Great interview! Paola is probably one of the most inspiring photographers out there at the moment. Love the cinematic approach to her street photography and the passion for the craft!
Thanks Fred - there's no doubting her passion
Indeed!
thats a legend right there
Love her work!! Great video and interview. I find it interesting that she wants to move on to video next. Filmmaking and photography can be similar, but very different. Personally, after 6 years of working on films I didn't enjoy it as much. The logistics and problems that go into film is crazy. I always found photo more fun and liberating.
I'm not sure if it was a conscious decision or not, but either way, I greatly appreciate the diversity represented in your videos. In a previous video, you featured the book Women Street Photographers (which I ended up buying bc of your video) and in this one, you're highlighting not only another female photographer, but an artist of intersectional, hispanic identity.
But I also love how you don't fixate on these aspects as being definitive of each artist's work, and ask great questions that talk about displacement or otherness in the context of creating great art, and it's not lost of anyone that you've linked Paola's style to the lineage of archetypal photographers like Walker Evans and Vivian Maier who are perhaps examples of an older, more homogenous idea of what a street photographer looks like.
The insight into historical references of street photography are also very educational, and display a deep understanding of the spectrum of street photography's stylistic and visual language.
Thanks so much for these very illuminating and thoughtful "essays"!
I absolutely love shoot street photography. When I went from a cropped sensor to a full-frame mirrorless the 85mm 1.8 was the first lens I bought. Absolutely love the images it can produce.
Saul Leiter used long lenses -- and color -- in the fifties.
Ahhh so cool to finally hear from monaris! Love her work!
People complain about the evils of social media but without it, how would I ever get to know or see about such great photography. So thanks a lot for creating such great content
Let me just say. I’ve been trying my absolute best to get these type of edits. Also, I never really seen the purpose of printed photography in this day and age but that book looks gorgeous. I’d love a copy.
There are rules? Damn. Nobody told me! Love Monaris' work. Absolutely addictive photography.
How I don't like labels and rules...overall when it comes to art, to make a creative act. I admit, as Paola told, I was really influenced by people around me on what is the right "tool"...no APSC, just FF, no this lens just that, you should have f/1.0 so you can make already an x-ray scan...etc etc...at the end of the day, one has to feel comfortable with his or her vision...
Thank you for highlighting Paola's incredible work. It's so inspiring for me to see a female role model out there. I've been trying to find work by female street photographers but haven't come across that many. It would be great to see more videos like this one!
Saul Leiter used telephotos For a long time. Beautiful stuff came from him due to those focal lengths. One of the best.
He certainly did - pretty long focal lengths too like 135mm from what I understand. Dave Heath used long focal lengths but also cropped aggressively
Beautifully done video! Paola's work is always fantastic!
What a beautiful book. 😍 Damn 3 books on my wish list of Setanta books now. I really love her work. She was a huge inspiration when I started Streetphotography.
Her composition and the way she handles tones and colors is THE best. Great photographer but an absolute amazing artist when it comes to pushing the picture to look the best it can
Watching her edit is in my actual wish list now.
You guys flirting ;)
So glad the UA-cam algorithms woke up and showed me your channel. I've been in this biz since the 70's and I'm always happy to discover "new" talent in this ever evolving field. Great reviews too! Cheers!
Great interview! Nice to hear different types of photographers' thoughts. Beautiful work
I recall her start, with a cell phone and an Instagram account; an inspiration to those who choose to follow this path.
The music sharply swelling up when there's a brief pause in talking is very very distracting... I suggest increasing the release time on the sidechain compression or just manually decreasing the volume of the music.
When you are in new York you think of specific things.... Why don't you tell lady?
I. Can tell. Yellow taxis. And liberty statue.
I know the “rules” of street photography and break them whenever I get the notion. I can and do use my 100-400 telephoto lens with a 1.4 teleconverter and don’t concern myself with the opinion of “real” street photographers on which is the right lens. Good interview, an interesting photographer. Thanks.
I would love to bring out a photography book.
I use the 50mm Youngnou on my Nikon D5500 which is an 85mm equivalent on the crop sensor camera
Is it ok to post edit a photo. Are there acceptable limits? What's the law regarding photographing people and publishing work without their permission? So many questions. I do apologize. But I know someone will answer 🙂
Nice move on bringing Paola to Framelines for an interview. I love her work, she has a very cool style of photography, which is easy to fall in love with. Also nice that you mentioned the paper of the book, that‘s something I especally love about her book. I legit thought the first picture was a real picture that could be removed.
Not gonna lie, I only have three hardcover photobooks in my collection, guess who they are? Hint: they all appeared in this video 😉 Also, I’m lookin forward to the next episodes filmed with the BMPCC and your thoughts on it.
thanks man - I'm loving the BMPCC so far. There's a huge difference between a cine camera like this and a hybrid. The screen alone is 2x as big. Will definitely talk about it a bit more more in future eps
Setanta seem to get a lot of exposure on the channel…..anyway I thought these pictures were nice,no doubt,but very familiar in the photographer as auteur scene.This is a genre I enjoy,just to be clear.But that’s fine ,its a genre i love.
