A world without Street Photography?

[@MikeChudley]

This is wonderful. Great chat.

[@frame-lines]

Cheers Mike!

What a great conversation with a really genuine, honest photographer. Kudos to Framelines for pulling this off. I always view street photography as an essential part of history. It truly captures moments in time (obviously) we see the fashions, the hairstyles and the streetscape which is really important to future generations providing them context of the times before they were born. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Alan. I really appreciate that. We’ve worked with Janet on the magazine a year ago and it’s been a highlight for us. Hopefully we can do something else in the future.

[@peterjoseph3839]

👌👍🔝💯📸 Great interview! Janet’s photos are so vivid and inspiring!

[@nelson.arguello]

What a great conversation with Janet! Her thoughts are so honest and you can see that they come from a deep love for photography, which I think should be the driving force of every photographer. Thanks for sharing!

[@frame-lines]

A deep love of photography and a deep love of people and society. She’s the best.

[@samwebb585]

I struggle with some photographers and artists - they can come across self interested and so on. Janet is the polar opposite of that! Thanks so much for introducing her work to me, and for sharing this.

[@frame-lines]

So true! That’s one of the incredible things about talking to photographers like Janet and Sage Sohier. There’s very little BS.

[@gharrop1]

What a great ,enthusiastic lady and such a good photographer. This is possibly one of the best vindication conversations I have seen about the validity and value of capturing social images, fragments and moments in time of our society and fellow time travelers …some times called street photography…

[@frame-lines]

I think Janet communicates brilliantly what’s necessary about documentary and street photography. If we lose it, then what do we have? Marketing images?

[@ChristineWilsonPhotography]

Love Janet's work , I'm excited to have found her , such a great inspiration, love the front cover shot of Janet's

[@kucken64]

Such a great video. Janet is my fave feature you’ve ever had in framelines so really cool to see her talk about her work and her process.

[@berzerkrobot]

What she's done and continues to do I was was only made aware of because of what you guys are doing at Framelines. You are all outstanding and inspiring!

[@L.Spencer]

Her photos as a family album for her city, I love that! That's how I feel when I go out and meet people and take pictures. I love when people show interest, I'm always happy to send them their picture. I've noticed that a photo by itself may not be outstanding, but putting them together in a book gives it an importance. It captures the vibe of the area and shines a light on ordinary life. Great interview, thank you!

[@devlincook5741]

Amazing interview and some beautiful work! And thanks for not being afraid to ask about the gear! I think it’s ridiculous that everyone feels like they should apologize for talking about it, the camera is such an intrinsic part of the process and we all love them! Not surprising that many of our favorite photographers had life long relationships with specific brands/models of camera.

[@frame-lines]

It’s clear as day that Janet loves her Rolleiflex that she’s been using for decades so I had to ask :) They’re such unique cameras and it’s great to hear from someone that’s used one as a workhorse for major projects.

[@hillhurst_production]

'Photographing from your solar plexus' - brilliant. Loved this, Shane - nice one!

[@stevenkennell2890]

Great work Shane - Really enjoyed the chat, and could listen to you both talk for hours...

[@nolawernicke9078]

Thankyou for posting this, Janet's work is awesome.

[@frame-lines]

Isn’t it just? Her attitude too.

[@gentlefoo]

this was amazing! i only wish it was longer 😢

[@JosephBayot]

Thanks so much for this! Janet Delaney's work is wonderful, and I always enjoy hearing her discuss her process and practice.

[@frame-lines]

Glad you liked it Joseph!

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

thank you for the effort and sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. your work moves the subject forward. BIG thumbs up.

[@frame-lines]

Ah thank you so much. That's a lovely thing to say :)

[@tonydesarzec907]

Marvellous interview! Thank you.

[@frame-lines]

Thanks Tony!

[@wylie_photo]

What a great interview, I really liked her comment about her images being a photo album of her city.

[@frame-lines]

I really liked that comment too. Such great insight.

[@kristoffergo6294]

The colors and composition of her photos is just amazing!

[@frame-lines]

Aren’t they so good? They looked great in our feature within the magazine.

[@danielcowdrill]

Excellent interview! Enjoyed listening.

