    He is genius because he is not spoilt by the techniques, methods and theory. He just picked up the camera and went to the street.
    Pure and natural. Love it!

A piece of art in itself. It is very inspirational in all sorts and forms! Paul's story and photography proves that it is never too late to discover and enjoy photography. I sincerely hope to meet you and Paul once upon a time in London. Greetings from the Netherlands.

    Oh wow...I watch a LOT of RUclips about photography and photography related content and this one was just (smh in wonder) inspirational in a way I've not seen before. The ebullience, the practical, genuine take on street photography was refreshing. I've heard some of it before but sometimes you hear it from someone who resonates with you and it all just clicks. (Cliche I know) But thank you for this video. Truly thank you. Paul Harrison is inspirational and 'real'. Time to make street photography my regular routine.

    Wow....this is one of the best "street photography" videos I have ever watched. Great guy, wonderfully talented and able to spot that extraordinary scene, works hard and long to get his unique shots........this is great street photography and a huge step up from some of the more mundane work that you see on youtube. I also really appreciated the way you took the back seat and gave the entire video to Paul. You managed to bring out some great stuff with your interview and never once did it encroach on the main subject.....very well done

    I love the analogy of never knowing music,and then one day walking into a record store. It has happened to me only a few times; like in 1973 when I saw balloons outside of a Licorice Pizza in North Hollywood, on Victory Blvd. And when I went inside they were celebrating two things; David Bowie's Birthday, and the release of his "Pinups" album. It changed my life and my musical tastes forever ! He became my favorite artist of all time and opened my eyes to many new types of music. Many years later I discovered another life changing artist: Koji Tamaki , and his group at the time; Anzenchitai. A group of Japanese musicians, that again changed my musical tastes and my life. I found a sound that I had not known, and not only that, they at the time of my musical "discovery" already had 4 or 5 albums out. It felt like I had unearthed a big treasure chest full of all the things I really needed in my life.

    Good to see the galleries are still allowing photography with a camera rather than jumping on you and demanding to know what you are doing. Did similar in the 60's & 70's and was followed by staff occasionally - most were OK once they knew you were an amateur but were completely opposed to flash - which can damage I am told. Film then didn't have the ability of high ASA/ISO in those days so results were truly grainy - great to see such enthusiasm mixed with great skill.

    • @The_paulharrison
      @The_paulharrison Год назад

      In the case of the National Gallery, they changed their rules in 2014. It wasn't so much that they specifically wanted to allow photography but more that an inevitable side effect of them introducing free wi-fi was going to be more smartphone usage in the gallery, and how that would make it a losing battle to keep a lid on people taking photos with their phones.
