[@DelusionalNYC]

“Walkie Talkie” is hands down the best street photography series on KZbin. Thank you for this insightful content - I appreciate you introducing me to all these great guests.

[@jxy9392]

Videos has inspired me to become a photographer, I feel like anybody can have the vision. Just get a camera and that’s a step one for me

[@anthonyfernandez4775]

Yes I agree !

[@AUU-n3n]

So dope! Paul B

[@billybongthornton]

truth

[@Adorama]

Very inspiring and thanks to Andre for sharing his views.

[@willyonamountain]

"The phone is dumbing my brain, you know what I mean?" Bro, we're all fighting it fr

[@melaninxhalide1165]

Really, really, really appreciate you for this one Paulie. It’s so hard for Black photographers to get love & shine on their work. Been a huge fan of Dre’s work for several years now and even got to shoot his portrait when I came to NYC in 2018. Keep doing your thing Paulie! Happy New Year, see you on the other side! 🎉

[@thesecondson30]

very import messages here about putting that phone down.

[@sommelierofstench]

please never stop making these. love hearing these talented folks speak and shoot away. these are important! thank you

[@AFREESOCIETYinc.]

FACTS 💯💯💯

[@dustinroderick]

Big Boss Andre showing us how it’s done.

[@BryanBirks]

Hell yes. Love his work. Really connected with what he said about social media and your phone. So damn true.

[@Sweetiesplanet]

Sooo true! I've asked my 12 year old granddaughter to watch this. I hope that she does and that his message(s) resonate with her. When she would visit me for the summer, I would only let her have an hour a day on the phone and she didn't mind because she was busy being exposed to many other things; that was deep how he put it! I even got a chance to take her to NYC to see Frozen on Broadway so her heart should remember this entire education. I absolutely loved everything about this series...fantastic!!!

[@alexcochennec2870]

We need the 45 min version!!

[@retropixer]

Wow. I don’t know what rock I was living under but I did not know Andre Wagner and I am now embarrassed. His work is spectacular, and you sir are doing angels’ work bringing out these icons to your channel. I can’t thank you enough.

[@sevakdilanchian]

This is great. The book recommendations, watching him shoot. His warmth and empathy really come through.

[@Dream331]

Amen to Andre’s comments about the phone!! I feel the same way. Put the phone down especially when you’re outside walking. All the mindless scrolling. So very true!! 🙏🏾

[@bonedyone]

4:30 "what you wan't is on the other side of fear" bro... if this ain't the truth. I struggle a lot with street photography and this episode is helping me.

[@newpageone]

Andre just might be my favorite photographer working today. I love that passion and excitement that he brings with him and his work is always at the top level. And that lady asking him to open her water was the cutest thing I’ve seen in weeks.

[@photog66]

This video brought back so many memories for me as they were walking through Bushwick on Broadway Ave. I use to live next door to Andre on Gates Ave 7 years ago but didn't; realize it until I was moving and leaving NY. I use to see him walking the streets all the time with a camera around his neck and I went to one of his exhibits, where I met him, but right before I was about to move from Bushwick, I was coming home and he was sitting on his front stoop right next door from me. I loved Bushwick and he captures it well. I'm a photographer too so it would have been cool to have gotten to know him better while we lived next door to each other. This was really nice to watch. His work is amazing!

[@dangerruss5]

The way this man just pulls up, snaps, and comes out with beautiful human moments is amazing. He's got perfect instincts.

[@almostgreen9498]

Not just his work; his photographic intelligence! I was completely wowed.

[@ka_sh_iif]

I dropped my phone when I saw Andre Wagner! Liked before even watching👍🏾💯👌🏾

[@ka_sh_iif]

drop that extended cut too!

[@tvariuness]

without question my favorite episode. love how he photographed black life. a true contemporary great

[@marving1416]

WHAT A GREAT MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER HE IS!! This is the next Gordon Parks!

[@jaeseey]

Always appreciate his work so much, and his thoughts on not only the process, but life as well 🙏🏽 Extended cut please

[@fufu1405]

Take a shot every time dude says ''like''.

[@progressocriativo]

It's great to see Andre D. Wagner on KZbin talking about his work and in action.

[@MikeChudley]

Really really, really like Andre's photos! Great episode Paulie.

[@Larrydavey]

“Making photographs on your own terms, that’s the dream” ❤️‼️💯

[@lawrencedgriffin]

“Always right now” is absolutely perfect. I have missed so many waiting for next time. Peace and good light my friends.

[@Thursby7181]

awesome interview! thank you for the work you put into these videos.

[@pascalvonwinterfeld4475]

Dope Video, does anybody knows what kinda Camera Strap this is? 1:51

[@kevinkubi1]

I haven’t even pressed play yet but I already know this will be GREAT. I LOVE Andre’s work. Thank you Paulie for this series!

[@WasteYuteeee]

I'm just getting into photography, started an online class a week ago to begin learning the basics. stumbling across this channel and hearing all these photographers' philosophies has really inspired me on another level.

