Julian Broad - Photographer & Filmmaker

What a joy it was to sit down with the brilliant photographer and filmmaker Julian Broad for this episode of the podcast.Julian has played a huge part in shaping the visual identity of Paul Weller’s solo career, shooting everything from early press photos to iconic album covers including Heliocentric, Sonik Kicks, and Saturns Pattern. We talked about the creative process behind those sleeves, the magic of happy accidents, and what it’s like working with an artist as hands-on and grounded as Paul. No stylists, no entourage – just a clear vision and a real sense of trust.We also discussed the 1999 Observer shoot with Paul and Noel Gallagher, and the stunning image that now graces the cover of my upcoming book, Paul Weller: Dancing Through the Fire, out this September.Find podcast show notes and sign up for regular information at PaulWellerFanPodcast.com Hosted on Acast.
