    Love Kazu and his pictures - seems a super humble fella but he’s low-key building one of the strongest bodies of work of any photographer featured on this series - truly such a deft and subtle eye - look forward to buying his book one day - keep em comin Paulie!

    A high IQ plus a good eye plus a good camera plus working a lot. A pleasure to watch.

  • @NewYorkerPEACE
    @NewYorkerPEACE 11 місяців тому +64

    He's different than a lot of walkie talkie shooter and seem to consider composite and situations more than running up on peeps in midtown which is cool but I dig his style. Go Kazu

    I've probably watched this twenty times, and today I noticed something pretty amazing watching this. At 4:55 you can clearly his back and how the shirt he's wearing has sun faded around his bag and camera strap. True dedication

    “When I read his book I feel like Im watching a movie” such a great line, we should all strive for that in our pictures

    This guy has taken the best Walkie talkie images on the day that I’ve seen in the series so far.
    Thanks for sharing Paulie. You’re opening up the conversation for all of us to hear. Love from South Africa!

    This was one of my favourite walkie talkie episodes so far. I love what he said about the difference between composition in colour vs black and white. As soon as his images went up on screen you could see it made perfect sense.
    Some great shots on the day too - the woman lying down on the steps was particularly memorable. 👌

  • @alonmizrahi9297
    @alonmizrahi9297 11 місяців тому +18

    jeezz ... mesmerized at the amount of amazing photos he took on this walk alone! composition just seems so natural for him. can't wait for the book.

    • @CharlCharles

      He mentions that he studies the pioneers a lot and reads a lot, maybe that will help him a lot.

  • @RS-Amsterdam
    @RS-Amsterdam 11 місяців тому +8

    Wow, a lot of great shots among his examples.
    IMO his B/W shots are much better than his Color shots.
    He's got a great eye for composition and framing.
    Well done.
    Thanks for sharing

    The tune the jazz band is playing about 4:44 in is a Sam Rivers tune called "Beatrice", if anyone is curious. NYC has to be the only place in the world you can hear a street band playing Sam Rivers. Miss that town. Great video!! Love this series, I'm hooked.

    I've watched about 10 or so of these films and what I find so interesting is how all their characters are so different from each other but all are incredibly articulate in their own way, though are lot of the credit must also go to Paulie B here for his interview style and editing work.

  • @tim_butcher
    @tim_butcher 11 місяців тому +2

    Great title 'line of sight' the mum said to her daughter in passing. Hard to beat the trilogy Greater Atlanta, South Central and South East. Steinmetz is indeed a wonderful photographer. I'd love to see Kazu work outside of NYC. He has a beautiful sense of space in some of his photos made in the natural environment.

    Watching your videos on street photography is so inspiring. I can't imagine being so close to people and taking their picture without asking. How do these street photographers not get beat down and their camera's taken? Either way, thank you for sharing and inspiring me. Maybe I'll get my but out there and "give it a shot." Respects.