You should use the lens you want and you feel. Why are people criticizing people's choice. Oh I am a big fan of Monaris' work
nice! but apart from the content, every second sentence is "you know" and "like"..... even for me as a non-native speaker......
One of the better videos on youtube, and that's all you've got to offer?
Very nice interview ! I've discovered Paola early in my "Instagram's life" when I jump into Street Photography ! What an daily inspiration even if I don't do cinematic style at all.
I really like the way you both see the genre with no rules. Rude photographers making rules of a genre forgot what's art, and it's good to hear you talking openly !
Thanks mate, now i will wear my shoes and go out shooting !
PS : And as a whisky lover I can only agreed about the Irish !
Very nice Shane! I'm pretty much into cinematic style streetphotography and I'm a big fan of Paola myself. I'm wondering if she has ever been into anamorphic lenses I guess her style doesn't need to have that kind of aspect ratio. Thanks very much for the great content!
Hope you're doing well Shane. I'll be heading down to London on 2 April to walk the streets. Maybe I'll see you round?
Inspiring choice of guest Shane. Paula's obviously worked hard on her artistic identity. The aesthetics of her images just add to the romance within the frame she captures. I smiled when you mentioned the 'rules'' of street photography and I'm pleased they don't mean anything to you either. It's just photography isn't it? Thanks for the vid Shane.
Fun to hear her talk a bit about her inspiration and forward direction.
Great interview.. love finding a new photographer!
A wonderful artist, amazing work. Thank you for introducing her - the book's on order...
Shane and Josh - thank you for taking the time to create these videos, lots of respect for you both.
Glad you enjoyed it Anand :)
Great video but Harry Callahan shot with a S&W with a .44
Well spoken, informative, interesting.
This is one of the better interviews I have seen in quite a while. Host and interviewee were excellent. Just the right length. Insightful questions and responses. Paola is charming and very talented… I really like her work..interesting that she shots with an 85mm. Excellent all around.
Wow, thank you!
Thanks for introducing us to another wonderful artist. I'm looking forward to learning and immersing myself in cinematic street photos!
You're welcome pradeep :)
I thought you were going to ask about her editing process.
Who disliked this? I just want to talk
me too ლ(ಠ_ಠლ)
Fantastic street photographer interviewing another fantastic street photographer!!!
This is an INSTANT must watch!!!!
thanks Mustafa! Glad you enjoyed it
Hi i shoot with 55x300 for street photography 📸
spend a fortune and get in trouble. YEP
"When I think of New York I think of Ghost Busters". WTF ? You need to educate yourself and watch some decent files matey...LOL...
Some nice pics however....
who ya gonna call?
@@frame-lines LOL
Schade wo doch die Welt mehr Puerto Rico interessieren würde :-)
Paola is great. Hugely talented, and hugely kind
Very nice all!
Great photographer and I'm getting her book. Have to disagree though on the "photogenicness" of today's World. Art is about the human experience, and technology has diluted our humanity. On the street, everyone (at least those brave enough to leave home) is just looking at their phones. Society - through the design of technology, has created a much more casual culture. No one tries to elevate themselves anymore in their appearance. It's simply athlesiure, baseball caps indoors, and shorts after dark. If people in the future romanticize this time - things have gone full Skynet/Bladerunner.
Thank you for this. I didn't know her work before, but it is fantastic!
You're very welcome!
Two of our favorite photographers chatting about photography? How can it be any better!! 👏👏👏
thanks SISSI!
I really enjoyed this interview and Paola’s opinions should be written in stone. There’s no rules or limits to a Documentary - do what makes you happy, document what YOU consider important. Not everybody will like it, and that is perfectly fine, as long as YOU like it (well, unless you’re a wedding photographer or so :D )…and her book is a beautiful piece of work. Have my christmas gift from my girfriend to me sorted out for her :D
I think they were vibin fo sho
Good luck to Paola with her journey in filmmaking. Made myself the jump recently
Just like Craig Whitehead, I see so many photographers trying to copy her style on IG but don’t even come close. Book looks very nice, might have to snag one up.
Didn't know about her and just went through her instagram. I instantly got Saul Leiter vibes. Great stuff
There’s no Instagram. It’s gone.
it's back
It's halarious to watch people squirm and seethe whenever social media goes down.
Just here to say big thank you to Shane for sharing the most beautiful photography on instagram. Your work motivates me and inspires me in ways you might never know ❤
Ignore garbled comment second sentence. Auto fill!!
Dohhhh
It's a good book but I do think some photos could be way stronger with better composition. It feels that sometimes the framing is not at its best. Colors and cinematic feeling is great though.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you!
A lovely interview. That book has to be the most gorgeous photography book I've ever seen.
I enjoyed this. Thanks for making this.
My first watching of your videos
I’m Irene there will be my
very inspiring approach. question is do you need model release for street photography?
Really nice chat! Love the design of the book.
Such an inspiration glad her favourite street lens is also my favourite 85mm 👌🏼really good chat enjoyed the video mate.
