Maybe I had wrong expectations but I thought this was going to be a mini documentary. I didn't get any sense of narrative or how he actually turned from homeless to a photographer.
I was a photographer, aspiring actor and model all prior to being on the roof and while on the roof. I explain in the film that a trip to the south of France pursuing a photography dream ate up all my savings leading to not affording a home. There is much footage of me shooting while sleeping on the roof.cheers
Hola Folks , Mark Reay here subject of the film. I guess most of you have NOT seen the film and are drawing conclusions based on this clip and maybe some press. It is available in the US on Itunes now if you are interested. To address Melora's comment- well what can I say?- its a true story and my life hasnt followed a Hollywood script for a happy ending but the story is still worth telling/watching- and audiences around the world give it high marks and contact me often.. My predicament is neither black nor white in terms of how/why. Generally, I have jobs that are high profile/ low profit. Many people in NYC WiTH jobs are in shelters or crammed into very unpleasant apartments due to high rents or struggling mightly to pay rent.. I am not a victim nor do I hold any one or entity at fault, like many people some of my business investments didnt work out or are less profitable making housing a problem and at the same time I gained satisfaction from living off the grid and not making my problem some one elses problem. Small apartments in any borough of NYC (and they all are small in NYC) are around $1200-1800/month and renting a room from $600-1100 FYI and that's after tax so add 25% to those figures for the amount none needs to earn... THE GREAT MUSIC in the film is by acclaimed jazz musician Kyle Eastwood (yes he is the son of...) and Matt McGuire. Thanks all for taking the time to comment. Mark

+Mar Roy Hey Mark great film! If you're ever in Italy we live near Milan and have a couch you can sleep on. You may have heard of www.couchsurfing.com you could use it as a bit of comfort every now and then and especially if you're travelling. Wishing you well. Emma Fabio e Alma
I wanted this to be a heartening story of creativity and redemption, but alas it was just another perpetuation of the dominant paradigm in fashion and more recently "street style".
This is a clip from a movie Homme Less which is a very interesting case study about maintaining dignity and separating your lifestyle from your financial situation. Mark is an interesting person, my main takeway from the movie was reflecting upon myself as a creative professional and how could I maintain my integrity if things don't work out as well as I expect them to. Go watch the movie!
and that's it? I know nothing about this man's story. how did this homeless buy a camera for example?does he earn enough money now? just thanks to the title I know he is or was a homeless. zero of zero. this is a really poor video Thomas Wirthensohn. I lost my time.
“Overdeveloped sense of importance” id ignore the shit out if him too! Some stranger tryna talk to me in the street? Im good. Seems like somebody else has a sense of importance since he think hes entitled to their time
Mr. Mark Reay is the homeless with the licence to kill. its the art of a surpreme master to stay noble after sleeping under a plastic sheet! ! In the end its a modern life style, there will come more of us living the same in the future, thanks for showing us how it works in the way of a gentlemen! Greetings from Vienna!
I really hope the future does not include people that work cant afford a roof over their head.. I wouldnt say being homeless is considered a modern way of living.
Shure we all hope that! In the end it depends on if all of us realize that we are a big family ,and not a mass of indiviadual gorilllas, where nobody cares. How is it possible that a gentle guy like Mark finds him in that situation? I giuess because first he thinks that he has to make it by himself ( as we all are trained likewise) and second because noone wants to leave his comfort zone, like beeing alone at home with only his computer. Maybe we forgot how nice it is to share. Same for me. I just wonder how it all happened?
NullusBrahms I get your point now, at first I thought you meant that being homeless is a modern way of living and that it is not a problem as long as you can adapt to it. I also find it wrong that a man has to resort to living in the streets just to be able to make it in a field he is passionate and talented in. I myself find it easy not to be alone, just keep an open mind and be the best version of yourself you can, be positive, open and smile. People will want to talk to you, dont be afraid to share or connect with other people!
Hi Mark! We thought this was a film about you, I will definitely look for the entire film. The sense of entitlement that we give to models seems wrong..... I wish you beauty and love, stay safe ❤
Just watched on Amazon Prime It was really interesting. Hope he is alright. Maybe he should be a you tuber. Agree with one comment here that If you are endowed with good looks and a sense of style, you have more mileage in life..
Yeah, I thought his story would be featured. I'm sure that would have been more interesting than a "story" of yet another photographer getting photos of models who all look alike and calling it "street style"- ugh! For that I have two words he could learn from: Bill Cunningham. He took photos of real people, all shapes and sizes and styles.
Starts with great music and then it's uphill all the way from there. Surely whether you shoot people, animals, places or whatever is this not what photography should be about, sharing experiences?
People don’t understand how much of a fast-talking, bullsh*tter you have to be to get people(let alone models) to stop and take photographs for you in NYC. Bravo to this guy
no but the title does. Check out the film Homme Less on any provider. Even if you dont like me or the film its true ,raw and made with no crew, no budget, no experience. 4 out 5 stars when it opened in London (The Guardian) 80% Rotten Tomatoes.
I dont think castings have an this 'huge self feeling of importance' so they do not reveal the location, is for safety for women!!! they could be kidnapped or something

