This one really resonated with me. Great video, so much great advice from an exceptional streetphotographer.

@TravisHenson777 11 месяцев назад

My girlfriend and I literally paused the video on this moment and talked for like 20 minutes… when I came back (after my Ted Talk, of course) to restart the video, I noticed your comment. Such a good take.

@usuallyroamingrob3427 Год назад

Something she said that really resonated with me, “I want the photo more then I fear the consequences.” I can totally empathize with this.

I have a phobia for deep water. Dont know how to swim. But once decided to take photos underwater. Used scuba diving tools, got a 20 minutes training and then I was diving into a sink hole 15 meter deep taking stunning pictures without for a single second thinking in anything else. When i got out i realized the thing i just did i almost passed out for the terror. But i did it again like 3 or 4 times in different days. Fear dissapears when passion is on your side.

@HHTV60 Год назад

@@MKWHD well, you need to put in at least 10 years in a profession to be good. and she has been doing it for 10 years. so, she's a professional street photographer, not a RU-vid presenter sitting behind the desk and talking about cameras.

@DenisMark1 Год назад

Adding to the chorus - She is the REAL DEAL. I love that you're showing someone who isn't twenty-something and that you can shoot something other than Leica and film (I know that's an exaggeration, but an AWFUL lot of young street photographers seem to be doing this) - mind you she is sporting a six thousand dollar camera, so it's not like "digicam love." The bottom line is that she is an AMAZING teacher and her work is as good as anything out there. So many fantastic images. She should be on the faculty of some college inspiring young photographers. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.

@DenisMark1 11 месяцев назад

@Adrian-wd4rn mea culpa! Although to some of us here, you're still young in your thirties. 🙂 And to his credit Paulie had showcased other older photographers... although most of those shoot Leicas as well...(not all!) Happy shooting!

@Armitage01101 10 месяцев назад

I have no idea why they're so insistent on shooting street with film and a Leica too. Not only is the camera expensive (and most of them look broke), shooting streets with film is a massive expense given the rate of failure with street photography. To be clear, I've done both digital and film, have expensive analog cameras and develop my own film too. Unlike some other photography genres where the medium is just a matter of stylistic choice, digital is simply better for street photography.

@Armitage01101 10 месяцев назад

@@stratocactus It's not really true that film teaches you more than digital, it's just that digital eggs you to shoot more and reflect on what you're doing less. You could just shoot a Nikon FE in auto mode and come out of the process none the wiser.

As a male photographer I can tell you now, I never take photos of kids. It's not worth the risk. Too many people out there ready to label you as something horrible. I stick to building, reflectives, architecture and nature. I prefer the simple life.

Melissa is spitting facts! Street photography feels exactly like meditation when I’m doing it. It’s the ultimate feeling of being in the moment with the world. There’s a reason why walking meditation is very much a part of a zen/meditation practice. Taking photos is the only thing I’ve experienced that comes close to it.

@mrstandfast2212 Год назад

That is one of the most interesting photography films I've watched in an age. The constantly moving backdrop and sounds of the city was like I was actually there. Melissa is an engaging and communicative subject, and what she had to say was thankfully free of self importance. Likewise, the interviewer was perfect in that they let the subject speak with little prompting from them, a rare attribute these days. Add that to her wonderful images, and the fact that she didn't bore with discussions about her camera or lenses, she just got on with what she likes to do. I shall now go and watch some of the others in this series. Thank you for a most enjoyable film.e
