Hope you enjoy this photo challenge! What should I do next? Please don't say 24 hours of photography! To see my favorite photos from the shoot: joshkatz.me/12hoursubway
You could do a similar thing at the Airport but that might be quite similar. I think 12 in all the popular parks in Manhattan, Washington Square, Central Park etc. in summer would be very interesting. Going to the Zoo and photographing people there would be cool
You made NYC look better than it is. Some dude on the Q train took a screenshot with his noise on making it seem as if he took a pic and got into a full fight with some women.
Hahahaha that's amazing. If you go in with the right attitude, the experience is positive 80% of the time. But i also have stories meeting some crazier folks.
I love the New York subway! I'm here on vacation from Paris, and I feel like the NYC one is so much cleaner and doesn't smell so badly like piss etc. People seem very nice and polite, I even got to ride for free, as I didn't have any cash. 😂
This was educational. As a native NYer I'd be highly annoyed at a pesky stranger taking random pics of me on the subway. But I guess in some cases it could be an innocent photog just trying to get some good shots. But that stunt with the cheese was way annoying, glad it didn't work! No one wants rats on the PLATFORM!!!
RATS are nocturnal and they like to roam on the track level. If you put the cheese on the track level, I guarantee that a rat would snag it. NICE VIDEO! Keep them coming.
The situation varies with every subject and how aggressive they are with their anger, but I try to talk to as many of them as I can to explain what I'm doing, offer to share the image, and possibly talk them down if need be. Making a video on this soon. Stay tuned!
Josh Katz do you every delete the images you took of people at their request? especially with children I know street photographers that are more careful of their privacy.
@DJOSOPOLAR It's not as simple as that. Public places can record and photograph people because they're using it for safety purposes. But photographers going around and shooting people without their permission to use it for public display or self business promotion, that's where the law comes into play. There's photography and video release forms that must be signed that gives a photographer the right to freely use an image at the sole consent of the individual. Based on this video, if a person wanted to sue RUclips and the OP for taking their image and using it to put online without their permission, they can easily do that. Now if the person signed a release form and OP can present that, then OP have the law on his side. Photographers do not get to freely shoot random people in public. That's why some images shot of people in public have their faces hidden, the back of their heads, blurred faces, or just their body parts.
DJOSOPOLAR interesting. i think street candids are some of the coolest photos but i also don't know how id justify that morally personally, like if you're capturing someone as art but then also dont treat them with respect of deleting it , especially if they have reasons yk?
@@ryanb6093 It's completely legal for a photographer to take a photo of someone in a public space without permission. In public you legally have no expectation of privacy, at least in America. You are correct that for advertising or commercial display there needs to be permission or a release, no arguing that. But publishing a street photo in a photobook or making a print to hang on someone's wall isn't the same as publishing an ad in a magazine or a billboard on the side of the road. Under the first amendment you can publish and sell street photography (including street portraits) without permission of the subject, as it is considered free speech. The case I linked below is an example of this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nussenzweig_v._DiCorcia
People don’t give a fuck about what you do in NYC. You could be dying and everyone would walk past you saying “smh new york is weird”. You should’ve taken all the shots in the world! Maybe next time.
Realize that you are, likely, never going to see any of these people again, and shoot with that mindset. It can be extremely difficult, even for people who do it all the time. Also, if you are on a mirrorless, or similar camera with this option, shooting with a silent shutter can help, as people don't know when they are being photographed, and you can be more discrete.
As a beginner, I suggest always asking first and shoot in the daylight. Certain things like crowds, moving shots, and shooting at a distance, there is really no need to ask. If you can take some rejection and possibly some light yelling your confidence will build. Also, not a bad idea to go out with a friend either.
@@redwarrior2342 I second going out with a friend. There are tons of street photography meet ups in New York. Find one and your confidence will skyrocket as you're with other people that are out doing the same thing you are trying to achieve.
Hey Josh, I watched your video from 2017 on panning the day before you moved to NYC. I then watched this video. Man, you've come a long way in a short time as a presenter and a video personality. Keep up the good work, young man!
Unable to sleep I found your video. I love photography. I do it as a hobby but never have time to "actually do it". I loved the final product of each of your pictures. So candid and amazing. I will love to learn more and I think I will with your video! I also Live in NYC and you were actually around where I work. Great shots Josh!!!
I'm an instant fan...you're a great photographer, and a very good blogger too! I especially like the way you would previsualize certain compositions and then wait for the right action to complete the frame...very impressive. I think you created a LOT of great photographs. I'm subscribed now...
Kudos! Not an easy task, all that time in the NYC subway. ... Great results! ... Keep at it, you have a great attitude and great passion (and your videographer did a fine job too!).
Amazing experiment! NYC subway for 12 hours, Great work man! Really love that shot with the turnstiles jumper and the kid at the window. thank you for sharing the whole experience 👍 👍
Damn this was good. You are becoming into a seriously talented photographer. I only dabble in it but your videos always inspire me to just go out, have a good attitude, and not give a shit what people think. Great filming, editing, and music too!
I appreciate the amount of effort and thought that went into this video. You’ve really distinguished yourself from many other videos on similar topics.
Great shots! I subbed back when you were doing skate videos but I think I like this content even more. New York city is such a magical place, I wish I could live there one day.
“This is a common station for hoppers so I’m not gonna say where we’re at right now” ......then proceeds to show signs that indicate where the station is 😂
It’s a 25 minute train ride into Penn Station Manhattan from where I live in NJ. I love that there’s just as much interesting action to shoot below ground as there is above. 👍NYC 🍎
Thanks for posting this on reddit , your videos are a joy to watch. I love how you seem to comfortable photograping in public i personaly get pretty bad social anxiety from it i become very self concious but im working on it and hopefully it will become better over time
I love your style. Even though, sometimes your photo isn't technically perfect, it evokes emotion and tells a story which is the point. Keep it up. Also, I started off my photography carrier watching your tutorials which are super helpful thank you for them. :)
Awesome video Josh, you've captured some really interesting moments! Loved the hyperlapse at the 191st street tunnel...I've recently shot some video there too...the place is amazing! Keep doing what you do! Take care!!!
Nice work..I am outside shooting most of the time,and was on the 5 train line uptown shooting..They are rebuilding Gunhill rd station,uptown side......
I’m from Melbourne, Australia and I’m going to New York by myself at the end of the year to shoot film and paint graffiti and this video has inspired me so much!!!!

