- Photography is a vehicle for storytelling; capturing a moment in time yet allowing for endless possibilities of interpretation. Fill The Frame tells the story not only within the frame of photographs, but of the people behind the camera. The film follows eight esteemed street photographers in New York to get an exclusive look at their work and their own unique journeys. The photographers featured are Dimitri Mellos, Jonathan Higbee, Julia Gillard, Lauren Welles, Mathias Wasik, Melissa Breyer, Melissa O’Shaughnessy, & Paul Kessel.

Limited my a$$! Vivian was a genius and still blows away any and all street photographer today.
Thank you, DW, for a great documentary. Street photography is so raw.
😊
Great documentary, DW 👏 My personal favourite is Alex Webb. I attended one of his workshops as an intern at Magnum 20 years ago. Learning about his approach to street photography was truly eye opening. Look forward to more of these docs about photography!
Thank you! 🥰
My problem with street photography is that we are saturated with US pictures and especially New York. There's more streets in the world, I want to see those streets. Bangkok, Melbourne, Edinburgh, Berlin, Marseille, Kyoto...., so much more to see.
Let’s go! ✈️ 📸
True and becoming all the same.
I disagree. I have been participating in street photography community and the pictures are from everywhere. Yes, NY is the mega, but you see from pictures from Japan, Singapore, Ireland, Spain, Korea, Germany, etc.
I take street in my village with a population of 500 👍
I am with you on this.
Though Its not the photographers I am fed up with, it’s more the focus on New York.
I want to hear from artist from around the world.
Absolutely wonderful documentary...Thank you!
We're glad you liked it 🥰
Thanks - this is a wonderful documentary and I can relate to many of the views that the street photographers expressed. I appreciate their honesty and openness about what got them interested and motivated to be on the streets.
Thanks you so much for your feedback!
That is beautiful form of art " Capturing and immortalizing Life ! "
This is one great piece of work. I love the content and quality of artist.
Great documentary, been doing that "Street Photography" for the past 20 years ... Pack light (small gears with one lens) and enjoy the long walks
I do street photography in UK. It can be quite the challenge due to the suspicious nature of British people. There are security cameras literally everywhere in the cities. I'm followed often by security guards. But for this art, which I love, I persevere and try to keep 'focused'.
26:58 "What the fuck is this? Anyone can do this!" My thought's when I first seen street photography, then I went out and found it to be hard to find good moments and that they come very rarely, then it clicked in my head that it isn't all that easy to be good at it. That's why I appreciate it and love it so much!
Ok mate
DW is gold, I love this network.
I love Street photography from India
The best street Photography Video on U tube
🙏
I really enjoyed “Fill the frame “ thanks more like that please
Beautiful hobby we have! Fantastic Episode! Well done!
very insightful and charismatic video. thank you very much DW. you are my favorite news source but now are slowly becoming a source of cultural inspiration.
hey @bambaam7186, we're glad to hear this and that you liked our video! 🥰 Greetings from Berlin.
"Everything's been done, but not by me" summed up this whole film!
Wonderful documentary.
Very nice video. Very good information and excellent photographers too.
Great Documentary! Very Interesting! Thumbs Up!
🥰
what a beautiful film - very inspiring ❤
Thank you 🥰
This film is a good pairing with Everybody Street-enjoyed this one.🍎
Thanks! 🥰
Very enjoyable documentary.
Glad to hear this 😍
An interesting production.
Fascinating to hear the different perspectives on the art, diverse styles of work and to see that not all are brandishing $14,000 Leicas.
Amusing to see the dialogue illustrated with footage of grossly under/over exposed and fogged strips of film (well beyond the bounds of intentional high or low-key).
Got a lot of pleasure from watching this, thanks for making the film
I LOVE THIS VIDEO BUT BUMMED THAT THIS ISN'T A NEW VIDEO - I'VE SEEN IT A LITTLE WHILE AGO!! PLEASE PUT THIS ON DVD FORMAT THO!🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
@@WORDONTHESTREETphoto wow. That’s not cool
This was really enjoyable … please make more content like this.
