Lovely! But the music obscures his sometimes soft voice. The levels need adjusting.

[@mmh53]

I agree the music is way too loud to understand him properly, how he deserves to be understood.

[@rubenvega_]

He is the best! To bad you put the music so loud !

[@corenecipolletti2238]

Chris Killip captured the human condition in his photographs and they bring sadness and joy to all...so beautiful!

[@paulvallance4347]

Wonderful photographer and lovely compassionate man. The anecdote about his father in the bar is very moving.

[@josephomalley1526]

Bless you Chris (Passed away 13th October 2020).

[@hewhotellsastory]

Yeah, sad loss but an amazing photographer by all accounts.

[@stevegodsell]

Fabulous video and great interview. Shame about the music drowning out the conversation, unnecessary.

[@danodonnell9325]

This was so lovely and uplifting. Thank you.

[@149jimbo]

Can't hear a word this man is saying because of the annoying music in the foreground.

[@shanthoshravikumar5937]

music too overpowering. timed well but should have turned the volume down lol

[@bobchapeau6806]

Beautiful. Except for the music.

[@owenwilliams9582]

What a lovely man and a inspirational photographer, thanks.

[@fparraolmedo]

please , make a new edition without music.

[@aboutphotography]

Beautiful!

[@sosijiz1971]

"I'm not interested in being cynical, I'm interested in being..." What???? SHITTYMUSIC ARGHHHHHHHH. For the love on God, do this video again please.

[@allantitmuss5627]

Lovely, but for the sound. There are misheard/misunderstood subtitles, "I got kicked out of school aged 64" sets the bar, then 'My own Ricardian resin' for 'Henri Cartier Bresson'.

[@redwingblackbirdnell]

Leaves a sort of scar, remembered as though lived then, with indelible sorrow, loss, struggle and hopeful rise, a gathering again of wildflowers.

[@alanreid208]

Great photographer, great video. But I had to keep playing it over to try and catch what he was saying through the unnecessary music.

[@absonus]

Music too loud . Couldn`t hear him .

[@Jason-Scott]

RIP 🙌🏻

[@ViaOjo]

Beautiful

[@Juno_Doran]

I love his work but sadly I can hardly understand him with that awful loud music!

[@rembeadgc]

Exquisite.

[@robnelson7098]

beautiful

[@hollowaysteve]

Always been a fan of his photographs but never seen/heard him interviewed before. He appears to have been a lovely man. A shame he’s gone. I have to concur with the comments on the music; not needed and way too loud. I had to re watch three times to catch everything Chris was saying. Whoever made this was more interested in the music than the man it would appear.

[@alex68vg]

Whoever made the film just made a bit of an error with the sound, thats all...why would they make this if they werent interested in the man? Daft thing to say.

[@gohumberto]

Who mixed the audio on this? Turn the music down in future. Otherwise it was a good interview (what I could hear).

[@MicheleSibiloni]

Whata torture this music, can't hear anything !

[@slimnics]

what did he say at the end? I'm interested in being......?

[@SteidlPublishers]

He said, "I’m not interested in being cynical. I’m interested in being empathetic.“

[@tofulosophy]

I replayed that last part 3 times and still couldn't figure it out due to the music.

[@davidhoffman3673]

Lovely interview. Pity about the rubbish music.

[@JasonBatterham]

Sound mixing is terrible, can hardly hear a word he’s saying.

[@frankgeck8866]

Ohne die dämliche Musik würde man ihn sehr viel besser verstehen