Ohhh airport photography's a fascinating idea! I'm leaving in a few days to spend 3 weeks in Spain. MIIIIGHT get to the airport a little early...
More National Parks, or various state parks if not national.
Hitting multiple parks or beaches. Or maybe a series of news stands/shops could be cool.
I'd love to do this with you next time. I live in the Bronx, been in the States for 2 years now and I haven't seen new york as much as I want to
4:52 awesome capture man, smiling like he was a star!
That photo put a smile on my face too
Sam also had some great composition. My favorite photo is definitely the kid in the window
Sam did an incredible job. And same!
You made NYC look better than it is. Some dude on the Q train took a screenshot with his noise on making it seem as if he took a pic and got into a full fight with some women.

Easy fix: screenshot sound needs to be different from photo sound. I get "in trouble" with my photo-hating fiance from this all the time.
@@saralindholm2094 uhhh it does smell like piss in many stations. just a correction
@@MisterJunichi Maybe my nose has gotten used to it in Paris 😂 I just personally feel like it's a lot cleaner here in NYC.
I guess we can all say that one of the best pictures, was of the kid smiling while looking out the window of the train💯
This was educational. As a native NYer I'd be highly annoyed at a pesky stranger taking random pics of me on the subway. But I guess in some cases it could be an innocent photog just trying to get some good shots.

I'd still be annoyed if some creep wanted to take a photo of me without permission.
RATS are nocturnal and they like to roam on the track level. If you put the cheese on the track level, I guarantee that a rat would snag it. NICE VIDEO! Keep them coming.
Right I was surprised people weren’t getting mad
The shots at 12:00 and 12:47 are my favorites. Hyper lapse was also super cool. Loved this concept, well done!
The kid on the subway is definitely my favorite, too!
Sometimes It’s a bit poverty-porn ish though, the guy jumping the turnstiles you should’ve blurred out, you’re essentially telling on him.
come to the bronx and east brooklyn Its a little more nasty but youll get some raw pictures of another side of city
Gm 4L yeah that’s not a good idea
;-;
Yeah no Chief anywhere in the Bronx ain’t it. It’s the worst fuckinf borough
Hell no stay the fuck away from the bronx. Specially west and south bronx 😂
Hes scaredddd
4:52 my fave
Dam josh, this was awesome. Opening the eyes of the world 🙌🏼
Much love, John!
pretty killer josh. that photo of that little boy smiling out the window is my fav
What do you do when someone is not pleased with you taking a photo of them? Do you ignore them, apologize and/or try talk to them?
The situation varies with every subject and how aggressive they are with their anger, but I try to talk to as many of them as I can to explain what I'm doing, offer to share the image, and possibly talk them down if need be. Making a video on this soon. Stay tuned!

