This series has made me grow so much it’s insane, taking the bits and pieces from everyone’s workflow and further refining your own with it. Thank you Paulie
agreed, best thing out by far on youtube for streetphotogs.
this series has aged my photography knowledge and wisdom by years
He has soooo much energy, wow --- couldn't stop watching this video, I understand his feeling of wonder at the photo opportunities! I get that whenever I go somewhere on vacation or somewhere I haven't been--- really genuine guy and his drive is unreal! He must spend a fortune on film and developing--- really enjoyed the visit with him at his home! great work Paulie!!!! he's one to watch and follow for sure!!!!!
I’m more than beyond proud of my brother and hearing him in this video talk about his accomplishments and how passionate he is about photography. Also to all the people in the comments being rude yes he does talk a lot but keep it to your self, if you didn’t like the video from the start you didn’t need to watch it.
Hell yeah I love the support and love you have for him, but it’s the internet. This is essentially what you sign up.
Thank you and I agree the internet can be tricky.
Your brother is a lot, and I think that's awesome.
pff...
Sat down to watch maybe the first 20 minutes of this video this morning with my coffee, but got sucked in and pushed my plans back to watch the whole thing. Incredible thought provoking conversation for someone like me still in the early days of figuring out what I want my photography to be and leaning more and more into family documentation like Adali. Thanks for putting this out
Like the car photos and the way you talk about your evolution and process, but Jesus, watching you drive with no hands while facing the passenger, getting stuff out of the back seat, steering with your thighs. . . you are truly 23 years old: invulnerable and immortal.
This is my favourite series, I watch all of them, great work
This dude uses so many words to describe simple things, which usually puts me off, but the fact that you can feel his emotions when he speaks about the things he loves with so much enthusiasm and joyfulness, its hard not to be enchanted by the subject matter he touches on. I'm sold!
Truly one of my favorites in the series. So inspiring to see such dedication and thought-provoking passion for photography.
This whole series is so inspirational but this episode is by far my favourite. Adali's enthusiasm and meandering philosophical musing is a real joy. I honestly could have watched him for hours.
The more is goes on, the more this series of talk & walk is pure gem 💎
man, this reminds me of what it was like to be young. Use your time, just do as much as you can, as long as you can!
These younger, charismatic and borderline insane photographers like Adali, Trevor Wisecup, etc. make me so hopefully for the future of photography.
There it is! Only a matter of time for the boomer comment! All of those photographers are legends, and literally every “new” photographer in Paulie’s videos give props to Winogrand, Parks, Bresson, Maier (if you actually knew anything, you’d spell her name correctly)… Stop living in the past and gatekeeping art.
Wisecup seems like a nice guy but I haven’t seen him produce any good work 😂
@@alexlee3227 “good” is subjective
@@Nacnud92 of course, it is subject to opinion. I gave my opinion. I’ll expand: he has nothing new to add to the genre and fails to do any of the things that the greats of photography have previously shown us. I only see shallow snapshots that lack both technicality and emotional depth. Thanks for your insightful reply.
You can her in his voice, thar the world hasnt beaten him yet
i agree- he is as broken as the rest of us....but he doesn't know it yet! So many of us had messed up childhoods; he seems to have that white male privilege thing going on?? His mom sounds like an interesting person and a survivor. perhaps she is part of his inspiration? Im glad he found film photography- it serves him as an outlet to flourish.
@@coastalartistlivingonislan8395 the kid is definitely inspired. I remember when I was a lot like him. Starry eyed with an open heart.. I would like to see the direction his work takes after he has had a go at things for a while.
@@PeachPeachPeachBBY i do not wish my pain upon others
Beautifully and honestly articulate and assured in his work. The light, composition, and textures of the images tell a story of LA that is authentic and raw.
I love it when people can see beauty where I just see something ordinary. That's the genius part. When I look at their photo and think: "Why didn't I see that? It was right in front of me."
