Inside the World of Hip Hop's Top Photographer | HYPEBEAST Diaries: GUNNER STAHL

- Опубликовано: 11 дек 2019
- Atlanta-born Jonathan Simmons, widely known as Gunner Stahl, was working at a Dick’s Sporting Goods three years ago. Now the 27-year-old photographer is a phenom in the industry, widely-recognized for his raw portraits of famous rappers including the late icons Nipsey Hussle, Mac Miller, and Juice Wrld.
Stahl recently compiled an intimate selection of captures for his new book titled Portraits: I have So Much to Tell You. The book features archival images alongside recent, spur-of-the-moment snaps of Lil Yachty, The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Gunna and more. To celebrate the publication, the artist teamed up with Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta to launch a solo exhibition on November 1 featuring large-scale displays of the portraits in his new book.
For our latest episode of HYPEBEAST Diaries, we caught up with Stahl in his Atlanta studio to discover the man behind the viewfinder, his obsession with anime (preferably Gundam Wing), and his thoughts on whether or not print medium is dead.
my guy talks in lowercase
haahahaha
Prod.Aplus 😂
Using his “indoor” voice lol
😂😂
This comment underrated as fuck😭
wait hes 27 lol he look 16
yeah the second he said i got the camera when i was 18 i thought like wow he got famous really fast and then i heard 'im 27 now' like whaaaa
which is still amazing btw i just thought he 19 max
worgrevo dude i thought likewise
I’m tryna age like him
Black don’t crack
man is way too calm and collected, especially around all these crazy celebrities. I guess that's why they like him
He’s used to hanging out with famous people, how do you think he got those photos? 😂
@a a facts if a nigga gotta poop just like me he aint a god
a a and they use music to control the masses because music is a form of “magic” that’s why people idolize them, it’s deeper then them just having a lot of money, they aren’t just like us and you wouldn’t know because you aren’t around them 24/7 these celebrities are put through crazy shit.
imaShooterforBrazzers they don’t know
imaShooterforBrazzers modern day slavery. That’s not to say there a some legit artists out there
Put way too much cologne on, smelling like a headache
I literally saw this in the video and was like “they gon clown his ass in the comments” 🤣🤣🤣
nigga sprayed his whole body like 10 times
that’s his sense of
humour
Havellion nah he just don’t know how to put on cologne
Shamir nah he addressed it on his ig, it’s just a funny bit, you really think the editors are gonna show him spraying cologne for 20 seconds just casually followed up with a joke about cologne delivered by him??? use brain
And not a single question regarding his art was asked. What camera he likes to use, him growing up, how many bottles of cologne he goes through a day.... smh
Only T.I asked the right questions
and that’s why i even clicked
And his answer was weak af
Looks like Portra 400 and mamiya 7
The guy is so reserved he probs didn’t want to answer a lot of questions. I think that’s why he was just showing all the stuff about his childhood rather than talk about it
He’s seems hella chill. Such a cool dude for sure. Really cool that he’s 27 as well. Society would make you think your window is under 20..
How tho? If your trying to actually get good at your craft it will take years like he said he got his camera at 17 18 hes 27 it didnt happen over night Thats with a lot of stuff everyone thinks they can surpass perfecting their craft nah b time makes you a better artist
nassim zway i agree
nassim zway yeah fsho I would’ve never thought I would shoot for vogue or VSCO and I’m 20. It takes time to get gigs but if you work your ass off shit happens more than you expect it too. 🏌🏻♂️
Facts!
Most people would say your prime would be in your 30's, as your 20's is your time to experiment, try new things, and learn from your failures.
When he is putting the cologne on, it looks like MuchDank is editing this and rewinding the clip over and over
Makes sense
HYPEBEAST didn’t do the interview, T.I. did
Louis Habicher underrated
FACTS 😂
Louis Habicher 😂😂
Keep doing these hypebeast diaries it’s beautiful
skepta’s plug 3000 and make them longer
That T.I part was mad awkward. Shit looked like when you end up in small talk with that relative you only see once a year at Christmas
that boy put cologne on he ankles hahahaha I never seen someone use that much spray in my life cuz probably hummin'
Who the fuck uses thaaat much cologne
It's a pulse point. You're supposed to put perfume on all pulse points.
@Yuju Waterbottle um yes you are. You're definitely not supposed to douse yourself in it like he did but perfume is meant to be sprayed (once) on the inside of wrists and elbows, chest, behind the ears and ankles because the pulse points are where the body is most warm, thus creating a stronger scent.
Yuju Waterbottle nah he’s right the ankles wrists neck are all pulse points and that’s where u spray
@@alecothegecko I'm a she, but thank you lol!