[@DudeAwesome-xh3ps]

what lens is shown /used by Dre on his m6 just curios because of the optical viewfinder

[@vc6218]

I just watched Andre speak with Jamel Shabazz at the opening of his Gordon Parks Fellowship exhibition and then to see this on here.. wow. Heavily inspired. Wow. Timing.

[@christinacooperfilm]

This was awesome. I wasn't familiar w Dre. (I might be the only one.) But wow! What an intro! I loved hearing him speak! His photos are amazing! I am so glad I found him (and your show)! Subscribing now!

[@WesleyVerhoevePhotography]

Dropping some truth bombs there about how an audience reacts to celebrity photos regardless of the talent or quality of the image.

[@TheCyberkid24]

Andre has such a connection to his environment, you can see it thru out the video and its to the point that no one bats an eye when he photographs them.

[@FFriday]

I really hope that this channel blows up so that you get to make walkie talkies with photographer all around the world. Love your work, keep it up

[@donjose1010]

Thanks for the video! Equipment information??

[@seafoodrichy]

Your channel recently came up in my KZbin recommended and I’ve got to say man i’ve pretty much been binging the whole series since. The amount of knowledge being dropped in these videos and the format of them is a breathe of fresh air. Keep doing what you’re doing

[@whoisdin]

goddamn this was a great episode. i 100% understand why MacAndre would watch this over n' over. this dude seems to truly embody realness. to understand how special an opportunity is to shoot on set BTS stuff... but not losing the ability to recognize, and acknowledge, how street photography is what his soul needs? like. that's what's up.

[@Xenonic2]

“You need a little bit of seriousness to it. It can’t be all like, ‘oh we kickin’ it, having beers, like, photography is so fun!’” Definitely feel this way with a bunch of people on Instagram, they only do it for fun. I started doing it for fun but I just got back from a trip to Mexico with my family and I am astounded by how serious I was while taking some photos. There came a time in the three years that I’ve been shooting film that I stopped looking at my photos as just photos and it started to become my work. Work that I love and that I’m constantly trying to do more of. Being in the moment is definitely something to bask in. His mantra is super true. I missed a beautiful photo of my dad in Mexico because I waited too long and the moment passed me.

[@LuisGGomezPhoto]

I'll love to see the full clip. Excellent interview with Andre, and just to tell you how much I love your "Walkie Talkie" videos. Merry x-mas and a Happy new year. So long, hi from Bogota, Colombia.

[@wombatwombaffle]

This man is gifted in many ways! Great work Paulie! This format really works :)

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

Photography of place over a decade, I love that and being able to look back and see how you took it say 10 years ago. It's not all about people walking into a shaft of light , although that's nice and I do like it and ive done it myself its not all there is on the street.

[@Dwiz26]

Nobody mentioned it…but the shot Andre took at 13:23, making the ladies separate, is what separates the beginners from veterans. Take notes shooters. It may look simple, but that takes YEARS of experience photographing people on the streets, making in-the-moment decisions based on who you’re shooting, not being too aggressive, developing soft skills & new approaches to people, being comfortable with potential altercations, being able to deescalate situations, etc. Finally, ONLY thing left is to have your analog settings ready and maintain your cool through it all enough to take the shot 😮‍💨

[@ioegreer]

incredible

[@KilozMedia]

ITS ALWAYS RIGHT NOW! great message!

[@alfredoziano]

Been doing street seriously for about a year now, but I have to say that I’m tired of people on their phones everywhere, I feel like documenting zombies, but anyway, love this series it’s the best ! Keep them coming, thanks !

[@StephenAttongPhoto]

Loved this episode. That 'It's Always Right Now' mantra is definitely something I'm gonna try to implement!

[@allendrexel7622]

Best episode yet! So many great insights and gorgeous images from Andre. Congrats on this, and thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Hipster_In_Denial]

This man is really gifted. Great eye, great presence. Love his photos. Thank you making yet another wonderful video, Paulie B 🌞

[@crlclssic]

Yooooo one of my favo photographers ever, such a cool guy with a great mind and eye

[@duskiemedia]

I agree! These videos are the greatest. It's hysterical I am in the city all the time and never noticed anyone taking photos until I watched these videos. Now I catch all these random street photographers. Paulie you must be super stealth since I never see you! Thanks for the content !

[@insk0r]

The goat 🐐 so inspiring! Thanks for this video and keep up the series! Love to watch all of them 😊

[@gregh2322]

Andre is so cool and real. Wishing him great success with his photography.

[@thecloofer1255]

Beautiful work by Dre. A lot of folks from NYC feel very protective of our authenticity. He definitely portrays that beautifully. Also, this channel is extremely underrated. Deserves way more followers.

[@leedeleon2745]

This needs the big screen and some quality coffee

[@thordibrasil5388]

Extended Version would be AMAZING.

[@adammurray9940]

Procrastination is my worst habit. “It’s always right now”. Going to keep that in mind.

[@CraigHackey]

Love this brotha! Always a positive and inspiring perspective!

[@Angelo.Partemi]

Such an incredible and insightful episode! Amazing job on this edit as well. By far the best series on YT!!

[@nathanhirschler5043]

so good. we need that extended cut asap.

[@Mel-95]

Thanks for having Andre on. Such a nice guy. Great body of work emerged from his perspective on the street. Good questions -- Andre's responses made me think.