Absolutely loved hearing Adali share his passion.
Here for the Chris Verene love. 👏 That book is a favorite of mine.
Another gem of an episode. Could feel his passion through my monitor. Bravo Adali!
Came across Adali’s work a couple months ago and became such a big fan. This came at the perfect time !! Thanks Paulie.
Love all of the conversation in this one. So good.
I was photographing for some years when I had 22 too. Made the mistake of deprioritizing it for many years cuz other adult life shit. That early adulthood energy is one of a kind moment, keep doing what you do, you’ll gonna go far.
i’ve loved this guys work for a while, so glad he’s featured
love how you talked to him in his home, him showing you all his books was so dorky and endearing
Trevor Wisecup's mortal enemy 😂
Trevor is a thief and a hack
Why a thief?@@evertking1
AHHHHHHHH HIS WORK IS SO GOOD HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT HIM AHHHH
This one was exhausting to get through. He's like that one friend who gets all philosophical when they get high, except this guy's sober.
😂😂😂
He sounds a bit over eager sometimes, true. But come on, he's a 22 year old kid with a ton of passion, ofc he's a bit much at times. It's clear this kid has a deep knowledge of the history and craft of photography, and his work speaks for itself. The guy knows what he's doing.
Do you really think you were more articulate at his age, or more knowledgable, more skillful? I certainly wasn't. Why not try to get past the slight cringe and give Adali the benefit of the doubt? He's clearly got respect for the medium we all love. Let's show him some respect in return.
I loved every second of it. So happy to have found his work thanks to Paulie
Asbergers
no one asked
Uncle Matt says YES 😉
You need to get yourself out to the US, Matt, and get on one of these! I'd love to see Paulie running to keep up with you! ;)
I really love this documentary series Paulie. I see a little bit of myself in all the people you interview. The one thing I've noticed is all the young guys are trying so hard to be different or find their unique style and be Magnum legends by age 27, while the older photographers are more zen and just shoot.
Nuclear enthusiasm tempered by intelligence ,,,love it. Also, great air bending in the mercedes.
This has me analyzing my entire photographic process in a good way. Seeing Adali’s and a handful of others work who are really capturing the intimate details of their lives is really inspiring. I’ve taken so many photos, but not many of them represent my personal experiences. Going to point my camera more at the things I know really well.
THAT PART WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT STREET AND HOW IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT'S HIS! PERFECT EXAMPLE IS HOW ALLLLLL THE STREET PHOTOGRAPHERS GATHER TO THAT WATER AREA IN WASHINGTON PARK -THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME AND CAN BE ANYBODY'S PHOTO!!💯💯💯
Wow he can talk !!! some good, some bad but his Ohio photos were superb so enough said . Would be interesting to go back to him in ten years and see how he's matured .
We live in a time of living legends! I loved the iPod touch origin story, and when he busted out City of Quartz, I knew I could trust him with the photographic choices he would make with capturing LA.
This guy is definitely not a living legend 😊
@@MrPhotographerDude Let's come back to your take in 25 years. The attention spans here are short but the Internet always remembers.
Maybe its just me but I liked that when you asked him questions he stopped the performance and became what seemed a bit more genuine and thoughtful. Or, Maybe I dont remember what it was like to be 22 years old and really excited about photography. Whatever it is he is getting paid to make his work and his work is resonating with people. That's what matters I guess
Really enjoying seeing other photographers that are outside of street photography its great to hear other prospectives.
Ah, the innocence of youthful ambition.
It's so interesting hearing people's stories IN DETAIL of what originally sparked their interest in photography. I truly love hearing the story behind "why we photograph". REALLY loving this series. Sometimes I feel like some photographers were like I just happened upon it. I remember in first grade my initial "interest" in photography was sparked by a substitute teacher who was this sweet, older lady. She brought in a slide show of DC shots she got and we viewed the photos on a projector. This was in 1996. I still remember like 2 of the photos vividly and one was of a car driving around the White House and it was a blurry shot but I LOVED IT! Didn't start shooting til I got in High school.