I visited NY for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I tried a few shots but was too nervous lol
Literally %98 of the people don't give a shit honestly. Just take it
People don’t give a fuck about what you do in NYC. You could be dying and everyone would walk past you saying “smh new york is weird”. You should’ve taken all the shots in the world! Maybe next time.
Some people don’t care and others will want to fight you lmao, depends on the person
Honestly do what ever you want in New York just don’t get in peoples way
Kudos to the person recording for 12 hours too
The subway conductors really made me smile when they smiled at you! Great captures!
Yore an artist. The mixture of powerful still shots with video are terrific. You’ve got a bright future with many big adventures ahead!
My favorite video YET. So creative filled with tons of different styles
How do you build confidence to photograph other people? I live in NYC and find it nerve wracking... even if they don't notice me haha

I found this on my recommendations and I’m not upset at all that a clicked this video, I love all your pictures!!
Wow..this is such a fun and tough experiment you did. Good job man!! You got some crazy shots here.
Hey Josh, I watched your video from 2017 on panning the day before you moved to NYC. I then watched this video. Man, you've come a long way in a short time as a presenter and a video personality. Keep up the good work, young man!
Good job dude, NYC subways ain’t nothing to play with. I salute you.. great work!
Lovely content and your photos and attitude towards work are really great! Keep up the good stuff.
Dang bro, I used to follow your skateboarding back in the day, crazy to see you pop up in my recommended videos with photo content, love it
i Love the way you use the elements of the subway to create a frame within a frame, great composition :^)
Great photos, and great job Sam, I loved the edit! Definitely would watch something like this again!
That's literally how I would love to spend my day haha
Unable to sleep I found your video. I love photography. I do it as a hobby but never have time to "actually do it". I loved the final product of each of your pictures. So candid and amazing.

Thanks a bunch! You might fine my photo masterclass a helpful starting point for learning to shoot. Link in the video description!
let the homesickness take over.... wow this video warms my heart
I love that bit with the Floppy Circus music ☺️
I'm an instant fan...you're a great photographer, and a very good blogger too! I especially like the way you would previsualize certain compositions and then wait for the right action to complete the frame...very impressive. I think you created a LOT of great photographs. I'm subscribed now...
Man what a video! I absolutely love ❤️ your work. I hope you produce more like this. I'm so glad RUclips recommend me your video.
Really love this vibe!!!
Great shoot Josh. Really awesome to watch you work. Thank you for the post.

Another great video Having fun on the street
Damn this was good. You are becoming into a seriously talented photographer. I only dabble in it but your videos always inspire me to just go out, have a good attitude, and not give a shit what people think. Great filming, editing, and music too!
Much love, man!
I appreciate the amount of effort and thought that went into this video. You’ve really distinguished yourself from many other videos on similar topics.
Keep making videos like this. They’re great and really motivating
Loved this video! Brings back home vibes ❤️ I've been away from NYC 3 years now. It feels so good to see familiar places 😭
Amazing shots. I’ve been thinking to go POV photo walk but time never permitted me. Hope one day I will make it. Keep shooting.
Great shots! I subbed back when you were doing skate videos but I think I like this content even more. New York city is such a magical place, I wish I could live there one day.
Glad you appreciate the change! Make it happen!
Love the edit and great camera work wow love
That hyper laps thhoooo 😱😍👏🏻
Great video!!!
You should do more projects like that!!
✌🏻🇧🇷
Looks like a ton of fun
“This is a common station for hoppers so I’m not gonna say where we’re at right now”
......then proceeds to show signs that indicate where the station is 😂
Right. It's the 3rd Ave/14th Street station. And why would he be shy about sharing the location in the first place? Strange.
Josh like a boss. Best video
It’s a 25 minute train ride into Penn Station Manhattan from where I live in NJ.
I love that there’s just as much interesting action to shoot below ground as there is above. 👍NYC 🍎
This is beautiful man...life at its finest
Awesome video. Thx for posting.
love what you do bro!!
Great job man.. i love it .. i hope next time you put the setting you do for each photo

You’re amazing!!

Awesome video Josh, you've captured some really interesting moments! Loved the hyperlapse at the 191st street tunnel...I've recently shot some video there too...the place is amazing! Keep doing what you do! Take care!!!
You should make a book! I would totally buy it. Beautiful pictures!
Nice work..I am outside shooting most of the time,and was on the 5 train line uptown shooting..They are rebuilding Gunhill rd station,uptown side......