🥰
Great interviews with some very talented people.
Nice documentary from DW! 😍
📷 Street photography is an oversimplified term.
In the age of social media, it is often misunderstood and misused by new and TikTok photographers.
Truly amazing.
We're glad you liked it 🥰
Where is the list of equipment each one uses?
great video,street photography can be quite a challenge these days, but worth the endeavor
You bet! Specially here in Amsterdam where people are violent
Yes, I was wondering how you get away with videoing people without them getting mad at you and don’t you have to get a model waiver for each person that is in the photo? I know that also differs by country. This was fascinating thank you
so well said about everything. loved this
Lovely documentary.
So glad you liked it. Make sure to subscribe for all the latest uploads 😊
@@DWHistoryandCulture I did ☺subscribed.
Love your channel ❤ 🙌 keep going 💪🙂
Thanks DW for making excellent documentaries but this particular one has a problem with the background music: sometimes it's too loud and rocky and it distracts from the theme and characters.
That is a pity, other users have mentioned this too! We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy it properly, nevertheless thank you for your feedback! 😊
This was great, thank you.
Thank you, just what I needed….🙂
Relieved! 🥰
Love this doc!📸
Capture irreplaceable moments.
Correction lady ! The most important photographer was Gordon Parks. Let's not cut out the most important part of this pie. :(
Thank you for sharing this
Wonderfull!
I hope street photography will become more widely recognised and practiced. It is one of the greatest and hardest forms of photography and art, and it has unlimited creative potential.
wonderful docu
Very informative summary of formative photographers. Unfortunately, the music in the background is sometimes very distracting and doesn't really contribute to the content!
Thank you for your feedback, other users have mentioned this too! We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy it properly, nevertheless thank you for watching 😊
Great video
Excellent!
Sure street photography document the time, people and culture and is really valuable, but the invasive way of photo taking maybe difficlut outside NYC, like in Germany where I am in.
In Portugal, except Lisbon, people stay relaxed, also in Spain, but be ready for an argument in Italy!
I think it's lot harder to do that these days. It's so easy to offend people if you point your camera on them.
@@mattwu7884 I try to sit quietly on a bench with my camera visible, not pointed at anyone, for about 30 minutes. Pedestrians seem to relax and accept the camera. Then it becomes easier for them to allow themselves to be photographed.
Gordon Parks 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
“Eggleston’s really important for color photography. He is really the person who started looking at color and taking it seriously, and making a wonderful body of material about seeing the world in color.”
The amount of disrespect that Ernst Haas receives, just so photographers like Eggleston or Meyerowitz can be propped up, is beyond irratting to me. Haas predates both of them when it came to making serious color photography. But nobody, and I mean nobody ever talks about him or his work. It’s beyond ridiculous to me.
in New York I think it’s almost expected to see a St photographer but in Europe especially in eastern block countries. DON’T do it ! Trust me. You’re asking for abuse both physical & verbal. People VALUE their privacy & it’s too invasive for them to comprehend. Just enjoy the moment & write about it instead.
Don't give orders
thanks
you can put a camera literally into people’s faces and then you are an artist and this intrusive behavior is fine, because it’s art, just like that?? Wow, just wow. I wasn’t aware of this and I’m so glad I live in Germany. This is absurd.
It is a good hobby when you retired or if you are sufficiently rich, what is the main job to earn money for living? In addition nowadays some people are non friendly when their pictures are taken.
I started street photography here in Germany like 6 months ago and
I'm really sad some of the comments here prompt me to check the law regarding streetphotography here in Germany and is really bad.
The law is clear you can't take pictures people that can be clearly seen unless people in festival, protest, groups and the rest.
You can't also share the image and the rest....
Now started deleting all the beautiful pictures i have taken.
