You, Paulie! I've been trying to approach video of film photography in a variety of ways, and how you do it has been educational and a great legacy for the 2020s.
1 - Being an amateur, I still have so much content to go through that everything inspires me! 2 - RUclips, because I like photos but also the thoughts before they happen 3 - Roman Fox, James Popsys, Willem Verbeek*, Paulie B, Joel Meyerowitz*... 4 - Looking at some of my older photos that I *actually* like and figuring out why I like them. 5 - Being outside, trying to not overthink and just shoot what I am naturally attracted to Btw, I really hope I will run into you in NY. On Friday I will go for the first time. I am solo traveling and I just want to take photos and eat!
Totally agree with the wedding inspiration. I have shot two weddings now and only because they liked my style and asked me to do it. I am not a wedding photographer or a professional photographer in general, but shooting those weddings were so satisfying. People really cherish those documentary styled/filled with emotion photos over the staged ones.
Other photographers are so inspiring. Going out and shooting with people I’ve met through photography is so motivational especially when we all shoot the same scene and all end up with wildly different perspectives. That need to shoot is always there as well.
Watching you balance family, work and your dedication to street is definitely an inspiration. The vid in Chicago eps really got me as well as I shot my first trip there recently entirely on film.
Wedding Photography , Go To A Family, Friend, Neighbor Or Co Workers Wedding, Stand At A Distance From The Actual Photographer, Take Notes On What They See And What They Are Shooting. That's What I'm Working On ..
07:21 Oh man... Street Photography is NOT illegal in Germany! You are allowed to take pictures in public even with people in your photos. People in Germany have the rights to their own image so they can force you to delete an image of them. But we also have rights protecting photographers who do "art projects" and then you can even do exhibitions, sell zines and so on. Just don't use street photographs for commercial purposes and you will be fine. There has never been any legal consequences for street photographers in Germany. Street Photography is alive and well here. Just expect people to get mad at you sometimes but if you are street smart it will be fine :)
@@danosdotnl No. Not that I know of at least. The only time a case went to court, the photographer won the case but had to pay fees for violating an unauthorized commercial use of a street photograp he had used on a poster to promote an exhibition.
people watching is a critical key probably. Spent a lot of times sitting and hanging out at malls, airports, train stops, bus stops just watching people. The way they move, look at each other, interact, watch the world around them, window shop, day dream. Natural repetition, and cycles of relatable interactions, but always original since it only occurs in that very moment
Using my trusty old Ricoh WG-20 while swimming underwater in a large outdoor pool, the late summer light comes in now at an angle and backlights the bubbles created by swimmers and divers, it makes the scene a bit magical. That same late summer light has made the shadows of people longer, so street photos from my second floor view of a busy intersection in Arlington VA are a bit more interesting. That same light also makes the landscapes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah valley a lot more dimensional. Using my slowly growing collection of Lensbaby lenses in a tilt shift mount has really inspired me to try them in more settings, and make me apprecite being out aftter teh lights come out as it gets dark earlier. These videos have also been inspiring.
Recently bought my first film camera and got my first 2 rolls of film developed and scanned. Feeling the anxiety as I waited to receive the scans and then finally seeing the results was an experience. Right now I’m inspired by the magic of the process and the connection I feel to the moment captured.
I started shooting nearly 15 years ago but had taken a 6 year hiatus. My biggest motivator to get back out and shoot was your episode with Laura Fuchs. Thank you both!
Nice to see the props given to Sergio Purtell. FYI he spent a lot of his life working as a printer (still runs that business) and so perhaps never got his due as a photographer until more recently.
What inspires me is other people's work. Recently bought Derek Ridgers The London Youth Portraits. Also, anything by Lee Friedlander has such great ideas for books.
Gotten into the @frame-lines community lately, and that helped me find inspiration outside of the youtube and instagram photography bubble I found myself in!
Another solid vid Paulie , you need to come up here to Toronto ;) Been posting photos on my socials from a recent trip to Japan , so inspiring and a wonderful place to make pictures.
watching youtube videos of street photography techniques, ordering photobooks. my first two were ernst haas ny in color, and vivian maier street photographer.
it is not prohibited but the way she does it it would cause her lots of angry reactions and you need peoples consent to take a picture/ publish the picture (which most people don't like to give)
It is not illegal. The act of street photography (taking pictures without asking first) is protected under the KUG (artist protection act). Publishing is more difficult because technically you need consent from the people you photograph but the KUG and the data protection rights are clashing here and there is no straight black and white answer. All I can say is that there has never been any legal consequences for street photographers publishing their work and even selling it in Germany.
Photobooks are always an inspiration, Mark Steinmetz's Carnival has been an inspiration recently. His timing of moments is great. Other than that, getting out, exploring and just enjoying talking to people I bump into has been inspiring for me. Oh, and finally having some sunshine in the UK!
got a certified pre-owned MP early June. shot with it for a month before it broke. Got sent in, repaired, sent back in 2 weeks, and now its the main driver.
I get inspired putting the camera down sometimes, especially those moments like at the playground with my daughter. Taking a day break really charges up the battery quick…but never make it two days off, because I get stuck staying in I find. Thx for the great videos

Not totally true, there are some laws but there are also ways around the laws. Germans are very strict in following there laws it’s in their culture. But as someone from the Netherlands who goes often to Germany, I’ve never had any problem. Germans will adress you about it, just smile and say you’re a tourist (or I’ll ask for my grandfathers bike back from WW2)

