“Carrying a camera with intent makes you attuned to everything in the world”
What a quote!
This one really resonated with me. Great video, so much great advice from an exceptional streetphotographer.
My girlfriend and I literally paused the video on this moment and talked for like 20 minutes… when I came back (after my Ted Talk, of course) to restart the video, I noticed your comment. Such a good take.
Something she said that really resonated with me, “I want the photo more then I fear the consequences.” I can totally empathize with this.
A good picture is always worth a row.
I have a phobia for deep water. Dont know how to swim. But once decided to take photos underwater. Used scuba diving tools, got a 20 minutes training and then I was diving into a sink hole 15 meter deep taking stunning pictures without for a single second thinking in anything else.
When i got out i realized the thing i just did i almost passed out for the terror. But i did it again like 3 or 4 times in different days. Fear dissapears when passion is on your side.
@@TheGoodContent37 Great feeling. "Did I really just do that?" Then being more ecouraged to just take a deap breath and have a go. Cheers
So true, but stay away from cliffs pls
So much more difficult to try this in Latin America. It’s been tough but a good challenge
This is by far the best Walkie Talkie to date. An incredible street photographer with so much good advice.
I don’t watch all of these but feel this is one of the best about Street Photog vids I have seen.
Yes! I concur. Super good! She seems so down to earth.
@@MKWHD well, you need to put in at least 10 years in a profession to be good. and she has been doing it for 10 years. so, she's a professional street photographer, not a CZcams presenter sitting behind the desk and talking about cameras.
Definitely 💯
I don’t think so but great video
Adding to the chorus - She is the REAL DEAL. I love that you're showing someone who isn't twenty-something and that you can shoot something other than Leica and film (I know that's an exaggeration, but an AWFUL lot of young street photographers seem to be doing this) - mind you she is sporting a six thousand dollar camera, so it's not like "digicam love." The bottom line is that she is an AMAZING teacher and her work is as good as anything out there. So many fantastic images. She should be on the faculty of some college inspiring young photographers. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.
@Adrian-wd4rn mea culpa! Although to some of us here, you're still young in your thirties. 🙂 And to his credit Paulie had showcased other older photographers... although most of those shoot Leicas as well...(not all!) Happy shooting!
People born in the film era all switched to digital and all people born in the digital era switched to film. Go figure.
@@stratocactus Your images are good or bad. Film doesn’t teach you that.
I have no idea why they're so insistent on shooting street with film and a Leica too. Not only is the camera expensive (and most of them look broke), shooting streets with film is a massive expense given the rate of failure with street photography. To be clear, I've done both digital and film, have expensive analog cameras and develop my own film too. Unlike some other photography genres where the medium is just a matter of stylistic choice, digital is simply better for street photography.
@@stratocactus It's not really true that film teaches you more than digital, it's just that digital eggs you to shoot more and reflect on what you're doing less. You could just shoot a Nikon FE in auto mode and come out of the process none the wiser.
"Pay attention like a child, because there's no real hierarchy. They're looking at everything, because the world is fascinating." Love this.
Thanks for doing these, bro!
Melissa is spitting facts! Street photography feels exactly like meditation when I’m doing it. It’s the ultimate feeling of being in the moment with the world. There’s a reason why walking meditation is very much a part of a zen/meditation practice. Taking photos is the only thing I’ve experienced that comes close to it.
Agree 100%👌✨
calm down
Dude this was so good, 38 minutes just flew what an awesome guest Melissa was.
Agree 100% - I could have watched two or three hours of this! A very talented lady.
As a male photographer I can tell you now, I never take photos of kids. It's not worth the risk. Too many people out there ready to label you as something horrible. I stick to building, reflectives, architecture and nature. I prefer the simple life.
I'm a middle aged man and I take loads of photos of kids. My intent isn't anything bad obviously and I think it shows in the way I hold myself when I shoot.
Agree with the replier here you shouldn't have to have that kinda fear
Yup! Last thing I want is for someone to scream out PEDOPHILE!
@philt_uk you're missing the whole point 😂

