Great video and great conversation. Found Sam on IG a while back and am always inspired by his photos. Thank you for making this episode. 🙏

It took a while and a few dms but the zine did arrive. He self-published while trying to make his way in the city, putting most of his time and resources into photo, and dealing with whatever else life was throwing at him. I don’t think his motive to publish a zine was nefarious in any. The work was worth the wait. The book is brimming with personality and full of great work. Sure it was annoying to wait but it was just the circumstances I’m assuming he found himself in at the time. I’m glad I waited and gave him the opportunity to get the zine to me. His work is great and that’s what matters.

Great video, I don't quite understand the problems you had with some of the locals, I go to Lisbon 3-4 times a year doing street photography and never had a single issue.

I'm loving these, the production and guests are both great!

Very good and very insightful!

w34th st is always such a shizzleshow 🥴😂 great vid fam, great interview …never heard of dude before, beautiful work🤌🏼✨😎

Never would've organically found this on RUclips, luckily spotted it on Sam's stories as I'm a big fan. RUclips algo needs a lot of work.

Great episode, big fan of Sam's work.

Some beautiful pictures and commentary. I can relate. I'm in Perth WA and feel a bit isolated. Don't know any other photographers to do street with, but my photography is a great release and brings much joy. I'm also a full-time high school teacher and also love my job. I wouldn't want to be a full-time pro, but I do quite a bit of paid work with my photography. The lady in Perth who organises all the big events in the city, throughout the year, I'm her photographer, for all of these big events. I'm also the photographer for Dragon Boats Western Australia. I shoot their regattas and national events. I also do portraits and private gigs. It's a wonderful life, not just the extra money that is nice, but the sense of accomplishment. Also with my press pass, I get to meet lots of really interesting people and get into places where others can't go. Photography is a real ticket to the world.

I was one of the admins who ran the fortnightly challenge for the Street Photography Community on Flickr that Sam mentioned....good days.

Great video. And Sam mentioned Flickr. Hey, lets make Flickr great again!

yessss - very inspiring, love his work! Great episode

he's very enjoyable to watch, he has a good presence and i do enjoy his work! I can't imagine having a family on top of work and still making time to shoot street! for quite a long time i was shooting manual and it's fun to see how others shoot manual as well. i have always been more of a f2 - 5.6 and a higher shutter speed instead of a f8-f16 and lower shutter speed just because i enjoy the depth of field and super sharp subject, i'm ok if some people are out of focus in the frame. Good Series!

So excited to see this pop up in my feed! I’m also a Sydney street photographer, and Sam is arguably my greatest inspiration in my efforts to improve what I see on the streets and try to make more engaging pictures. I appreciate what you do, Matej, and thanks for highlighting an Aussie on your great channel! ✌️

The most relatable conversation about the balance of your actual day job with the photo work. Really refreshing to hear someone talk about a situation so similar to myself

paulie b’s got some friendly competition! love these! keep pumping em out 🔥

Thank you for this video, Matej 👏 It's fabulous to see Sam featured here. It's very interesting to watch people's photography journey. I'm proud to be an Australian when the rest of the world is introduced to someone as talented, kind, and humble as Sam 🇦🇺

Such a great photographer! Extremely strong understanding of composition and light... I might now understand why I like so many australian photographers, the light is very special there. Thanks for filming this!

How unstable are people today.

The guy saying he’s willing to go to jail if you take his picture… so dramatic 🤣. Some people can’t get out of their own way.

3:58 the Samyang magically appears on the shelf behind you! I have this Samyang 35 f/1.8. I bought it because it was so much smaller than the GM f/1.4 and I thought it'd make a better every day lens. Turns out I use it so much more than the GM, I don't have much use for the GM except indoor sports or events. Awesome little lens.

What lens are you using? The square one in the camera?

Quick update: i ordered mine and it took a year to arrive but it did finally show up with an apology from Trevor. Who knows what went wrong but all is well that ends well.

Stop making me want to move to NY

Trevor is an amazing photographer I thinks that’s why we all gravitated to his work. I’m not gonna lie the zine situation was just as annoying and frustrating for me as it was for anybody else that got it. I followed the usual protocol of leaving comments on his posts about where the zine was with no respond or update which in my opinion was the worst part of it all the lack of communication. Eventually I did get my zine and I think everyone who purchased one did as well or is still receiving it. Now that I look back at that time the man was going through a lot not only with his mother but also a living situation and I believe looking for work as well. Once I opened the zine it reminded me why I bought it in the first place! The pictures Trevor takes are one of a kind but in a way also feels like you’re looking back in time to some old school style New York street photography. I think he learned from his mistake on communicating to his audience but so did I learn how to be more patient and also understand that he’s as human as we are and we make mistakes and we go through hard times just like everyone else. I’m happy with my zine and have nothing against him.