Is this the first walkie where we didn’t see any of the photographs from the walk?
I always look forward to seeing the photos but I don't think there was any worth showing on this one. hah
Not a true photographer (video editor/writer) but this series feels essential in helping my own creative journey!!! Even showed a few videos to my gf (film production) and it's helping her too! Thanks Paulie :)
the passion is immense
At first I found him irritating but his passion and enthusiasm is so infectious.
So much to love here, but I can say I love how much he loves other photographers photos. Sometimes I forget to put down my camera so I can just enjoy other photographers body of work.
Typical college educated artist. lol I’ve been around them for years. Passionate. Loud gestures yet soft spoken. And always working on something. This was dope
Just Pure inspiration. It felt so reassuring hearing him speak the same things I feel internally. ♥️
It's refreshing to see such passion.
thank you Paulie, i'm beginning a real job of photography, specially in a very good school in France, and i was searchin a chanel where photographers had this opportunity to show how and why they work and why they choose phootgraphy. Thank you very much from south of France
Love watching these videos. As I learn with my self and my own photography, these videos always brings new ideas and new perspectives on photography and finding uniqueness in your own. 💯
Wow, I absolutely hated all the photos he loved. What a big beautiful world it is.
😂
@@chris_jorge same lol, but I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder
This was excellent!! Wow. Love his energy, the no BS approach to just make it happen. Great inspiration. This series is a cut above the rest. Great work Paulie
Authentic. Appreciate the purity and passion.
These always make my day. We need an episode with dov and andrwsnapd in toronto!!!!
bro is a mad scientist , and Im here for it
really good one, great work & super inspirational - thanks to both of you!
Hands on the steering wheel buddy! 😂
Amazing!! Excited to see the LA photographers! Try reaching out to Jack Bool or Cameron Strand! Two inspiring photographers for me.
Walkie talkies is walkie therapy ❤️
I'd be curious to see his energy in 10 and then 20 years. One of my favorite things about Walkie Talkie is what I personally read out of younger photographers vs older ones (and the ones in transition). I think the energy and hunger of younger photographers is interesting and makes me remember my own trajectory. I was hungry and determined, I hit road blocks and snags, I went on a long hiatus, and now I'm back, but older and with a totally different perspective.
So glad I found this channel.
Great to see Richard Billingham getting a shout!!
Brilliant photographer. . The thing that struck me was his fear of conflict while street shooting.
As A Los Angeles based photographer, I completely relate with his point of view. I am an editorial photographer, but not shooting for the journalistic press more for magazines like LA's FLAUNT and the international magazine PURPLE Fashion Magazine. His elucidation of his influences are shockingly erudite for LA photography that most people don't look at. Just like in the art world, people think of LA as Rusha. People think of LA as Winnogrand, which is fine but what about the others. Its hard to keep up with his book choices because some of the work I have never heard of but I have been looking for the quintessential LA "photo" vistas of the vastness of my home... and Adali has seemed to find them! What about Filipinotown, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Glendale, what about Pasadena... K-Town, the fiuck NO ONE shoots K-Town!
Also, keep the close up contextual work, I've been doing it too. I can't get any traction on it, but somehow it's important (to me). Maybe it is just a build up to something else?
Can we get the photo books he referenced in a list in the description? Thank you!
I enjoyed this! He was articulate and thoughtful. You guys covered alot of ground in L.A. I was familiar with every location and it was refreshing to see his excitement about them.
I will say, though, there is a huge photography community in LA/LB/OC with photo labs opening and gear stores popping up.