The way he admires the tucked in shirt lol
man said outfit is amazing it’s literally a flannel and a band shirt, can’t even see the bottom part
ART IS WEIRD. BUT THAT'S THE ART OF ART.
Y'all sure they didn't repeat the cologne scene like 5times by mistake💀
"I was big into anime"
*shows eminem figurine*
boy jenus neutronoid blame the editor
Lmfao
Eminem anime confirmed
This dude is so chill, he just dont gives a F about anyone..he loves what he is doing and he just creating and thats it! Such a dope and inspiring guy! Thanks Hypebeast for this video! Loved it!
Humility and humbleness goes a long way when you’re talented. Look how much respect and interest T.I. has when speaking to him despite being an icon to him. And how confident he is inviting Joey Bada$$ to the show.
this would be jaden smith if he wasn't born into wealth
yea but he is still successful
ON GODDDDD
Ironically he piped Jaden Smith's girl
@@zodwazungu9391 lmao who? and how u know this?
Zion Smith that news is oldddddd as fuck and it was Sarah Snyder niggas been known.
T.I. lookin like his pops
devontodetroit nigga 💀💀💀💀
Could have been a bit more in depth, would have loved to hear more about him and his process but appreciate the clean content👊🏽🙏🏽
He shoots with a point and shoot. So his process is point and shoot.
find your process
@@kosithebuilder5206 That alone is crazy. It forces you to be in the moment with a point and shoot.
@devontodetroit you sound mad upset..
He didn’t even mention his cologne.. you think this guy is going to say anything about his process? I think not
I started when I was like 18 I’m 27 now so that’s like 18 years ago
like wtf
He said like 10 but it did sound like he said 18 😂😂
first time hearing his voice, man is chill af
I smelt his cologne all the way from here.
Dude for real, gross how much cologne some people put on. Makes me nauseous
My face is always like this 😳 when I realize he’s 27 omg
asap rockys 31
@@yourboyeggs yeah but this guy has the face of a 15yr old lol
Is that old or something? Lol
he looks 15 😭
Bro this dude is amazing love the growth from where he started 💯 been on and off with photography. Seeing this is truly an inspiration . Gotta get on my shit.
All love man 💯
"3 years ago i worked at Dicks sporting goods" i like that last bit where hes surrounded by his flicks, reminds me of that kanye moment in the yeezy sample interview
Suuuuuuuper inspirational.
Also, I'm jealous as hell that you got to meet and kick it with Mac, Tyler, Uzi, Rocky, Yachty, and the list goes on.
Keep doing you!
03:32 when u aint got time to have a shower but u have to smell good
I watched this 3 year ago and it changed my life, still is today
Man's much quieter than you'd expect from someone who interacts with so many different artists of so many different backgrounds. It's nice.
Those photos go hard af. Will always be my inspo in my work
Glad I was able to be apart of this!
he seems too calm and humble, especially when meeting up with rappers
We are all humans
thesmoothone he meet hella famous people already
thesmoothone yes.. but not all humans are humble
This is pretty dope keep this comin.
still not over the faces getting lost in the bind of the book lmao
Same
Honestly. How was that not accounted for during layouts/prototype prints. High key disappointed in his book
the pic of rico nasty was directly in the crease lmao
Oh boy, maybe next time first one on the vid - dope🙏🤞
An exhibition of his portraits
That's big moves 🙌🏿
Something I aspire to achieve
T.I. was like damn this youngsta got on so much cologne😂😂
“Dreams into reality” Chase it ‼️
So inspirational, as a fellow photographer very happy for this man's success and that goes for anybody trying to pursue their dreams I'm trying to do the same. Glad to see people enjoy prints and the appreciation they got for photos. Photography is the passport to the world if you wise on how to use it.
Keep mashin bruh, good job
I wanna see this guy do a behind the scenes shoot video or stories behind the photo. Love how this guy views photography.
this is my favorite video ever.
thats so f-ing dope, it sucks how under-appreciate they are
These videos are beautiful
Stunna 4 Vegas be living two different lives
Fuck You The correct word is “lives” in this instance. “Life’s” is used as a contraction for “life is.”
lmaooooooooo
Yooooo😂😂

When he played the mojo so dope video, I felt that, shout out the goat.

gunner really broke out the endless waltz vhs GOT DAMN
Such a baby face. His work is dope
i’m here cus the “beef” with uzi but shoutout gunner tho he a big inspiration
Fym
@@brxndon4148 apparently gunner and uzi allegedly had beef a few months ago but i doubt it was a real thing
That fade clean as shit
He really mostly just documents hip hop. His photos aren’t exactly difficult technically. The difficulty is getting in the room with artists and gaining trust. So big props for that
devontodetroit bro u gay
devontodetroit you got problems man
Definitely inspires me to do big things with my photography. Much love gunner +
What are those old cameras!? Really love the grainy vintage look