"Most photographer are driven by a profound sense of optimism... maybe that's why we like each other so much!" TRUE
Her wisdom, grace, and emotional intelligence is magical.
Not only is Melissa a great street street photographer, and someone that can articulate profound distinctions of shooting, but she is genuinely a nice and sweet person to meet in person. Paulie, I'm so glad that you take the time and energy to make these videos and share they with us.
Loving seeing these videos of female photographers. Every one has been fantastic 👏🏻 Melissa’s work is exceptionally good
Having now fully watched the video, I’d like to commend Melissa's lucid thought process and eloquence in verbalising those thoughts. Your skill in conducting interviews while on the move is really impressive too 👍🏻
Best episode ever. Nice to see someone with a different style and less concerned w trends rather than just getting good shots. The mother daughter book store shot is great, you can see Joel’s influence in her eye👍🏻
As a new photographer just getting into the art, this is insanely inspiring
By far the best walkie talkie episode. She is the real deal and it showed.
This guy catching GREAT moments in the background without intending to. NYC is a unique place. Thank you for the walkie talkie!
Melissa's perspective on optimism being the life blood of photographers is so accurate. She is an absolute wealth of knowledge and a damn good photographer.
This is the MUST watch street photpgraphy content on CZcams. Love this series! Makes me want to leave work, grab my camera and hit the streets!
I love her vocabulary. She's articulate with words as well as with photos.
That’s the way everyone used to speak.
Paulie, thank you for this series. These videos are historic and will continue to inspire for many years to come!
Your walkie talkies are pure gold, all of them. Thank you so much.
Love these! I always take something away from each one. Enjoy how candidly these photographers share.
Wow this is one of my favorites from this series so far. Her personality glows and so do her photos. Fantastic.
Love seeing videos showcasing real New Yorkers in a great light. Loves this video, Thank You.
I am in awe of this lady. What a wonderful wonderful episode.
Mate, these walks talkies are at the top of my must view list. I’m learning a heap and it’s good to hear from so many different voices.
Only 2 minutes in and already love her attitude, wisdom and images! Great video!
A lot of good wisdom here -- would love to see more Walkie Talkies with older street photographers. Can we get Matt Weber? Also great Daniel Arnold cameo at the end there
Ive seen every episode multiple times, and this is by far one of my faves! Great work!👏🏻❤️
One of your best episodes yet! What a great person, so much insight and wise takes.
What an interview! So much wisdom just casually dropped. I gotta watch this again!
I have my first photo walk with a bunch of people coming up in about an hour. I’ve been binging these videos. Thanks so much for these.
I cannot tell you how helpful this interview was. Thank you and thank you Melissa!
Excellent feature. I've loved watching MIssy's work for years. Always fun to run into her on the street and she has a lot of wisdom to share.
I love her candidness about her work
Thank you for continuing this series. Street was my first love and these discussions really help me stay open and excited about photography.
Super inspiring video, love Melissa’s take on the streets
Incredibly inspirational. So delightful to realize that there are still some true humanist around. Thank you both for sharing

Absolutely love this. Hearing that someone so talented was shy to start off with gives me hope that I can overcome that boundary
My new favorite, everything from what she says to how she expresses herself, and the photographs, amazing, great episode!
I’ve only been shooting for a year and a half and this was some of the most inspiring advice I’ve ever seen. So many great quotes and cool life stories!

One of your best interviews. She spoke and we listened.
Just amazed at how fantastic Melissa's dialogue, creative insight and wisdom are in this WT episode. Thanks you guys!
An awesome doc vid. Thanks so much for the inspiration, and thanks so much to Melissa O Shaughnessy for being such a great photographer with a great ability to talk about her work in detail.
i just want to thank you for putting these up man. shedding light on people who are putting in the work and have some serious insight. she is a great photographer, surgical precision with that sony.
the energy in these walkie talkies is at an all time high
This serie does not stop getting better !
Thank you Paul for those videos, now I'm gonna take my camera and go roam the streets.
Fantastic, enjoyed every minute. Walkie Talkie is the best series on YT currently. Keep up the great work Paulie.
Truly enjoyed this ladies company, great work and everything else
Best one yet!! So much inspiring advice and wisdom.
Man this video makes me so happy. Love Melissa's perspective and this generally just makes me miss the shit out of NY 💖
By far the the most inspiring and insightful commentary into street photography I have ever heard! Thank you and greetings from 🇨🇦
One of the best Talkies. Vibe/energy of a mom/auntie but dropping straight photography GEMS. Lol
The best Walkie Talkie to date. This one’s an online educational course unto itself. You’re doing such a great service to the entire street photography community (and the genre). Thanks Paulie B.
What a wonderful personality Melissa has. Very informative and inspiring. I am also 62 so this resonates a lot with me. Great video Paulie.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you for making this. As someone who tries to take photos in the streets of New York this was equally inspiring, educational and sobering. Melissa is incredible at capturing this city.
For me, this channel is akin to a museum gallery. So much inspiration flowing and ebbing throughout, that it is impossible not to be inspired from it all. So for that, I give you many a thank you.
Keep doing what you do, it's so important to the art and craft of not only street photography but photography in itself.
What an artist she is! Thank you for sharing. Melissa has gained a new fan. :)
I love the remark about warming up your shutter finger. I loved the advice and remarks from Joel Meyerwitz that she shared. The whole episode was lovely!!! I'm looking forward to watching it again. This was fantastic!!!!
fuck yeah paulie, this series is so so fire dude. honestly some of the best photography content on the platform. every episode is filled with so many lessons and tid bits of invaluable industry knowledge.
Every single sentence is a profound sense of considered wisdom and her photos are world class.
This is one of the best interviews like this I’ve seen of any Street Photographer. Melissa was able to express so passionately and eloquently the nature and beauty of street
What a great video! thank you so much Melissa and Paulie
Amazing work. Love how close she gets! Pure courage and incredible art she produces.
What an excellent person. I always loved her pics and now I also enjoy her personality after this interview. I have a great appreciation for this series :)
This Walkie Talkie is just freaking good. The talk, the light, the sound, just everything says - take me there, I want to walk there with a camera!
LOVE when you have veteran photographers on the channel, it really helps people (like myself) get a different perspective and gives us much needed advice!
Solid talkie. So much insight + inspiration. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
OH how happy am I to see women photographers! I love her!
Today is a day I learned a lot about why and how I do what I do when I roam the streets with a camera. thank you for putting it into words.