Now i have to take photos of people if there not really in focus or their back or you ask for permission. I mean how 🤦🏾♂️
The video is fantastic and thank you. I only have one question which with your experience you know the answer: What about GDPR? Is it Ok to shoot and show people walking in public places? Isn't it personal data? Theoretically speaking, shooting people without their written consent is not legal. How do you deal with this? Thanks.
you should study the laws of the place where you are shooting. in most of the places in the world you are allowed to shoot pictures and video in PUBLIC places. now that is considering the fact that you take pictures for private usage. for commercial purposes you should again study the law.
just another perspective: when being in public you recorded all the time by cameras on the buildings and private cameras (private security).
Documental MUY INTERESANTE - Solo pedir a Uds 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Poner subtítulos en ESPAÑOL 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🎵🎶🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱 Gracias

I love street photography myself. But every time when i am taking a photo of people i feel that i am stealing without their permission
👍👍
Don't try this in Germany though ...
Why ???
@@miriamzajfman4305 we have a set of laws that makes it risky to capture/publish pictures of strangers without their consent. usually, photography for arts sake is still safe but it depends on the case-by-case decision of judges because the "right to their own picture" of a person has to be weighed against the freedom of art. due to that and the general preference to privacy, many people also react very negatively (read:aggressively) when they notice you photograph them. Street Photography in Germany is a mess.
@@ffll8427 Oh now I see
I do candid street photography in Germany - frontal and with the faces shown - and so does a fairly large group of people that I know. Nothing really bad has ever happened, the people react nice, some of them even feel flattered and laugh when being photographed. The freedom of art exists and street photography has been accepted as an art form by the courts. We should slowly start to let go of this "this is not allowed in Germany" narrative - it hinders all of us. You CAN do candid street photography in Germany.
@@IIIYarIII I tried it once, was threatened to be beaten up by a guy with a burly dog. No thank you.
Is there a no music way bro see this?
Did Fuji sponsor this 😅
Haha! Nope, no sponsoring 😉
I see two, maybe three of these photographers as having talent, and being artistic, the others simply have a strange compulsion that they need to satisfy.
Can someone explain why you can use these photographs (even make money from) without individuals permission?
Enjoyable, I highlight the fact that we can overcome the fear to make streetphotography.
The only thing I disagree is placing the lgbt agenda which has nothing to do with the subject
Where are the street photographers of color?
All these photos showing people as main focus or items with ownership can not be done any longer ... in germany and EU its forbidden unless you have an accepted contract with the person/owner ... exeption ... it is ART ... but this is mostly a costly question answered only by courts.
EUs/germanys art is going down the toilett by juristical madness and economics of juristical groups.
Really enjoyed vid except the background music was annoying. Actually, didn't watch the whole vid. Stopped before 13 minutes because the background music annoyed me that much.
That is a pity! Nevertheless, thank you for your feedback! 😊
the smash and grab style.
akin to pickpocketing.
tellingly, the people here are mostly well-off.
so...
Class is a big component here and I don’t know how to talk about it
So what?
@@barbatusimperator yes. it is.
you just need to look at the people who are the subjects and provide the commentary to see that.
To be honest doing it in Poland Will being creapy
You don't think security cameras recording you everywhere you go in Poland is "creepy" at 30 pictures per second but you complain about ONE photo? There is no law against "creepy" even in Poland. Wise up and grow up.
im guessing by looking at these photos anyone can be a street photographer lol
Of course….
Go for it! 😊
Thing with "street" photography is anyone can take these photos. None of these however made me feel a damn thing. Seen today, forgotten tomorrow. All this stuff has been done and much better than this decades ago.
“No such thing as street photography” Garry Winogard
John Free would disagree
@@zeitwillehe would ask Robert Frank.……
Tele a varos jo temak jo kepek
Street Photography kinda dead in much of the EU. You either can take people from behind or from 2kms away so that they are not recognizable. There is no way to capture emotion of the era and place anymore. It’s no surprise that video mostly highlights street photographers in the US or of the past.
