    Jun 17 2026
    What if a single photograph could tell an entire story?For New York-based documentary and portrait photographer Niikai Wells, that's the goal every time he presses the shutter.A military veteran and visual storyteller, Niikai discovered photography while navigating PTSD and searching for a way to reconnect with himself, the people around him, and the world at large. What began as a form of healing quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of documenting authentic human experiences.In this episode of The PHYS Podcast, Niikai shares his journey from picking up a camera as therapy to becoming one of the most respected voices in visual storytelling. We explore how photography can transcend aesthetics, why storytelling is the foundation of great imagery, and what it takes to create photographs that continue to resonate long after they are made.We also discuss the creation of the Visual Storytelling Club, the importance of mentorship, documentary photography, street photography, creative growth, community, and why the images that stand the test of time are often the ones that reveal something true about the human experience.In this episode, we discuss:• Photography as a tool for healing and personal growth• Navigating PTSD through creativity• Documentary and street photography• The art of visual storytelling• Building meaningful photographic narratives• The Visual Storytelling Club and creative community• Learning from mentors and industry veterans• Finding your voice as a photographer• Creating timeless images that transcend generations• The power of human connection through photographyNiikai's work reminds us that photography is more than cameras, lenses, and technical settings.It's about people.It's about connection.It's about telling stories that matter.And sometimes, it's about healing through the process.Visit Niikai:Instagram: @niikaiwellsThreads: @niikaiwellsWeb: www.niikaiwells.comVisit The Show: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@PHYS_Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@PHYS_Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@phys_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Web: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thelifeofphys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Show Partners:Fotophase.orgShop Harlowe And Support The Show:Save on Harlowe HereSupport The Show:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

  • Ep 110 - Shayd Johnson: Adventure Photography, Storytelling, Conservation & Life on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast

    Ep 110 - Shayd Johnson: Adventure Photography, Storytelling, Conservation & Life on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast
    Jun 3 2026

    In this episode of The P.H.Y.S Podcast, I sit down with Shayd Johnson, a commercial and editorial photographer based on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia whose work is built around authentic human connection, environmental storytelling, and a deep appreciation for the natural world.

    Known for capturing candid moments that feel both honest and timeless, Shayd's photography spans lifestyle, portrait, travel, and outdoor adventure. His images combine thoughtful composition with genuine emotion, transforming everyday experiences into compelling visual stories.

    Over the years, Shayd has traveled by air, land, and sea documenting the diverse landscapes and communities that make British Columbia one of the most remarkable places on Earth. From flying above the Monashee Mountains to photographing along the rugged coastline of Ucluelet and participating in sacred First Nations ceremonies on Northern Vancouver Island, his work reflects a profound connection to place, culture, and conservation.

    In this conversation, we explore Shayd's journey into photography, how his love for the outdoors shaped his creative vision, and the lessons he learned during a winter spent living in an isolated cabin. We discuss environmental stewardship, storytelling through photography, building a meaningful creative career, and why authentic connection remains at the heart of great imagery.

    We also dive into travel photography, commercial assignments, documenting British Columbia's wild landscapes, finding inspiration in solitude, and the responsibility photographers have when telling stories about people and places.

    Whether you're a photographer, filmmaker, outdoor enthusiast, or creative looking to deepen your connection with your work, this episode offers valuable insights into living a life driven by curiosity, creativity, and purpose.

    In This Episode We Discuss:

    • Adventure and travel photography
    • Storytelling through authentic imagery
    • British Columbia's landscapes and culture
    • Environmental conservation and stewardship
    • Building a commercial photography career
    • Creativity, solitude, and personal growth
