BRETT ROTHMEYER ON PHOTOGRAPHING KEEGAN SWENSON AND THE HTSQD | The Stable Cyclist Podcast

What this episode covers

This week, JP sits down with Brett Rothmeyer, the creative eye behind the photos of Keegan Swenson and the Santa Cruz htSQD. As part of JP’s ongoing “Creators in Cycling” series, Brett shares his long journey into the world of professional photography — from discovering his voice behind the lens to capturing some of cycling’s most defining moments. They dig into what it takes to shoot massive events like Unbound, Gravel Worlds, and Leadville, the intense travel schedule that comes with the territory, and the balance between art, exhaustion, and passion. Brett also recounts his front-row experience at the UCI Marathon MTB World Championships, where Keegan Swenson claimed the top step and Brett was there to document the moment that defined a season. This episode gives an intimate look at the often unseen creative grind that shapes the stories, images, and emotions of the sport we love.
