009 Bry Cox, Commercial & Portrait Photographer – BlackRapid Podcast

Bry Cox on Celebrity Headshots, Building a 26-Year Career & Teaching Photographers

In this episode of the BLACKRAPID Podcast, Ron sits down with Bry Cox, a Utah-based professional photographer known for clean, polished celebrity, politician, and news-team headshots.

Bry shares how he built a long career that started in a photo lab, moved into portraits and weddings, and eventually expanded into teaching workshops around the world. He talks about the realities of working fast with high-profile clients, developing your own style, knowing your strengths (and when to hire help), and the “hierarchy of threes” he uses in his workshops.

The conversation also covers practical business advice for photographers just starting out, the shift in the industry during COVID, and how the profession continues to change with social media, trade shows, and client expectations.

A solid episode for anyone who shoots portraits or is building a photography business.

Recorded November of 2020, Ron Henry and Bry Cox talk about creativity, style, adding emotion to images, commercial photography, lighting, adapting during Covid – and motorcycles of course.