[@TheCadocas]

Honestly my favourite show in KZbin. Thank you for doing these.

[@RamonBrito]

I really appreciate that you get people from your community to speak about their experience this is very helpful to further understand the artist's vision and how they see the world through photography. Dre is a phenomenal photographer we all know that but I really appreciate this video because you get to see his raw side when he's in the moment thank you for sharing cheers.

[@seand67]

Great episode. I regret not buying Andre's photography book. Wish it was made available again

[@luke_baillie]

Haven't even watched it yet and I already know it'll be a classic.

[@jordhon]

Man. This is already legendary. One of my favourite photographers. Endless inspiration in everything Andre does and how it approaches our craft. Picking up my camera and heading out NOW

[@drewcigna8197]

one of the best from my generation! love his outlook on life and photography.

[@laurencetaylor1092]

Chris Killip - a great recommendation, saw his work at the Photographers Gallery in London recently. Incredible!

[@allen_snapped]

He kicked so much knowledge. Amazing video. Thank you both.

[@ralphstark9961]

Photographing buildings and construction is important. Manhattan, Brooklynn and and the Bronx are being torn down and replaced with soulless glass towers, what we know of as the city will soon be gone. Also, I love the snow photographs, its the NY no one thinks about. I also think you nailed the phone culture. Nice work!

[@tatianajones7387]

His pictures are beautiful this is a dope KZbin channel I’m So happy I subscribed 📷📷🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@deandavey1498]

Discovered this series on 25th December and been watching non stop Best Christmas present ever! Love Love

[@tyronepetrie]

Dope work…. And dropped 4 books to check out! 🔥🔥👍🏾✊🏾✊🏾. Sub’d!

[@masterpeace925]

Such a huge inspiration , lovely to hear his perspective and his passion come through. Thank you to the both of you.

[@impiccable1375]

Such a great video. Thanks a million for shining a spotlight on this allround class act. I'm gonna dive into his work and soak up more inspiration from him, having been tremendously inspired by your walkie-talkie with him.And yes, I would definitely love to see the extended version of this video. Keep up the great work and all the best all the way from Amsterdam.

[@DreadinNY]

So many things I like about this. His energy is dope. It takes balls to just snap randoms. At least he has a small, inconspicuous film camera. My Canon is a monster and you can definitely tell when I'm taking a picture 🤣. He definitely has passion. I respect that.

[@matawantspeace]

This is my favorite one so far... Andre, you're the man.

[@drmc93]

Paulie B always delivers. Thanks for this one, got a lot to take away.

[@MoghulVeyron]

The episode I didn't know I was waiting for

[@roynewport5397]

I'm addicted to my phone but for the last 5 years of street photography everyday with out fail for at least 4 hours I never take my phone.

[@3shibuyallc486]

awesome video!! great visuals and spitting mad game about photography. much love!! happy new year :)

[@laineb123]

This was a master class in an artistic mentality! So much truth! I needed to hear it.

[@raemonddieterarizala]

"Life is always right now" let that line alone stick to us everydayuj

[@julioaires6403]

Walkie Talkie is the best photography series that I follow from the beginning thanks for sharing have a nice week and good creations a hug from Porto, Portugal

[@dingo3718]

Loving the walkie talkies,,, His images are class , based on the people within the city, it's people first in this man's community.

[@aramdavid]

I love that Andre Wagner is recommending Stolen Focus... what a great book. My phone and social media usage has dropped 90% after reading that book.

[@dardis1745]

I really loved the interview! thanks for posting! i remember following him since his tumblr days Andre Wagner is dope.

[@GoldenThreads1]

Crazy spotting Erin and Leah at 8:10 Incredibly charming sisters and models. Albeit in their natural habitat haha

[@RMF.Studio]

You're doing a great service with this series, Paulie. I appreciate you.

[@caseythreephoto]

I love how he mentions reading Stolen Focus -- I read that earlier this year. Complete game changer for me!! Highly recommended!

[@5seadog]

Loved this. Andre is inspiration. I've been binge watchin; this is the best so far. Thanks.

[@milesaway9367]

One of my favorite Walkie Talkie episodes. Andre is an super inspiring character! Does anyone know by any chance what camera he uses?

[@adrienchester]

he use here a Leica MP (maybe 'a la carte version' because no engraving on the top plate) + summicron 28mm Asph. V2 + Zeiss extra viewfinder 28/21mm

[@sneakn]

New York is definitely the Mecca of street photography...

[@marcfootman2766]

I’ve been waiting for this one for some time. Great video, I could have watched him talk all day 👍. Paulie should make a new version of Cheryl Dunn’s “Everbody Street”.

[@Bokotic]

Eladio Carrion it´s killing it with the pictures

[@flymrjones]

First intro to your channel. Good stuff man. Very inspirational just to pick up the camera and shoot. I can do that anywhere and Andre explained it perfectly. I do think shooting on a movie set would still be dope though!

[@grahamgphoto]

Andre’s work is amazing! One of my favorite photographers

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Excellent video man. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed his philosophy.

[@theluxlyfe]

Thank you! Simple and short. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
