Does the world really need another podcast? Not really.

The premise of Full Exposure Podcast is pretty simple. Photographer Brian Kelly invites each guest to come to his production studio in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a portrait session. After the photo shoot is wrapped, they immediately sit down and record a candid, funny, raw, and sometimes emotional conversation about whatever is on their minds.

Brian conducts relaxed conversations that dig around the edges of each guest’s unique journey and explores the failures and successes they’ve experienced along the way. Ultimately, it’s their human spirit, drive and hustle that inspires us all.

Brian has been an award-winning photographer, director and producer for over 20 years. It didn’t seem to matter who he was photographing; a celebrity, an artist or activist, entrepreneur, executive or student…it always seemed like a fascinating conversation would begin with basically anyone Brian had in front of his camera.

But…as soon as the photo shoot ended, so did the great conversation. Creating this podcast is Brian’s way of extending these conversations and sharing them out into the world.
