Eight Street Photographers explain their work

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.

That is beautiful form of art " Capturing and immortalizing Life ! "

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!

Beautiful hobby we have! Fantastic Episode! Well done!

Great Documentary! Very Interesting! Thumbs Up!

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.

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.

📷 Street photography is an oversimplified term. In the age of social media, it is often misunderstood and misused by new and TikTok photographers.

[@PhishedOff]

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

[@phrasalsyntax]

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.

American sander is good product…I don’t own or use the drum sander, super awkward. I like the buffer with satellite attachment. I have a terrible time with the edger and basically use an orbital palm sander in its place. I own a square buff. But don’t use it because it’s so heavy, I can’t move it. Simply use a drywall sanding pole to sand between coats…Long story….almost everyone has a different way they do this.

[@mattwu7884]

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.

[@robertmeredith5905]

@@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.

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

[@ffll8427]

Don't try this in Germany though ...

[@miriamzajfman4305]

Why ???

[@ffll8427]

@@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.

[@miriamzajfman4305]

@@ffll8427 Oh now I see

[@IIIYarIII]

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.

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.

[@enginlofca]

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.

[@slomorenga]

I find it extremely disrespectful and problematic when people fotograph my childeren without my permission as seen in 35:52. Please stop doing that.

[@myownprivateglasgow280]

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 ;)

[@Michelle_Wellbeck]

Doing this is illegal in Germany!

[@ii_yuki7978]

[@MisterArgos]

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.

[@vertigo1396]

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👀