@@enginlofca totally disagree. Street photography is just all around….
If you don't publish then there is no issue
I find it extremely disrespectful and problematic when people fotograph my childeren without my permission as seen in 35:52. Please stop doing that.
Which country are you in? Each country has different laws. Your laws and feelings don't apply in other countries. Finally you do not live in ALL countries, you live in ONE. So your feelings are irrelevant to 99% of the planet except the bubble you live in. The world is not you and does not revovle around you.
@@jamesprivet And the world doesn't revolve around photographers who take pictures of children who can't even articulate their rejection.
@@slomorenga under the ECHR there is a presumption of innocence for all European countries. Nobody is assumed to be guilty of a crime and then need to prove innocence. However many in Europe like yourself have a love of fascism and total control over others. I find it exteemely disrespectful and problematic when people like you need permission for something that requires no permission. Fascism led to a dark place in 1930s Germany, why do you love fascism so much. Your feelings do not matter, only the law and even in that case under law everyone is innocent first and the state needs to prove guilt of a crime. Your feelings and thoughts being "disrespected" are not and never will be a crime. Unless you are a fascist. Please stop being a fascist, you are in very bad company.
@@slomorenga the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) ensures that people are innocent until proven guilty. That is supra national law that sits ABOVE national law that supersedes what you may feel to be disrespectul or problematic. People are presumed innocent in Europe even if you think they are guilty and need to prove their innocence. Fascism was removed from Europe but it seems that you want it to come back. Wise up and grow up. Your feelings do not make laws or rules and they do not matter at all. Stop being a child and show some maturity and prove that you actually grew up.
@@jamesprivet In article 8 the ECHR ensures, that we have a right to privacy, that extends to the concept of public privacy, where people have an expectation of not being intrusively photographed even in public spaces. In article 10 it limits the photographers rights to take pictures of people in public to matters of public interest, such as protests, public events, or images involving public figures. Furthermore you should have a look at the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) or the Hague Convention, explicitly address the right of a child to their own image. Please look up article 16: Right to Privacy, this article ensures that children have the right to protection from arbitrary interference with their privacy, family, home, or correspondence. This can be interpreted to include safeguarding the unauthorized use or dissemination of images. And article 19: Protection from Abuse. This article obligates states to protect children from any form of physical or emotional harm. The misuse or unauthorized publication of a child’s image, particularly when it could harm the child's dignity or well-being, could fall under this protective scope.
I used to love the camera and made some great photos with various kinds, but I realize now what it is. The 'camera' is the 'chamber' and the chamber the place of death, which is what you create when you take a superfice and a surface and attempt to render Reality thereof. The very idea of 'wanting to immortalize Life' is the infant's tantrum turned up to eleven. The camera in other words is just another infantilizing tool/toy that maintains your state of 'surface development', and prevents any depth or health (as wholeness) - and thus Truth - from ever occurring. Alas! our Life is a Lie dictated to by machines that are gouged out of our very bodies. To record from the Old French is re + coeur, to return to the heart. The real camera in other words is the Self. You only need to observe the wild to know this. Clearly, you have spent too much time in the circus ;)
Alex Webb. After him nothing
Alex Webb is great! But that's a bit dogmatic, no? 🤔
Doing this is illegal in Germany!
no!
It isnt
Police will not arrest for street photography in Germany. Cite the law in Germany that makes it illegal. Your comment is made up in your version of reality and your own feelings.
Outstanding!
Photography isn't the same anymore. Older generation people will get it. Younger generations only see commercial Photography. It's the same as music, art and creativity doesn't exist 90% of the time. All those photoshops, presets, fake perfection is making actual art and talent a niche.
Love the concept of capturing a moment in time and creating art🎨
However, walking around with a camera and snapping pictures of random strangers in NYC, can easily get you KNOCKED🥊🥊OUT😵
Unfortunately; too many "CRAZIES" 😵💫roaming the streets and definitely, not worth loosing your LIFE👀