In Berlin, Espen Eichhöfer, photographer at the renowned Ostkreuz photo agency, shot a person walking along the street in a leopard-skin coat. The person depicted saw this as a violation of the copyright regarding her own image and filed a claim against its publication. The court ruled that he was not allowed to display the photo. In addition, that he had to pay the legal costs.
@@N.Editxyz Yes, but only because he used the photograph commercially. Meaning he used it to advertise his exhibition with that photo on a poster. That is commercial use and requires permission. The court also acknowledged street photography as an art form that can't be done with consent because it is candid in its nature (not the exact quote but that's what was mentioned by the court). That's why this case is known amongst street photographers in Germany because it is the first time a court acknowledged street photography and only punished the commercial use of a street photograph. Important missing detail.
Been mainly shooting street but looking at a lot sports photographers and the way they compose has been really refreshing. Picked up a Walter Iooss book recently and his stuff has been blowing my mind.
Great episode as always Paul. Dig that older woman who goes out to nyc every year, but at the same time; saying street photography is illegal in Germany is just plain nonsense.
Great video! Thanks! Anytime I'm out in public without a camera I still keep a sharp eye watching everyone looking for what could have been a good photo shot. I think of it as target practice.
I’m in no way any kind of established photographer but what inspires is the future. I love looking back on all old film photos and almost feeling how I felt when I took the photos a decade ago.
What's been inspiring me?... Rick Rubin's The Creative Act, I've really attached to the ideology of my being a receiver/transmitter of the cosmos' will. My general health & well being... This channel & a few other photography channels for sure (your #1 tho!) Life itself, communicating with others on the street, the sun wind and rain in my face and my hurting feet lol. Keep up the stellar videos!
Constantly inspired by Mike Leonard in Japan, the guys composition in the street is incredible :) Also the way Robbie Lawrence edits his photos. Also this video- cheers Paulie!
Recently, it’s been quite a drought for me. I am still going out regularly but primarily one the basis of “committing to the process and not the outcome”. Results are boring me to tears. It feels like I am trying to squeeze water out of rocks.
drop something that's been inspiring you recently:
You, Paulie! I've been trying to approach video of film photography in a variety of ways, and how you do it has been educational and a great legacy for the 2020s.
Fear.

Oh and family albums or family photography haha if you can call it that. People just have their guard down and it's very immersive
Denis Villeneuve movies and old Motorsport photobooks
Kazu so real for that instant "Nothing."
for real

Yeaaa big up Elliot ❤ our friends are definitely the biggest inspo
Thanks Paul for including me on this one! A lot of great photographers to take note of in this video

Hell yeah Reuben. Barry Lyndon is a coffee table book movie. Immensely under-appreciated
All in with the Boris Apple love, for me one of the best episodes and photographers. He has the soul on his photos!

Kazu’s answer made me chuckle, he’s the realest 🙌
Great session, this is a question that many people don't think about often enough.
Nice to see the props given to Sergio Purtell. FYI he spent a lot of his life working as a printer (still runs that business) and so perhaps never got his due as a photographer until more recently.
The Helen Levitt photo book has been a huge inspiration for me. I was curious after hearing Jeremy Paige talked about her so I bought her book.

This video is inspiring!👏
Just chatting to like-minded folk's while im out. Its good too hear about others' successes, what they are working on, etc.
Another solid vid Paulie , you need to come up here to Toronto ;) Been posting photos on my socials from a recent trip to Japan , so inspiring and a wonderful place to make pictures.
Love your videos man.
ANDREW SNAPPED!!!
I really like Nazir's answer
Great episode!

Paulie, such a dope vid!!
7:37 OMG! These photographers are just two days after my birthday!
i love yours videos
Last book bought: Vanitas by Cristobal Hara..amazing
Photo books, walkie talkies, getting off IG and making my own website.
Nick Carver!!
You inspire me kuya
Always follow Phil penman, Jules allen and the late roland freeman
Reading up on Jeff Wall, who has a very unique style of work
Bukowski, Dirty Harry (the photographer), Flickr, Nikon FM, The Sun
👍👍
I got chills when I heard street photography isn't allowed in Germany. 7:20

@@SamuelStreetlife Good to know I can still go to Germany & do street photography. Pfiati!
Just thought of another inspiration, Skinningrove by Chris Killip. It’s a masterpiece.
Photobooks are always an inspiration, Mark Steinmetz's Carnival has been an inspiration recently. His timing of moments is great. Other than that, getting out, exploring and just enjoying talking to people I bump into has been inspiring for me. Oh, and finally having some sunshine in the UK!
Yo you should get someone to do a walkie talkie on you! Turn the lens
(That would inspire me)
Come to Minneapolis. I’m archiving a local legends film right now, Ramon Muxter. check it out!
What happened to Gelatin Labs?
sometimes when doors close, it opens up the opportunity to find something better in life.
Cooking, reading, walking (without podcasts/music). Time to think without distractions is so important.
Yes! Great one
@paulieb new m6? first time i've seen a video without the panda
got a certified pre-owned MP early June. shot with it for a month before it broke. Got sent in, repaired, sent back in 2 weeks, and now its the main driver.
That last unexpected great shot always inspires to go get the next one
I get inspired putting the camera down sometimes, especially those moments like at the playground with my daughter. Taking a day break really charges up the battery quick…but never make it two days off, because I get stuck staying in I find. Thx for the great videos

going to new places in the city is very inspiring. trying to stay away from 34th and 8th and WSP as much as possible 😅
Your videos and the photographers you cover have definitely inspired me. I see in pictures a lot now and really love catching the moments.
Traveling, the community and definitely this channel 🫡👏👏👏!!!
I think I sense a walkie talkie with andrwsnapd in the near future LETS GOOOO

The JFK photo project is simple but inspiring.
