His photos are insanely good
I know right after 2-3 photo drops here I instantly went to his instagram
One of the best on this channel I’ve seen, and like everyone is amazing.
This guy has the best pictures I’ve seen on a Walkie Talkie. Amazing compositions.
Thanks so much for having me on Paulie. It's such an honor! 🎉
Please make videos (pov street photography for example) you’re incredible!!
Billy ... you have a. wonderful keen observing eye. It's a pleasure to see things from your POV, things you notice but most of the world walks by. Also great to hear your way of thinking / approaching things.
Well done, Billy! ❤
Really nice job, Billy!
🐐
He’s only been doing it for 5 years? That’s insane, he’s one of the best. Great ep.
not even full time as well!
Most of the really good photographers have a solid background in some form of visual arts. Photography is ultimately an extension of the visual artistry that has come before it. Billy Dinh’s quick proficiency is yet another example of this.
I couldn’t agree more.
He may not have been a long time photographer but he's been an artist for a long time :) You should check out his illustrations. If you can still find them.
Will do
He is really good. His composition is really good and his pictures have a story. So many NY photographers just take pictures of people walking on the sidewalk and they think it s great street photography. Billy's pics are different. They are relevant and not too crowded.
Billy is THE photgrapher I look up to. Absolutely love his photos, super excited for this episode!
edit: shocked to hear he doesn’t do this full time yet!
Easily one of my favorite photographers right now. Billy's ability to capture a moment and a subject that tells a story is incredible. And to hear he's only been shooting for 5 YEARS?? INSANITY..... great episode.
Besides his amazing work and talent, I love how he really engages with his supporters on social media! So great to see him on your channel!
This was great again Paulie! Billy’s photos are so brilliantly layered, huge fan of his work!
His work is crazy good, the photos are like in the Magnum class standards.
I've watched a bunch of these Walkie Talkie's and by far, Billy Dee has the most jaw dropping photos.
And the matching personnality and consideration for his subjects...
I been following Billydee for a few years, and his photos are amazing! He’s on his own lane. And to see how sweet and humble he is, makes me a bigger fan of his.
Billy Dinh is truly an exceptional talent and an asset to street photography. It's unbelievable what kind of eye he has and how he suddenly takes advantage of the situation. One of the best photographers of our time.
If Billy isn’t full time then there’s no hope for the rest of us! He is the best out there as far as we are concerned. 😍😍😍
Dudes got an outrageous eye
For the people who ask what lens he uses, it is a Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA
Thanks
Amazing lens with a character!
Not the 55mm?
@@Daniel_Ilyich NO, If you compare the size of the Sony Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f2.8 and a 55mm 1.8, you will see the difference. The 35mm is the small lens that he uses in the video.
@@ConstantinA1 Thanks. Any experience with this lens? I'm thinking of getting a 35mm for my Sony for street stuff. Maybe the 35mm 1.8?
Holy shit dudes only been photographing for 5 years and these are one of the best street photos ive ever seen! Also love how confident he is in the way he carries himself and takes photos. I wanna be like that one day
Accidentaly finds this man on the Instagram. One of my favourite street photographers. Good interview. thanks.
Wonder how he edits his photos. Can tell he definitely has a vision for his pictures and works hard to get that across.
He has a 9 to 5 but the fire burns in him to fulfill his passion of recording history, Love it.
5:00 for a shot of Billy Dee in the background of Billy Dee’s walkie talkie. What a coincidence
Oh this guy is LEGIT! Love the photos and the vibes! Not your usual street photographer.
I love how he got balls to just shoot photos of random people without caring about what they think. My favorite photographer since ever.
What a genuine and honest person. I dont like cocky photographers and this guy is the real deal. His photography is very unique and he comes across as a good person.
Thank you Paulie for introducing us to Billy Dinh, "legend" of the future. Only 5 years and he already mastered multilayered compositions, painting with light and he is already level with his 5 favourite "legend" photographers.
By far one of my all time favorite photogs
Some of his photos almost look like paintings such beautiful work
Damn his shots are timed so well
Really cool. The one thing this guy has a leg up on is foreground to background stacking and controlling visual chaos. Photos are so dense and rich. Almost a little overwhelming sometimes, but his subject matter seems to bring it back to curiousity. Hope this guy achieves whatever he desires. Photo book material for sure. I think he is smart to keep his 9-5, because his work is so stylized, I don't think he'd want to take commissioned work on much. Bravo!
I can see the illustration background boiling over! That's a big influence
my favorite photographer plus he lives in my neighborhood :))
Best "genre" I could attach his work to is "Accidental Renaissance"
my most favourite so far in walkie talkie
Man! His work is absolutely brilliant! So humble too. Sure he doesn't shoot film, but the moment he captures are gorgeous. Such an inspiration.
Billy is a legend in the making.
I met Billy Dee randomly one day walking around Chinatown and we got to walking around and talking photography. He such an awesome human and really enjoys what he does! Glad he’s getting a walkie talkie! Billy needs a exhibition asap!
A man carrying Saul Leiter’s legacy great stuff
Whoa. I love his photos but also loved that he had no glib answers to your questions. If he didn't know, he didn't know.
Billy is one of the elite few who has 'the eye' for photography. The man just gets it!
Canadian Photographer here; I totally felt that moment of 'communities who don't support each other' It seems like there's a certain level of gatekeeping, because everyone is afraid of someone else's growth, and they're afraid of that. I just wanna hang out, and shoot with other people, and learn about them, and we're slowly getting some traction there.
Love this Walkie Talkie, and Paulie B, thank you for sharing all of these great artists we might not see without this platform.
These are my favorite photos I’ve seen on Walkie Talkie! Thx for introducing me to them.
Same here.
Can't believe he still has a 9 to 5.
Yesss!! This is the episode I never knew I needed. Been following Billy for quite some time over on Instagram. His photos never fail to stop me mid scroll 🤓.
One of my favourite photographers, love his work, nice to see him on your channel!
Wow, brilliant work. When he revealed his illustrator/graphic arts background the penny dropped. Just superb.
Billy is one of the best photographers who inspires me a lot
Immediate follow! I dig his attitude towards gear, towards engaging people and why he does this respectfully too.
His photos are phenomenal. What a shoots!
I was impressed by his photography!!! He is really much better than a lot of photographers, seen in this channel, that use Leicas just thinking that the M camera will magically produce better pictures. Yes, the tool is important, but at the end, it is the person behind the lens that still makes the difference. Another great Walkie Talkie. Thanks for sharing!
I’ve watched a lot of the walkie talkies and don’t recall anyone saying Leicas will produce better pictures…
That is not what I said. Read again.
@@jlperez67Oh I’m sorry now I realize you were reading their minds. 🙄
Kiss a Leica and be happy! 😆🤣😂
Lets goo, hyped for this one
It's not a documentary, it's a WALKIE TALKIE! 😉👍🏼
Yet another great episode, thanks guys!
Simply the best!
This was pure gold.
One of the best ones so far.
Great work Billy.

Great episode! What a chill dude.
Love Billy's work.
I've been waiting for this moment for an eternity❤❤
This walkie talkie is so inspirational !! Great points ! Such a great photographer!
It's so fun that people swear to analogue, and then this guy comes with his VERY digital camera and does it just as good, if not better! With the prices and this inspiration, I am not giving any more money to the film hustlers ;D
master class
His work is seriously refreshing!
this guy is the best of the best, cant wait to watch this
