Рет қаралды 86,744
2 жыл бұрынWelcome to the 6th installment of my 'Walkie Talkie' series. If you're new here, I walk with a fair amount of photographers here in NYC and like to mic them up to share some of our conversation with you all.
SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you'd like to keep seeing these pop up every week or so.
This video features the always impressive, Jerry Pena. It's a long one, so sit back and enjoy watching Jerry lug around his large format camera & take street portraits in Manhattan.
Show Jerry some love over on his Instagram:

I used to think taking my medium format Rolleiflex out for street photography was a challenge, but this is another level.

Someone should make a digital camera that weighs 8 lbs you can only take one manually focused shot at a time and you have to take a giant cassette out and put a new one in after every shot. Then make a viewfinder so dim it can only be seen on a new moon. It would be the new thing among “proper” street photographers. They would pay $50 a frame to shoot with it, and turn up the snob button on anybody using a roll of 32.

Very entertaining and informative. You have the process nailed down. The last time I tried to take photos with a 4x5 in Manhattan (90's) I was stopped by two policemen who told me that I needed a city permit for a 24 hour period in order to shoot with a tripod. Best of the new year to you.

The worst thing in doing work like he's doing is when you get it all set up, walk around to close the aperture and on the way back to put the film holder in you clip the tripod foot and F up the whole thing and have to reframe and refocus hehe.

@Dahrenhorst Жыл бұрын
I do street photography like that as well (with a 5x7), however, as the price for the otherwise free pic I ask the people to sign a release paper, that I am allowed to use their picture as I want to. I'm living in Europe, here you need that if you actually want to eventually publish the picture.
@Nitidus Жыл бұрын
Und die Leute machen das mit?
@Dahrenhorst Жыл бұрын
@@Nitidus Sure, because they usually very much like the idea of owning a picture made with such an "old" camera (the camera is quite new, though, made in 2020). Signing the form is the price. If they don't sign it, I don't take a picture of that person, and usually for every one not wanting to give me the rights on the picture there are ten who simply don't care.
@Nitidus Жыл бұрын
@@Dahrenhorst Very interesting. Maybe it's because of the large format camera. From my experience, here, as soon as you initiate a conversation with people whilst holding a camera, they immediately think you're trying to sell them something, or just flat out scam them. Often times, they don't even stop to at least listen to the first sentence. But of course, large format provokes curiosity! Do you ask them whether you can take their picture and if they say yes, you add that they would need to sign a model release contract?
@Dahrenhorst Жыл бұрын
@@Nitidus Yes, and of course I explain why I need that form signed. I also tell them, that I gladly take a picture of them without signing the form for 100 €. Nobody has taken that offer yet, though. I think it's in fact the large format camera. I actually rarely have to ask someone to be photographed, mostly I get approached, asked what this is about and the conversation frequently ends with me taking a picture of them - after they have signed the form.
