The Trevor Wisecup Interview - Street Confrontations, Photography Ethics, Evolving as a Photographer 

Good, hey

The Paulie B video was my first time seeing Trevor Wisecup; and at first I thought he was a bit standoff-ish...by the end of the video, I wanted to BE a street photographer. He just has such a vision, and passion that it got me excited to go out again.

The success of Trevor's work I think is that his pictures don't look like effort was used to frame the image; and so they don't look cliche; his work looks just as free and liberated as ever. Much respect.

Huge thank you to Mr.Wisecup for letting me interview him! Def go follow his IG and RU-vid channel. Who do you guys wanna see next?

thank god another interview with this swag demon

The Tracy Morgan Bugatti picture goes so crazy hard

This is incredible im from the uk and his work is inspirational hes taught and you just to take the photo your documenting your experience in photography

keep the conversations going, precious work!

Finally he's here on the channel ❤

the jump was the cherry on top of this good interview. 📸✨

My new favorite photography video :)

Loved this! It was GOOD

This was great. Please do more!

This video is so freaking good.

Such a great interview.

I got thrown out of a city council owned indoor market in the UK. I used the ‘documentary photographer’ line and the security guy assumed I was making a TV documentary and freaked out more 😂😂

These are freaking great. The photography scene is completely new to me and this interview feels so real. Looks like you're getting more comfortable in your role as the interviewer. Keep it going because this is important work especially for future shooters.

Trevor u are amazing man!

This is dope. I totally get where Trevor is coming from with the immediacy of photography versus drawing. I use to draw so well but choose to play basketball. Fast forward 20 years of a fledgling music career and I go into photography as a hobby and business.

Great interview man! 👏

Amazing interview

Solid interview, good.

with honesty and love, his personality is greater than his work...

Great interview! After watching this, I bought a Chinon for $65 from So Cal Cameras.

Pause the video at 31:51 you can see all the things he's been through and how he learned to channel that energy. Really great interview

Jvpes I love ur channel bro but u gotta work on ur interview skills

Cool video and the end part 😜

Thanks King and Thanks Trevor That was very “good “ I love your work King and I love Trevor’s approach I’m looking forward to following him on IG 😊👏👏

Great video

I think we need even more street photographers in New York City.

'A lot' is two words 😄Like, pizza with the lot, except you are referring to 'a' lot. Also, Trevor, love your work. A lot.

DOPE!

40 rolls a week bro! Did I hear that correctly. … love you both.. keep it up 💯💪🏾

can we just take a moment to acknowledge how your story telling through video has also evolved… 😁

Was there an orchestra or something rehearsing, starting at about 38 minutes?

Love me some Trevor Wisecup

more rooftop interviews please

35:00 love these words. Describe my art as well, love it

YEAAAA

He is the real deal

that fog/rain is bad ass looking

Would be dope if you interviewed somebody from the Bay next! Maybe Dante aka @1undred

Remarkable :-) Honesty , from the Heart inspiring young Men

What is the film point and shoot he uses

Paulie B would be dope!

Good.

Ah a DMV native, this tracks!

I think how good a street photographer someone is is directly proportional to their IQ multiplied by time shooting. I also think that most street photographers had abusive childhoods that made them hyper vigilant and a good reader of people and situations. Take the ACE (adverse childhood experience) test and I bet you score at least a five. Let me know if you take the test.

good

Good

Chinon prices are going to skyrocket...

I like this guy so much he’s probably one of the dopest photographers I’ve ever come across

Francis Bacon looked at Picasso's work and decided he would also paint. The rest is literal history.

"a lot" is a large amount "allot" is to parcel out, distribute

I like.

This soundtrack lol

"A lot" is two words.

❤ 44:14

You in nyc my guy?

Chinon kickass!

chinon gang

Should have asked him when he plans on shipping the zines?

a lot is two words

With this type of photography (which I enjoy), I struggle to see the point of using film. Light conditions can be all over the place, you need to catch events quickly, and you ideally want to focus quickly and you want to shoot a lot because there are so many duds. This is really what digital is for. And street photography on 35mm film will hardly bring the unique look that medium and larger formats will.

Just to clear things up, “alot” is indeed not a word. It’s a lot. Two separate words lmao

Could you type his 5 references here please?

Hi high

I'm not super familiar with his work but what an interesting dude. Only 6 years in? We might have a future legend on our hands here.

smoke cigs forever

I appreciate street photography, but shooting pics of someone’s child could very well get you punched in the face. Shooting adults is one thing, but children are a different game. So don’t be surprised if some parent gets angry and takes you down.

Jeff Arnold 💯🔥❤

Wisecup is cooler then McKinnon 😂🔥

I don’t understand the hate.

Paulie B got there first!

Good!

Great video, but the iconic nurse sailor photo was later revealed mohave been staged.😂

Another bang bang RU-vid photographer club interview… I probably can name the next person you’ll interview! How about an insight with actual photographers?

“did you just take my picture?” ‘no, i took MY picture. because its MY camera’ “urban studio photographer “

Trevor sells his brand more as an extroverted photographer than as the photos he generates that are more of the same. He hasn't invented garlic soup. If he used digital cameras, I am sure that his work would have a huge evolution since digital cameras can take documentary photography one step further. It has to focus more on original compositions so that you see the photo and know it is from Trevor. I hope you read this and think, everything is from my humble opinion of more than 40 years as a professional, curator and gallerist.

Think the hype around this guy is slowly dying. I see him more as a personality in the scene, and this is the thing that does the talking, not his photos - (of which his work is a dime a dozen in NYC)

Hello, I think you need improve a lot with your interviewing skills. You sound timide and awkward with your questions which makes the interviewee respond with timide and awkward answers. Your job is to lead a strong conversation. There is zero momentum along these exchanges. At 6 minutes in, I don't know whether to continue with this or not. If you're a professional then be professional... Watch interviews with A-list Hollywood directors and you'll see just how efficient those conversations are... Thank you.

I wonder if Trev has rich parents.

hey trevor, so are you avoiding addressing all the claims people are making against you just to get your name out there even more? you know, like bad publicity is better than not publicity. or did you just fail because of whatever reasons, and think it's better to avoid the issue you created instead of simply addressing because it would mean having to be a real person. either way, i hope all of this is sitting okay with whatever moral compass you have and that you're doing okay. but then again, maybe you're just a product of the environment that you were raised in and you haven't figured out a way to break out of the cycle that affects broken people in a negative way, in a way that makes you think it's okay to not be held accountable for your actions.

Trevor needs to learn about consent.