I got the zine many months late, its not a big deal. If anything just adds to the vibe and lore behind it. He's a brilliant talented guy. Just relax, you'll get it. Just message him once in awhile about it if you haven't received it, be kind like I was, and it all works out, he'll send it eventually. Literally not a big deal! To suggest he's a fraud is just absolutely ridiculous. The unnecessary aggressiveness and disruptive energy in the comments by several people is the true farce of it all. Lastly, it doesn't matter what any of you think, there's an army of fans behind Trevor and there always will be. He's a great guy.

I’m happy my zine came after a long while, but I’m just more excited to see more work from Trevor in the future. It’s kind of the main reason why I bought the book in the first place, to just support one of the dopest NY photographers out there

I thought we all got Hussled for real & man was just flagrantly scamming for bags with no legal recourse 💰🧠 😂 messaged him, then gave up on ever getting it, forgot I ever bought it, and then 8 months later it arrived at my house in New Zealand with a free limited edition print in the front cover, printed on Fuji Crystal Archive paper (which I didnt pay for, amd was never promised) - needless to say I was stoked 😂 - super happy in the end

love seeing the process. for everyone complaining about zines.. I got mine in july of this year (took 10/11 months to ship) and personally it was more about supporting an artist that I fucked with rather than having a physical product to show for it. regardless, i'm happy trevor finally getting all of them out.

Mine took a few months to arrive but I got it over a year ago now. I feel bad for anyone who hasn’t gotten theirs but this seems like something that might have come about from a lack of experience and resources more than a malicious scam.

I got my zine within a couple of weeks, I know the guy packing them was doing it alone. Trevor didn’t run a shipping operation or anything for this, he sold a good amount and they had to be hand packed and taken to a post office. I guess it was just tough with that many to ship by hand. It’s a sick zine, the print I got with it is cool too. My style has moved towards images with no people in but looking at his zine always makes me want to head out into civilisation and see what mad shit is out there. Why don’t we chill with the internet cancel brigade, if you ordered one I’m sure you can still reach out and you’ll get a response.

Lfg film p&s is the move, can’t wait to see more film from you man 👌

i got my zine, it just took a while. id get in contact with him personally if you still havent received it. people are way too quick call him a scammer

I’ve been following Trevor on Instagram for quite some time and purchased his zine early on. While it did take a while (over 14 months) for my zine to arrive, I believe it was worth the wait. From my perspective, this is not a scam - I didn't even ask for a shipping progress and someday the zine just got delivered. However, I think there are lessons to be learned for Trevor, particularly regarding the challenges of managing logistics, which are never easy.

I had no issues with getting my zine honestly if your still having issues just message him directly than spreading more hate.

Half the people claiming he’s a scammer didn’t even buy a zine 😂 received mine later than expected over a year in fact but everyone shouldn’t be so quick to get their back up! You never know what people have going on behind the scenes 🤷‍♂️

So I got my zine like a year later. The zine is great but the situation is unfortunate for those who still haven’t gotten theirs.

Very fun day w the boyooos

Nice shots, I hope you ate something besides a bad danish and a candy bar during your day in NYC.

This video is excellent

Sucks to hear the negative comments about Trevor being a scammer. I thought I had respect for him. Regardless, these videos are so good.

Very nice, bro 🙌🏼

I saw the touché amoré flex and I was like damn, this dude knows what's up!

Nice! Excited for episode 2. Also, Times sq is my favorite because I love shooting people posing for their own selfies. I could do a book like that probably in a day. Do you shoot so much vertical because of the socials? Or...

Great project, I shoot similar type of projects. Facades, changes in my town. So many different things to shoot. Keep on doing what you are doing

Just had this video suggested to me while I'm starting work on my first project 😂 Can't wait for an update!

Such an interesting project! I think that unconsciously most of us do that! To be fair , the presence of people give an little "umph" to the capture as a whole but it is always the facade that is the one that intrigues us to take the photo. I am always unsure if I have to wait for someone to pass, or just capture the facade and continue my photowalk.

Excellent video.

Projects is an important part of learning photography. I always teach this in my classes. ❤
