Great interview. One of my favorite photographers, and he seems like such a nice person. Interesting comments about the former mayor, too. I suspected as much. People don’t change that much.
The second Joel mentioned the scene with Bresson, my jaw dropped. Incredible moment. Joel is such a incredible speaker, I felt immersed throughout his talk. Thank you!
In those days I guess there were not many street photographers where as today it’s fairly common to see street photographers, you only have to see how many RU-vid street channels there are.
What a generous interview! Joel Meyerowitz speaks in poetry as evocative as his images. Great questions too. Can’t wait to visit Fotografiska NYC once this pandemic is done. Thanks for posting this.
I always find interesting that Joel talks with so much admiration about this other legendary photographers like if he wasn't one of them. He is a great story teller
There are many photographers I look up to but Joel is the one I could listen to forever. His way of expressing his thoughts is just so poetic and clear at the same time.
You are such a great interviewer and Joel is such a great subject with a lifetime of wisdom to share. Thank you for making this video. It deserves many more views and likes.
What a great interview, I have always loved Joel`s work and his passion for photography. Wonderful to listen to him talk of the days spent with others capturing life, "the decisive moment". Thank you.
Joel Meyerowitz, is Understandably One of today's, Worlds Greatest Photographers.! I hope there Will be Future Photographers, who will be as good as Joel is.! 📸
As a swede and a photographer it would be a dream come true to visit someday, Joel is an amazin inspiration! Also amusing to hear you guys pronouncing Fotografiska ;)
One of the best interviews and I was lost listening to Joel's stories.. So much educational and inspiring. He is one of my favorites and top in the list for sure. Thank you for uploading this interview....:)
A great interview especially relevant for the moment we are all living in. Thank you for sharing and thank you to Joel Meyerowitz for being so generous with his time.
Very inspiring interview. I loved listening to him recount all the pivotal moments that had such impact on his career & on photography in general. I must admit that around the 19 minute mark he began to resemble fellow NYer Larry David, but Meyerowitz has far more talent & generosity.
Absolutely riveting interview love the stories Joel told love his work. My introduction to photography came as a 12 year old dad came home with his latest hobby a camera and a box full of stuff he took a photo of myself and my sister he vanished under the stairs coming out a while later with a glossy black and white photograph from that was my decisive moment I never wanted not to have a camera on me. Cheers dad xxxx liked and subbed regards Paul
Joel sounds like a predatory, opportunistic pain in the arse when he's talking about his WTC photos. They have no serious archival value, no value to historians. They don't help us come to grips with what happened. He just took people's time, got in the way, alarmed cops and others who didn't want an unprincipled photographer taking photos of someone's mashed-up relative.