Glad you enjoyed it Feydan :)
She is sooooo awesome
Awesome video. She’s amazing, and I love her style.
Love all your videos, amazing work always, thanks!!
Thank you for bringing interesting street photographers on the platform, she is one of my favorite photographers XD
Love her style!
You got me from the begin, but you kind of Irish hook me with your outro about your people !
hey we should look also on jintonic and david dignaz:P
Monaris/ Paola book is impeccable in its presentation.
Wow, w o n d e r f u l photos from Paola ! Greetz from Amsterdam :-))
I've never seen your vids first one already subbed
Do you know if the street photographer, Monaris, gets the subjects permission to print their clearly identifiable portraits? I was informed unless the subject grants documented permission to print their images, especially for profit, a photographer can run into potential legal problem.
No. You have no expectation of privacy in a public setting. You are the owner of the pictures and can do whatever you want with them no matter what.
Great looking book & interesting interview. Glad to see more said about longer focal lengths; bit fed up of hearing how street shots have to be in people's face.
Excuse my ignorance but is there permission required to sell books containing the public?
it depends on what part of the world the photos were taken in. New York and the UK are ok.
Thanks for sharing this moment and this artist!
I remember seeing Paola featured in the 'Through The Lens' series on Adorama's UA-cam channel a few years ago and have followed her ever since. Not only a talented photographer but really has a knack for captioning her photos on Instagram too. Thanks for the great interview, Shane.
Same, it was the Cuban series. Both her and her wife were in it.
oh wow, she's so cool. using an 85mm for street photography is pretty common it seems. also, i wouldn't mind hearing about Ireland some more.
I was back there a few weeks ago. It's wet and the buses don't work, but the people are magic
I really love the nifty fifty ^____^
Been seeing this book pop up. Very lovely.
MAD RESPECT for mentioning the "old timer" street photographers! I'm brand new to this genre and am VERY excited to look up these photographers and their work for inspiration and ideas. So thank you for that! Also loved the interview with
Ms. Frankie, but I wish she would have made mention of the other type of gear she uses (if U would, please, respond: do U know what gear she uses, & would mind sharing that info? That would be great!) I know that the gear is not what makes the photo, but as a novice to street photography it would help give me ideas of what a great photographer uses and help me build a kit. Last, but not least, being a Bailey (Irish🇮🇪!!) LOVED your comment about us being everywhere!!! Again, thanks for the informative and inspirational UA-cam!
Cheers Blane. One of the fascinating things about Walker Evan's work is how contemporary it feels.
awesome video. will definitely be checking out more of her stuff. well done folks :]
You should! she's great. :)
Fabulous video!! Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Photograph strangers without permission in public places today and you can be in deep doo doo with the law. In the 60's, 70's and 80's I felt safe photographing even in private places with a Rollei TLR or a Leica M-3. The privacy laws have changed, people have become more belligerent, and if you are going to take a risk, even an 85mm may be too short.
Depends on where you live and what the local laws are.
There is absolutley no expectation of privacy in a public setting.
Nice interview with Paola, and as mentioned here she is a huge talent! I can totally relate to that a 85mm prime works nicely for street photography, and I myself never thought it would be as I initially bought one for portrait photography only, as I mainly shoot with 28mm on the streets. But when I was in Japan and also in Vietnam just before the Pandemic 2019, I actually found that the 85mm worked great combined with the 28mm for this style of photography.
85 is manageable if you're used to 50mm. Sometimes I go from 28mm to 85mm in the same day and it can give me a headache though
@@frame-lines Yes, that I think is most common as it is pretty big step between 28mm and 85mm. I'm probably representing the minority as I never came to terms with the 50mm focal length for my style of shooting.
A great interview! Paola's photos are stunning! Long lenses are fine. I mostly use a 50mm, on occasions have done images with 135mm! I hate those doing "voyeur: from a distance. One needs to be close and available to answer.. very seldom. Offer free images on internet and nobody ever asked! Love her color..
It's difficult to get past that voyeur look with 135mm isn't it?
@@frame-lines all photographers are voyeurs! I love looking! But in nice way!
i want get her preset 🙃
You're actually a pretty good interviewer, Shane! Lovely vid
Thanks CB - this was my first one :)
Thanks for taking the time to create and share this, I enjoyed the chat. And yes, there are a lot of us Irish out there in the big bad world ;)
I can't tell you how many times I've overheard an Irish conversation as I'm walking around in London. I always want to chime in 😂
Great video, winds me up when people say your not a Street Photographer because of what lens you use yet they’ll be fine with someone using a phone that can zoom in much closer than 85mm on FF.
It usually comes from people with no knowledge of the history of street photography
@@frame-lines Very true
Great interview and book review. She is such an inspiration and as you mentioned a really genuine person.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love her voice
I'm glad to hear that an 85mm on full-frame is Ok for street photography. I like the 85mm, especially in the pandemic. Great interview with a very talented photographer.
cheers Cal - any lens is ok for street photography. If anything street photography is too homogenous right now - i'd love to see people try really wild focal lengths.
Brilliant!