This is just a trailer,I watched the whole documentary in Amazon last year

Do you know?
part of the feature length film score by Kyle Eastwood (Clint's son)...marvelous effort.
Mark is an Inspiration for me being once homeless myself being Artistic to over come the depression and gaining respect

ニューヨークのホームレス、
マーク・レイさん(1959年6月25日生まれ)はビルの屋上住みです。
蟹座。ほんとは家庭を大事にする人。
もしここに穴を開けたら
3メートルくらい下に
すやすや眠る友だちが見える。
一時期ヨーロッパに行って
4年前に戻ってきた。
向こうでバカンスの間だけ雇われる
専属カメラマンになりたかったんだが
うまくいかずすっからかんで、
ニューヨークに戻ってきた。
困り果てた末に思いついた。
友だちのアパートの屋上はどうかなと。
世間ではホームレスに対し同情すべきだと思っているが、僕に同情する必要はない。
いくら考えてもわからないんだ。
なぜ自分に自信が持てず、自分が嫌いなのか？
大学も卒業したし、仕事をし、
キャリアを築こうとした。
ずっと満たされなかった。不満の人生だ。
女性もそう。誰にも「愛してる」と言ったことがない。家族は別だが、生きてきて一度もだ。
こんな容姿だから女には困らないだろうと思われがちだ。週に何度も遊び歩いているだろうとね。
寝たい女性や気になる女性にまで
そう思われている。決まって言われるよ、
「大勢のうちの一人でしょ」。
そうじゃないのに。
僕の判断が間違っていたのかな？
「人生に迷ってばかりだが、
そこらの滅入った奴らと一緒にするなよ」
そう聞こえたのかもしれないけどね。
僕の人生をさらけ出した、
憐れむべき境遇を、
僕を張り倒して言いたいだろうね。
「バカ野郎、腰抜けめ」
「自分を憐れむ暇があれば仕事を探せ」
「部屋を借りろ」
この映画を観てそう思ったら、
いつでも俺のケツを蹴り上げに
来てくれ。
ある日、買い物を手伝いに母の家に行った。
きっと楽しいだろうな、
恋人と一緒にここで暮らせたら。
散歩したり、乗馬したり、
芝を刈り、家の手入れをする。
故郷に帰ると懐かしいし落ち着くよ。
安心感があって愛情を感じるよ。
母や兄姉とはとても仲がいいんだ。
(今のねぐらの)屋上では料理ができないから何か料理がしたい。
食べ物が詰まった冷蔵庫に
胸がいっぱいになる。いいもんだなと。
なぜ屋上に住むのかって？
それはつまり－－、
あそこにあるペントハウスが改装中だからだよ(とウイットを言うマーク・レイ。)
もうすぐ夜が明ける。マンハッタンの美しい夜明けだ。
発電所から日が昇る。
友人はこの(屋上の真)下に住んでる。
ちょうどこの辺りがベッドだ。
マーク・レイの仲間は言う。
失敗が多いほどチャンスは訪れる。
マークは、僕がどん底だった頃に、
ずっと力になってくれた。
2人で仕事にあぶれた時も頼もしかったよ。
マークは迷わず電話して2人分の仕事を取ってくれた。
マークはそういう奴だ。
今夜の彼はまるでモンゴメリー・クリフト
(『赤い河』『陽のあたる場所』)、
正統派の映画スターだ。
マークは映画やテレビに出るべき男だ。ジェームズ・メイソンのような魅力がある正統派の美形だ。
細身で品の良いロック・ハドソンだね！
彼は本当に素晴らしいよ。
バーイ、手を振ってくれないの？
じゃあ、キスとバグを。
僕の屋上に沢山の人が集まって
夏の夜を楽しんでる。
でも、心配してないよ、
隠れかたはわかってる。
フー。
雨が降ってきた。最高だ。
(俺は)どこで道を間違えた？
文章が順不同でごめんなさい！
道を間違えた？
間違えてないと思います。
マークは日常生活はきちんと計画していて、
勇気とウイットがあって凄い。
スリルがありすぎる！
その年齢でやれたのが凄い。
マーク、早く良い仕事が見つかりますように。
社長さんになって、
このホームレス時代のスリリングな
思い出を部下に楽しく話す日が
１日も早く来ますように、
祈っています。
マーク・レイさんに代役は必要ありませんが、もし映画にするならジョージ・クルーニーさんが適役だと思います。

