- AARON BERGER is a person who likes to get extremely good at things. His various dedications have made him a competitor at soccer, online poker, and for the last decade; street photography. His regimented approach to taking photos involves never missing a long day of roaming the streets, often developing the film himself, the same day. This has paid off, not only by progressing his craft, but also gaining the eye of both publishers and a hungry fanbase. His soft-spoken demeanor is an almost humorous juxtaposition to his checkered job resume but don’t be fooled, he’s always paying attention and will pounce at the opportunity to get the shot he needs.
In this episode, we cruise the outskirts of Herald Square, chasing the light before his Leica (sans flash) runs out of decent daylight. He explains why he doesn’t like using the flash but doesn’t at all mind others doing so. He tells us why he's often not interested in long conversations about photography and why he'd simply rather be out doing it. We get to see him do just that and turns out he has more to say than maybe he even thought.
Music By: Daniel Kramer
Filmed: 08/2018 in NYC

WRONG SIDE OF THE LENS is a documentary series exploring the lives of street photographers. Here, we get a rare chance to turn the camera on those not used to on that side of the lens. We begin to answer the question of why they are so obsession with taking images of complete strangers. They come from a variety of backgrounds yet are drawn to this same calling; street photo. This is a relatively new and, often misunderstood art form, which leaves ample room for these hard working artists to push boundaries. This series captures many of these moments.
Thanks everyone for watching Wrong Side Of The Lens and for all the positive, productive conversations here! If you'd like to support these artists and this channel, please buy their books, prints, zines, etc and to help WSOTL continue, visit www.wrongsideofthelens.com/support
Consider yourself lucky to get a rare, in motion, skate shot of the NYC legend, Gonz.
I came here to say the same thing. I wonder sometimes how many people have unknowingly photographed of Gonz in the streets. There must be loads of unseen photos out there.
the editing/transitions in this are so good i love when u cut to a shot that Aaron took and then you have like a second of music before it cuts off abruptly...you have a new fan and subscriber my man
Thank you!! It's so much fun to make these from top to bottom.
Thanks for these videos, they are helping me reafirm my desire to go out these days
What a great series. It was such a shame when Aaron said "At this point, the day would typically end" as it such an interesting watch, I could have easily have watched more - and seen more of his work.
10:00 I think it's more than a photograph for photographers. There's life struggle in it and the dove flying of make it somehow spiritual. Like the holy ghost looked over the person in distress or something...
Check out Paulie B's recent video with him, the Ricoh GRIII totally reinspired him to get back into street photography hard. He just walks and shoots with such a great eye and energy. I love this series as a study of known to me and new to me. Thank you so much for all of these videos.
Appreciate that my friend.
9:04 Taking a photo with a woman's face in the small frame of the phone case, would be a great one.
Always a pleasure hearing Aaron talk about photography, great video! Thankful that this came sliding across my recommended feed
Great dude that one
Great episode. Thanks!
Great video. Love hearing Aaron talk.
Thx you!! Aaron is a good one.
I love Aaron's perspective on photography!
Idem, j' aurais pu m' approprier nombre de ses réflexions, travaillant moi-même dans un état d' esprit équivalent....
So Strong personality. Amazing outcome
Thank you
my pleasure
Inspirational. What microphone do you use on your photographers?
What is the song playing in this episode?
What a dude!
aaron whats your most fav on the street you have shot...i see many but yours?
Love this channel!
thx you! Spread the word!
@@WSOTL Yeah i will! It can be a bit hard to get a youtube channel going but the quality is great. Im going to binge watch all the videos today and tomorrow.
I absolutely love seeing street photographers in action and talking about their work. I allways get so motivated from it so thank you!
It's magical isn't?
@@alissong. Yeah good street photography content is allways gold!
Ray is the real deal.
wow
12:47 Such a miss. It happens to me as well when I'm stuck in my thoughts. And then it reminds me to be focused in the present moment.
I thought the same ;)
I don’t think it’s his style. In the walkie talkie episode, he talks about how if something is "screaming for it to be photographed" the he’s probably not interested.
@@jackshephard2044 Well, it is all about a good taste. If it screams to be photographed, but it still very interesting, than you just have to do it.
grande Aaron

On the cutting edge. 😉😉
Was it recorded a long time ago? Or Am I tripping?
Yeah. These were recorded in 2018 and 2019 but finished and released just now
I was wondering this too! Thanks for asking, @alissong, and thanks for answering,@@WSOTL
I wonder why he didn't finish editing these very good photos - dirt removal (scanner apparently didn't do a great job), glares (shooting scene) etc.
I'd say second to Daniel Arnold but still a beast
Random Gonz photo
Yeah, I wondered if anyone on the production realized that he captured a significant cultural person of interest.
the day ends cause you have to shoot at f/2.8 1/125th of a second exposure :( Interesting person with great habits.
Feels like one day Aaron Berger is just going to fade away and move onto something else, hope not.
