Episode 24 :: French American photographer Alain Briot
Peter Urban is in Phoenix Arizona talking to French American photographer and artist Alain Briot. Briot is a very successful entrepreneur, writer and artist who developed a unique approach to photography focusing on it as an artform rather than putting emphasis on the technological tools that make the pictures. This episode tells Briot’s story from his meager beginnings as a struggling artist in Paris to his current state as a successful photographer and businessman in the South-western US. Briot’s humor and wit are engaging making this SmibsTV episode one of our best ones yet. This episode is one of two we filmed while on location in Arizona at Briot’s gallery.

Thanks a lot for this interview and for introducing me to Alain Briot’s work.
I had read his posts on Luminous Landscape in the past without realizing he was also the author of these famous and beautiful landscape photographs.
Since watching this video, I have been listening to Alain’s podcasts -some truly inspiring- and read whatever I could find from him.
His approach to photography, art and business really hits the mark.
