No unboxing. No gear reviews. You’ve figured out the formula for what us fellow photographers actually want to watch. I think that I can speak for all of us when I say please keep doing what you’re doing. It’s perfect. We love it!
The make money question - like the man said, it's about a sandwich if you're lucky. Hey, people go HIKING or PLAY GOLF or SKI or SAIL, etc and they enjoy all the benefits (mental health, etc) without expecting to make $$. Mostly, photography is the same. (I guess wedding photographers make some $) Thank you, Paulie B, this series is fun and interesting.
That it. It's hard to make my wife understand why I or anyone else 23:20 this form of photography. We all get outside, walk, and meet people. Oh, and sometimes, we capture some amazing moments in our photography.
Loved it Paulie! So inspired by your channel and all the great advice/info you put out. Your lil community is really sweet and supportive. My Ask: As a woman who is getting into street photography, would luv luv luv to see more women street photographers! Thank u!
Great video as always! As a street photographer, I make money from my day job. Also Chris Voss, Camillo and Alex look like they're in a 90's grunge band.
Can you recommend some? I mostly follow new york street photographers, due to paulie‘s videos, but i‘d love to see more work from people in different cities.
I think it's a very grounded answer to put it out there: do street photography not for money, but because you like to do it. When you take out that expectation, you are set free. You are liberated to make images for the sake of feeding your soul
Street photography is the most challenging especially when shooting manual. It has become an addiction to me that I cannot wait until I get off work to just get on the street and take pictures of strangers. Something about documenting life feels nostalgic and almost as if I’m holding a Time Machine in my hands that whenever I want I’m able to preserve a tiny fraction of time in that frame with people. Street photographers are the most respected because it’s extremely hard to get a fundamental photo you have peoples movements, light constantly changing, background, layers, expressions, trying to capture the decisive moment is a fraction of a second. It’s the most rewarding when done right. If you want to make money of course you have to build up your work by truly knowing the fundamentals and having people wanting to pay you for the work you created. Today it’s much easier to publish your own book, RU-vid, social media etc. The legends are respected and loved for creating photography that is extremely difficult.
Hi Paulie my name is Marcelino and thank you so much for the inspiration that you do with your Walkie Talkie. The thing that has helped me is that I do shoot digital but I was going through a hard time health wise and was down in the dumps. Watched your youtube videos and I am now taking my camera out everyday. LIke you mentioned if you don't take your gear out with you than you loose you touch to be creative and now not only am I taking my camera out but I'm having fun with it. Thank you again.
I would definitely recommend Greece and especially urban Greece for street photography. As so much of life takes place out in the streets, it is very reminiscent of 1950's New York/Paris etc.
Thanks for the Q and A! Really enjoyed it. Yup, your day job keeps you enjoying streetphotography. Its nice to have a job that allows you to do street photography in terms of time and resources.
I really enjoy all the content that you put out, it really helps me think about my process and makes me think more about why I make photos, and not to get wrapped up in what camera/lens you are using because it really dose not matter.
Coming from being a musician and specifically using only standalone samplers, It totally is a stylistic choice whatever camera you use. I love my Ricoh GRiiix and it’s super fun to use and inspires me daily.
DOPE!! i started shooting less than a year ago and i like the shooters on your channel. My style is candid, freestyle i guess. Watching so many content creators sell so much product and im just here to get pointers on shooting. after less than of shooting photos, i became overwhelmed. So, i realized i enjoy just shooting my way for the very sake of FREEDOM or Self! (Creativity)
There were plenty of women photographers out shooting the mermaid parade. Would be great to see more of them on your channel. Unfortunately, I had to skip this year but I know at least 10 women who were out there shooting that day.
If you want to be an artist who is free to do your art the way you want to do it, then don’t rely on your art to pay your bills. In other words, have a job that will support your lifestyle; that way no one dictates how you should do your art. Otherwise, those that pay, have a say, and they will tell you how they think you should do your art.
Its a good thing i saw this episode its like everyone is here different point of view means a lot to me to continue street photography keep it up guys especially Paulie
Dope video, so cool that nyc is big enough you can just run into random photographers and chat with them. It would be super cool if there was a discord or Reddit community for people to find other photographers in their city and make friends
I think my biggest problem is that i am such a nervous person in general, that i probably give off that nervous energy sometimes. In return, i start to feel self conscious about that and get even more nervous because i don't want to been seen as such and make others uncomfortable. I am trying to get myself hyped up for the next time i can hit the actual city streets though. I have managed to break through a few times and i know i can keep doing that until confidence overpowers the nerves. On a side note: i chickened out on a really great shot a month ago and i think about it every day. It really does haunt you when you miss a shot lol
Keep going. Conquering this fear will also make you more comfortable in social situations (talking to girls, strangers). There are ancillary benefits to changes you make to yourself.
@@aquilifergroup thanks for the push. It's funny you say that because of how true it is. I've been shooting for a while and I've noticed it has definitely helped me be more social. I just have those full days or moments where I freeze up, and those are such a bummer lol
Always enjoy these man. I don’t watch many photography videos because most feel like a commercial. Yours doesn’t and I appreciate that! Always coming through with the good stuff. PS What bag are you using?
I don’t care for gear talk so I enjoy this, and I have no interest in going back to film. That was my youth and I love digital. But I still love this style of video, walking and talking. Lovely.
Loved this video. A lot of good wisdom. Street photographers are a strange, small group of photographers who reveal fleeting moments in our world and how we humans interact in it.
I'd love to see you come out to the LA and do some walkie talkies out here. It's pretty different from a lot of other cities for street photography and I'd love to see some of the photographers working out here!
I shot film back in the 1990's, and i have no desire to go back to film. Early Canon cameras have a film-like qualities, so i use them frequently when I feel nostalgic.
Wish i knew you guys would be out there, i would have stopped by and did some shooting with you gents, my M6 needs to get out there. Nice one here Paulie.
@PaulieB Yeah, I know what you mean. It's hard to combine both on the same trip. Most of the best street photo locales are often off the beaten track too! Loving your videos and walkie talkies, epic and pretty unique right now. Thank you!
If you ever consider coming to Louisville for a walkie talkie, let me know. I’ll be your worst episode ever. I suck at pictures, I won’t know what to say and I never know what street im on. Haha
From the money standpoint. Yes you can make some money, but that is going to be work. And that means you aint working for yourself, but you are working for your client. You might get lucky with a few good shoots once in a while, but most of the time it will be shoots that your client wants you to take. Its pretty hard to satisfy your own desire of doing things the way you want to do, because the client is the one you need to satisfy. Doing it full time drains mentally. Doing it once in a while, well it might not be bad, it offers a certain different experience. But doing it constantly takes all the fun away.
I only shoot film a few times a year. I think if I took the time to learn to develop the negatives myself I would shoot it a lot more regardless of cost.
I was very Lucky, i Made a couple of nice street pics and since some month I am a paid photographer now :)) but as my side job. I have my main job since 15 years and I shoot since 2014, but very hard since 2 years and it pays off. ♥️ sometimes you just need to post some nice portraits and content beside of street 🔥
