Food Adventures Podcast episode with the One & Only Joanie Simon from Bite Shot

On an upcoming Food Adventures Podcast episode I had the privilege and honor to interview one of my food photography idols, Joanie Simon from the Bite Shot.

Joanie is an incredible commercial and editorial food photographer who has created drool worthy shots for many. She is an educator at heart with a very popular YouTube Channel called, The Bite Shot. With over a quarter million subscribers, she is teaching us all through her experiences in the industry. For years photographers and others in the industry guarded their talents and never allowed people to see how it’s done. Times have changed and Joanie is one of those who have helped make those changes in the industry and gives us all the best behind the scenes look at her work and shoots. Her tutorials on The Bite Shot are not only helpful but they are insightful and very approachable and make doing what we do for a living obtainable.
