Episode Description:
In this episode of The Shutter Saga Podcast, Marvin sits down with California-based photographer and entrepreneur Brady Puryear, the creative force behind both his namesake photography brand and Blacksmith Print Co—a premium print lab known for its exceptional quality and photographer-first approach. Brady opens up about his evolution as an artist and businessman, and how he bridges the gap between digital creativity and timeless printed legacy.
From the sunny coastlines of California to mailboxes across the country, Brady’s work is rooted in excellence, connection, and craft. He shares how running a print company gave him deeper insight into the needs of modern photographers, why printing matters more than ever, and what it takes to run a soulful business that scales.
