quiet tension between progress and decay. A central theme in his work is Americana, often explored through the timeless presence of classic American cars. For Jens, these vehicles are more than objects. They are symbols of a dream, a cultural mythology that shaped his imagination growing up in West Germany through American films and television. His photography reflects both nostalgia and curiosity, documenting the America he once envisioned and the one he now experiences firsthand. In this conversation, we talk about identity, belonging, and how photography becomes a bridge between past and present. We explore how place shapes perspective, how memory influences creativity, and why the spaces we overlook often hold the deepest stories. Thank you to every single person who has listened, supported, shared, and believed in this journey over the past two years. This community means more to me than words can express, and this is only the beginning. If you’ve ever felt drawn to the quiet moments, the overlooked corners, and the deeper meaning behind why we create, this episode is for you.

  2. Ep 92 - Street Photography, Self-Publishing, and Creative Growth with Nick Spector

    Ep 92 - Street Photography, Self-Publishing, and Creative Growth with Nick Spector

    Nick Spector is a Toronto-based street photographer whose work spans fashion, portraiture, documentary, corporate, and wedding photography, but it’s on the street where his most personal work lives. After more than a decade working as a semi-professional photographer, Nick’s street photography practice has become a space for self-exploration, challenge, and creative growth. It’s a slower, more intentional way of working and one rooted in observation, patience, and learning how to see more clearly over time. Nick’s street photography has been exhibited in group shows in Toronto and internationally, including a recent exhibition as part of the inaugural Montreal Street Photography Festival. His work has also been published in Find Rangers Magazine and Low Quality Film Society’s Black & White and Street issues. In 2025, Nick self-published his first zine, Only Child, marking a meaningful step in taking ownership of his creative voice. In February 2026, he’ll release a new self-published project, Sketchbook: Japan, created from images made during a two-week trip to Japan in October 2025. This was Nick’s fifth visit to Japan, and Sketchbook: Japan reflects on the power of returning to the same place with new perspective. Rather than documenting a destination, the project explores process and how familiarity can uncover new challenges, deepen intention, and lead to lasting creative growth. In this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Nick Spector to talk about street photography as a personal practice, self-publishing zines, revisiting meaningful places, and why staying committed to the process often matters more than chasing outcomes.

    Ep 91 - The Quiet Work of Paying Attention - Matt Day On Film Photography & Creative Life

    On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Matt Day, a photographer and YouTuber whose black-and-white documentary work has inspired a global community of creators. Matt and I connected instantly through shared loves, skateboarding, creativity, and the realities of loss and over the course of our 90-minute conversation, that connection turned into a genuine friendship. This wasn’t a surface-level discussion. It was an honest, thoughtful exchange about life, work, and the long road of creative practice. For more than two decades, Matt has built a life around storytelling through his lens. Based in Chillicothe, Ohio, his work focuses on documenting everyday life with intention—quiet moments, familiar places, and the people closest to him. His photography isn’t about trends or algorithms. It’s about paying attention. Matt began his career photographing weddings, events, and corporate work before intentionally shifting toward a more personal and fulfilling creative path. Today, his focus is almost entirely on documentary and portrait projects, while sharing that journey with his audience through his YouTube channel, now a trusted space for honest conversations about film photography, storytelling, and creative growth. His collaborations with brands like Leica Camera, Hasselblad, Fujifilm, and Polaroid reflect a craft-first philosophy rooted in process, patience, and purpose. Chillicothe isn’t just where Matt lives, it’s inseparable from his work. The town, the people, and the rhythms of daily life are woven deeply into his images. He has published several photo books, including Friend of Mine and Surveyor, both exploring memory, time, and human connection through his signature black-and-white imagery. Beyond photography, Matt is a husband, father, skateboarder, former sandblaster, and current woodworker, proof that creativity doesn’t live in isolation. It lives inside real life. This conversation isn’t just about photography. It’s about slowing down, honoring the ordinary, and building a creative life rooted in meaning. Matt’s approach is a reminder that some of the most powerful stories are found by staying close to home and paying attention to what’s already there.

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

    Ep 86 - Chasing the Dream: Cold-Water Surf Photography, Resilience, and Creativity with Bryanna Bradley

    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.