[@michaelplaice6926]

Lovely relaxed chat with Janet. Really liked her thoughts on the extended relationship created with fleeting moments and strangers by the act of photographing them. A very affirming interview for any street photographer.

[@frame-lines]

Thanks Michael. There's a lot of positivity to take from this, and I think we could do with it right now.

[@gisele6961]

Really enjoyed this. Janet's work is great and it was nice to hear her views. I wish Red Eye was available for less than $200 here. Going to keep it on my wish list!

[@TyeMorrisVlog]

10:14 I have that same Yashica, i picked it up years ago at an antique store. The owner dosage any idea what they had and likely didn’t bother to look it up. They were under the impression that it was broken but I’ve been able to run several rolls through it. Great little workhorse!

[@frame-lines]

I picked mine up in a market back in Ireland about 10 years ago. It’s still running fine and even the meter is still working :)

[@DennisCostello-l7e]

Another great episode. An actually illuminating and informative interview with a photographer who’s the real deal.- too much of what passes for street photography today is just a sort of glib art direction- “That yellow storefront would look great if I wait for someone with a red hat and green jacket to cross in front of it”. The human beings in Delaney’s work never feel like props; the images never come across as crude analog approximations of an insipid AI prompt. Could’ve listened to a full hour of this. Only wish there was a little more technical talk- what film stock did she use then vs now? Is she shooting something in addition to the Rollei these days? You and Josh; keep up the good work!

[@frame-lines]

‘Never feel like props’ - that’s a great way of putting it. There’s a fascination lately with constructing an image in a way that makes the photographer seem clever-- whereas Janet is connecting to the people around her. Showing an interest in their lives and behaviour. I think street photographers have a lot to learn from documentary photographers.

[@musicswede1]

I love listening to these photographers. All about the craft, the moment and whats in the viewfinder.

[@frame-lines]

Thanks man. I’m glad you liked it. I’d recommend checking out her feature in our mag or picking up a book of hers. Her photos look so good printed.

[@tomsharman]

thanks for this guys, i'm now inspired.

[@frame-lines]

Great to hear!

[@timjamiesonphotos]

Really enjoyed this 🙏🏻

[@frame-lines]

Awesome, thank you!

[@TheNitebinder]

Enjoyed your interview with street photographer Janet Delaney. From her conversation, I learned how other photographers should be creating memorable street images. Don't one and done, but work on a project or a theme. Photographing demonstrations, street performers, people wearing outlandish suits or dresses. Learn how to express yourself.

[@frame-lines]

That’s key isn’t it? Why do it at all if you’re not expressing yourself?

[@bjornelenfors2039]

Wonderful discussion!

[@frame-lines]

Thanks Bjorn. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@popularbehaviour]

Inspiring!👏👏👏

[@412foto]

Kind of agree too about her point of street photography being harder. I was just in chicago...just wasn't a lot of interesting people or things happening...sure that was just partially the grind of the work and having limited time. and there is something to the idea of being in a zone that hones the eye over weeks of effort. but everyone with a phone in their hand and face constantly does make it more challenging

[@simonbennettalbertst]

"Acknowledging strangers as part of the community" immediately strikes me as an important part of street photography

[@timcooper3001]

She's a lovely speaker

[@frame-lines]

It was lovely to chat to her

[@gradypicinich2404]

That's a beautiful idea that street photography is like your city's family photo album

[@frame-lines]

Isn't it? There's so much more to street photography than trying to make images that play with composition, juxtaposition or clever elements. There's a heart in it too - which Janet communicates wonderfully.

Love her. She's great.

[@DanielLoveReel]

Delightful.

[@paulolden4337]

Great interview and informative. One thing you should know; when you drop names of famous photographers, you must pronounce their names correctly. It's DEE-Ann Arbus. Not DYE-Ann. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

[@Francois_L_7933]

A world without street photography: welcome to the Province of Quebec (Canada) since 1998. That's what we live with after photographer Gilbert Duclos and the magazine he worked for got sued. Now, unless it makes the news or concerns a public figure, the street if pretty much off limits.

[@frame-lines]

I did not know that. There was a similar court case in New York involving Philip Lorca DiCorcia, which he won (at great personal expense). I often wonder what would have happened if DiCorcia lost that case.

[@AI-Hallucination]

No such thing as street photography according to Garry Winogrand anyway