@@markreay3421 Hi Mark! If you can, check out my IG Stephen_g_photography.
Thanks Man, cheers!
And yet he was desperate for their attention. That's the very reason why they've got a huge ego, becaus eof people like him.
i love his style and language
I love this guys attitude 😂
Merci!
COME ON!! What's HE'S story????
one of the best movies ive ever seen in my life.
what a dapper man!
Good work Mark.

Love this guys attitude!
The women he stopped on the street! Photos worthy of any fashion magazine. I'd buy a book of his photos...
u can! #markreay66 stop on by
I never knew if it was that chaos in the "backstage". Damn, need a long stick to bring my own flash
Hi Mark! We thought this was a film about you, I will definitely look for the entire film. The sense of entitlement that we give to models seems wrong..... I wish you beauty and love, stay safe ❤
Can't find girls that look like this in my city fuck
if you paid attention he says that they're outside a casting.
well it makes sense because model agents scout them out from all around the world...
love this guy ...great shooter...and very consumate
I love how he can make it look so casual. And i am so awkward.
:)
Wish the photographer the best and move in an apartment soon.
thanks got one...covid kinda F'd it..but mom's house still there.
this is like information overload for me... very interesting
:)
3:05 she is very gorgeous
Sam Rollins
Such an inspiration!! Wow
damn, the girl at 2:48 needs some burgers.
Whos the model in the end getting her photo taken. Shes got such a warm Buddha smile
She is the wonderful Yumi Lambert from Belgium...oddly enough I began modeling with the same agency she did but 25 years earlier.
the title is clickbait but the video is kind of ok
You are a very friendly man .
good luck mark, u great
excuse me, how can I find the full length version?
If in the US it's on Tubi...for free yeeha..going back to the roof
Good Boy.
Great video! Too bad we don't get to see much of his photography in this. I suppose it wouldn't be too difficult to google him though.
What’s that music at the beginning with the sax? I really want to know the song
Kyle Eastwood/Matt McGuire
Wow he's such a handsome and classy guy
thanks ;) I try.
i work for a photography studio and i find this enjoyable and insightful.
watch the WHOLE Doc!
Wow, he is handsome!
guys, who's playing the first track in the video please??
all music by Kyle Eastwwod (yes, Clint's son) and Matt McGuire
Somebody, quickly! Throw a sandwich at them or they gona starve!

Why is he homeless if he has an income?
+sofiash maybe he can't afford a house yet.
The question is if it's by choice?Can't he rent a small apartment?
maybe he thinks that a small apartment is not "homey" enough to be a "home", so that's why he's home-less.
(?)
So he is not a real homeless if he has a job
***** So,as i said earlier,he is not homeless by circumstences but by choice.
