The Beard & The Boat is hosted by Justin Grafton and Jay Boatwright, professional photographers on opposite coasts of the United States.
After meeting at a photography conference in Las Vegas, the friendly competition bromance began.
Now Jay and Justin teach, travel, and stay on top of their game while offering insights on similarities and differences in their image-making, business models, workflows, equipment, experiences, the state of photography, and volume shoot challenges.
Occasionally managing to convince additional guests to the show, Justin and Jay have a natural rapport that is entertaining and infectious, as well as educational. Frequently facing challenging photography shoots due to weather, timing, equipment or staffing issues, these two use common sense, ingenuity, and the art of community to collaborate on ways to make photography (and life) better.
