Paulie B52What Most Street Photographers Get Wrong Today

Paulie B sits down on Eyeshot 50mm to discusses street photography, shooting strangers, ethics, New York, Walkie Talkie, visual clichés, and why he is not trying to be Daniel Arnold. Paulie B is a photographer, filmmaker, and creator of Walkie Talkie, the YouTube series that has opened up the process of street photography to a wider community. In this conversation, he reflects on what it means to photograph in public today: when to approach, when to disappear, how to deal with confrontation, and why being a street photographer requires more than one way of seeing. From the pressure of photographing New York to the responsibility of making images of strangers, from social media comparison to the clichés of contemporary street photography, this episode is a direct and honest conversation about process, fear, ethics, community, and the future of street photography.
