    The Mexico City Subway is nothing like how the New York City Subway was in the 1980s, but as a tourist living in Mexico City, I do feel a bit misplaced and on guard - same as what Bruce Davidson felt when he documented the NYC Subway.
    If you have a recommendation for which photo book I should base my next photo walk on, just comment below! And I must say, this is not the last time I’m doing my street photography in the Mexico Metro Station.

    Respect for this one Fred!! Most people don't even make eye contact with strangers on the subway. Here you are making a whole video hahaha. That takes courage, and the photos were well worth it!

    • @FTrovatten

      Maybe in other subways... in Mexico City's metro, people DO make eye contact (and sadly other types of contact as well).

  • @RodrigoVazquez91

    Excellent video, I'm a Mexico City citizen, and let me tell you something, it's actually impressive how they let you take pictures inside the subway. Police guards from the subway here in Mexico City can be really aggressive if they see you holding a camera, or a camcorder. I remember this one time I was in the subway, I was testing a 50mm lens I had bought for my DSLR, I wasn't even taking pictures, I was just mounting the lens to my DSLR body, in a matter of seconds a police guard noticed me holding the camera, all of a sudden there were 2 of them, they told me that any kind of photography was forbidden inside the subway, and they asked me to delete every picture I had taken, I told them I wasn't taking pictures, my camera didn't even have an SD card inside. They let me go at the end, but it clearly seemed they were actually annoyed.

  • @geoffkeogh5848
    @geoffkeogh5848 Před 4 lety +1

    This is wonderful Frederik. Forget about incorporating flash. Your video shows that the best 'equipment' for street photography is openness and empathy. I'm not sure how much they can be learnt but the take-away for me is to embrace the interactions rather than fearing them (easier said than done). You can't capture what you don't love!

  • @medicenmanis
    @medicenmanis Před rokem

    Im from Mexico, and I´m a photographer as well. Seeing this video made me so nostalgic for my city, I´m living abroad now, and getting to watch the look from people was so amazing, the emotion of every photo, made me cry. They are so beautiful.

  • @mickhursey4201
    @mickhursey4201 Před 4 lety +4

    I had fallen out of love with photography for many different reasons. Then completely accidentally, I stumbled across a video of you being interviewed - not sure how, as I was looking at New Orleans Jazz music videos at the time - anyhow, there is something about your unassuming approach that had me hooked and this, only the second of your videos I have watched, has been equally rewarding. Thanks for renewing my interest, I might even get my cameras out again.

  • @sopranomusingsphotography3077

    These photos are incredible! I am still finding my balance when it comes to taking photos of strangers, but whoa! These photos give me lots of inspiration towards my goal of street photography (doubt I'll ever be able to take photos of someone on a subway). And though I find your photos to be inspiring, your commentary throughout was upsetting and does raise a few questions.

  • @snapsnapspencer2248
    @snapsnapspencer2248 Před rokem

    Well I am way late to this party as you did this video over 2 years ago but I love this and the connection you have with the people in the subway through the shots. I have always loved how people are sort of suspended and put on pause when they rush onto the train.... wait still and almost motionless and then burst into action again as the doors open and they race off. You seem to have captured them so well in that suspended moment. I do not know Bruce Davidson's work and will be investigating more. Thank you for doing this video and the others in the 'Take Photos Like' series. I am loving the inspiration I am getting from them.