Awesome episode, Paulie. Great inspiration for making new work. I’m ready to get back to LA as well…
the slide show at the end rips very nice work
I REALLY LIKE THIS GUY'S STYLE, SHOTS AND HIS OVERALL OUTLOOK ON NOT JUST PHOTOGRAPHY...BUT THE ARTS! LOVE THE VIDEO!!💯💪🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
An Ipod touch, which was a thing at the time. bruh lol
made me feel old as dirt lol
You find so many uplifting, inspiring photographers which cheer me up. Thank you.
I thought it was the best one yet. Loved his passion and his photos. Certainly provoked lots of comments.
Omg 1hr 20min!! Hooooolllyyyy
Nerds are the BEST dude. I would love to hang out with this guy.
Feature length walkie talkie. More of this!
Best one yet!
The amount of times he says "not to sound pretentious.." and proceeds to be pretentious.
The Nytimes editor went with this guy because it was cheaper to do a Chris McGinley style of photoshoot with his friends instead of paying each person who invested so much in their car separately. That said, this guy is very LA - I lived there and went into mental institution. Good video, Paulie & don't be put off by haters. I love you & Adali. later.
I love this guy!🤣
Put this on while I worked today and I loved it! Great work
Really interesting love it guys!
A lot of different opinions on this guy in the comments. I think this is one of the best episodes. He's not standing on a corner sticking a camera in people's faces and calling it art he's actually doing something different. That's a good thing. For me, the best episodes of this series are the ones that had photographers that are trying something different. You may not like it but it's different. Not the same generic stuff over and over and over again! How boring!
Wow I’m early 😂 great stuff as always Paulie
the colour grade in this is perfect
i love his nikon F2 tshirt
Great episode. 56:50 is so good.
Kids got 22 year old confidence, college degree, and a lot of class and white privilege. His work is dope.
You're good in my book with a Massive Attack reference.
As genuine as I really believe he is, he still comes off as extremely pretentious. And I'm not nearly as impressed by his work as I am by many other people that have come on this series such as Laura Fuchs, Trevor, Daniel, Melissa, etc. A lot of big words used, yet the photographs shown here come across as subjective snapshots that are meaningful only for personal reasons. Nothing really wowed me or surprised me. Hey, different strokes for different folks. Seems like he loves picking up the camera and that's all that really matters I guess.
I am getting the same vibe, seems like he can talk about himself all day rofl
Agree. I looked at the photos on the video, instagram and official site and hardly any of them stand out to me. In fact, there isn''t that many photos posted.
That’s the beauty of creatives/ art, not everyone is going to like the same work. I admire his enthusiasm and passion but for me personally I’m not too interested in his style of work. I enjoyed watching his process and how he got into photography but I personally preferred other videos from this series. Some people might say he comes off very pretentious but perhaps it’s his age. Paulie very much took a different approach in this episode, which I still enjoyed.
This is exactly how I feel about 80% of film photography RUclipsrs, the main culprits that review cameras and take generic landscape shots with lofi music and soft voice narration. Pretentious, technically savvy, but not that good creatively.
This guy has a lot more work to do to be called an artist photographer. Less talking more photographing. Not my favorite episode.
Come to St. Louis.
He's living my dream life…
Los Angeles looks like the poorest city in the country. Literally
Shoutout samy's camera!
This guy is on it 👌
what a vibe
The camera on his T-shirt is a Nikon F2, not a Nikkormat like he thought 🤠
Next time you are in LA please do one with Jeremy Paige!!
i think its dropping soon
He reminds me of Mark Duplass in Creep lmao
I fucking love these videos.
Come to Detroit
Forget about the haters, this was great. So what if he's not doing traditional street photography. He's just being unfiltered and honest. New Yorkers have a certain way about them that rubs some people the wrong way, Texans do, LA types do too, that's just 'merica. If the root of pretentious is pretending, I don't think he was pretending at all.
Wow. Intense.
Nice to see a photographer who doesn't think surprising someone with a lens in their face is photography.
Pls do Vancouver BC! lol make my dead town alive again!😂😂😂
