Paul has released his Zine! Check it out here:
paulharrison.bigcartel.com/pr...
Paul Harrison is a street photographer and tour guide based in London. Having picked up a camera for the first time only three years ago, he instantly fell in love with street photography as a practice and an art form. Finding small moments of wonder in the everyday, with an emphasis on colour, coincidence and juxtaposition, Paul immerses himself in a city that he loves, putting in the miles walking the streets of London and it’s museums and art galleries. He says that street photography is good for the soul but not for your soles.
Check out more of Paul's work here:

A big thank you to Paul for letting me spend the day asking him questions and pointing the camera at him. When I first discovered Pauls work on Instagram after being stunned by his photographs I noticed how he wasn't already "famous", whatever that means. I genuinely think his work is some of the very best in the world of street photography and it has been my pleasure putting this together. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I making it. Keep an eye out the National Gallery Zine later this year!

I can't count the times I audibly went "oh my god" when some of these photos came up. Unbelievable stuff, truly makes everyday scenes look like timeless pieces of art.

The image with the young lady and her long pony tail stood, admiring the painting of the horse is superb imo

@MikeChudley 11 месяцев назад

Yeah that's a great photo.

@jacekoleszczuk472 Год назад

He is genius because he is not spoilt by the techniques, methods and theory. He just picked up the camera and went to the street. Pure and natural. Love it!

Paul needs a Netflix series. I could watch him for hours. Well done Mike!

100%! These are so well done. Totally a Netflix series. I’d binge it.

Knocked it out of the park here boys, really enjoyed that. Paul is very talented, didn't know he was only shooting a couple of years and would've thought he was a veteran with the quality he's producing. Looking forward to the next in this series Mike.

Thanks Dave! Glad you enjoyed this 👌🏻

Thank goodness Paul found street photography because he’s created such creative and compelling images in a short time. Thank you for producing this brilliant video and introducing us to this talented photographer.

@SnapshotHoffy 11 месяцев назад

That was a joy to watch, I have to agree he does need his own series. You could learn more from him in a hour than a tear with your lecturers. He's got soul.

@clsutherland331 Год назад

Oh wow...I watch a LOT of RU-vid about photography and photography related content and this one was just (smh in wonder) inspirational in a way I've not seen before. The ebullience, the practical, genuine take on street photography was refreshing. I've heard some of it before but sometimes you hear it from someone who resonates with you and it all just clicks. (Cliche I know) But thank you for this video. Truly thank you. Paul Harrison is inspirational and 'real'. Time to make street photography my regular routine.

@RandyPollock 6 месяцев назад

@fredhannum4015 Год назад

I love the analogy of never knowing music,and then one day walking into a record store. It has happened to me only a few times; like in 1973 when I saw balloons outside of a Licorice Pizza in North Hollywood, on Victory Blvd. And when I went inside they were celebrating two things; David Bowie's Birthday, and the release of his "Pinups" album. It changed my life and my musical tastes forever ! He became my favorite artist of all time and opened my eyes to many new types of music. Many years later I discovered another life changing artist: Koji Tamaki , and his group at the time; Anzenchitai. A group of Japanese musicians, that again changed my musical tastes and my life. I found a sound that I had not known, and not only that, they at the time of my musical "discovery" already had 4 or 5 albums out. It felt like I had unearthed a big treasure chest full of all the things I really needed in my life.

Brilliant video about Paul Harrison. He seems so natural in front of the camera, as well as his work from behind his own camera

@MisterG48 Год назад

Just watched this again tonight after spending a great four hours shooting with Paul in Rochester a couple of weeks ago - top guy and i love his style and look forward to the gallery zine when its ready

@Racsophoto Год назад

This video made my day. This is so inspirational! The force to exercise the motivation that sometimes lacks. I love the way you share your success but also the struggles and fears found along the way and how you overcome them. And you share it in such a humble way. Thank you so much for inspiring us.

I absolutely love this, as a youth worker (previously) I used to make up these kind of stories about people too, and thinking of the street as a place of theatre was a key concept too, so, im feeling inspired and energised to take my camera out 'onto the streets' - thank you so much for this!

I relate with his story so much. Discovered street photography in late 2019, in my late 30's. Bought a Fujifilm camera that Christmas. Covid a few months later, but I've been shooting constantly since then. Thanks for sharing this! Really enjoyed it.

@TheLiamGordon Год назад

Great video! The fact that Paul took so many good photographs in such a short time speaks volumes about where he may be in 10-20 years. Matt Stuart said it took him about 2 years before he took his first good photograph.

@jasongold6751 Год назад

Super images! I was a pro, but age, heart, now retired. Out as often as I can! A smal camera, the phone is becoming number one! All one does is look and frame. Paul, good hunting, your colors simply perfect! Framing is Everything! Bravo. Look forward to more, zine etc. All the Best.

@NJM1948 Год назад

Wow....this is one of the best "street photography" videos I have ever watched. Great guy, wonderfully talented and able to spot that extraordinary scene, works hard and long to get his unique shots........this is great street photography and a huge step up from some of the more mundane work that you see on youtube. I also really appreciated the way you took the back seat and gave the entire video to Paul. You managed to bring out some great stuff with your interview and never once did it encroach on the main subject.....very well done

@sevsuk2011 Год назад

Mike, this is an excellent episode, Paul was very kind and open about sharing his journey and viewpoint, many many take aways. Excellent stuff. That bookcase at the end. Wonderful.

"Why would you not be out all the time?" I completely agree with that statement for shooting street. You're watching and documenting the flow of life, what's not to like? ;) Also, wind or rain, I just love being outside in the elements.

What a great insight/video - I've not really thought of going into galleries - weird how people replicate whats in the paintings - well captured Paul

@avs4365 Год назад

Good to see the galleries are still allowing photography with a camera rather than jumping on you and demanding to know what you are doing. Did similar in the 60's & 70's and was followed by staff occasionally - most were OK once they knew you were an amateur but were completely opposed to flash - which can damage I am told. Film then didn't have the ability of high ASA/ISO in those days so results were truly grainy - great to see such enthusiasm mixed with great skill.

@The_paulharrison Год назад

In the case of the National Gallery, they changed their rules in 2014. It wasn't so much that they specifically wanted to allow photography but more that an inevitable side effect of them introducing free wi-fi was going to be more smartphone usage in the gallery, and how that would make it a losing battle to keep a lid on people taking photos with their phones.

@avs4365 Год назад

@@The_paulharrison Right. Thanks for that. Have found that some security ignore phones but query cameras on their premises. Thanks again for the reply.
