Manhattan Beach Photographer Launches 'Photowalks' TV Series
Mar 08, 2021 09:10AM ● By Jeanne Fratello
A veteran Manhattan Beach journalist and photographer has launched a new TV series called "Photowalks," which features walks through scenic places from around the world, coupled with strategies for getting that postcard-perfect shot.
Photowalks is directed and shot by Manhattan Beach resident Jefferson Graham, who is perhaps best known as a longtime tech columnist for USA Today and host of the Talking Tech audio and video series.
Graham, who is also a skilled travel and portrait photographer, has plenty of tips for how to improve anything from a casual iPhone selfie to a spectacular sunset shot. (See more on his tips below.)
In each half-hour "Photowalks" episode, he explores a scenic locale and points out the best spots and strategies to take great pictures. Starting from West Coast hot spots such as LAX, Downtown L.A., Catalina, Balboa Island, and the Central California and Oregon coasts; the show continues to exotic and far-flung destinations such as Hawaii's Big Island and Portugal (Porto and Lisbon). While visiting each place, he chats with local experts who share helpful insights about the location.
Graham said that he created Photowalks because traditional travel shows tend to impress viewers with beautiful pictures of places they’ll want to visit, but they never slow down and explain how to get those pictures.
"They give you a travel brochure version of what a town is like, but you rarely hear from the people who live there about their insights," he said. "I wanted to share my love of exploring the outdoors on foot and show what’s possible with a smartphone and a camera that’s within anyone’s budget.”
"Photowalks" originated as a website (The Best Photowalk) and YouTube series, where Graham documents his visits and photo strategies to inspiring locations all around the world.
After joining up with producer Peter Spirer of Rugged Entertainment, he expanded the YouTube travel photography show into half-hour TV episodes (with more anticipated for the future).
All six episodes of "Photowalks" are now streaming for free on Tubi, an ad-supported streaming service.
Thanks Peter! Working with you has been amazing!
