As a somewhat introverted photographer - I clenched my buttcheeks throughout that whole episode.

"I'm not the kind of person to flash someone in the face and then run away" literally a full video of him flashing people and running away 😂

Most beautiful part about the confrontation at 31:55 is that, while the man is explaining you should never f*ckn take pictures of guys like him, the cameraman is taking 24 pictures a second of the guy.

I've never met Trevor in person, out of the blue a couple of years ago, he FaceTimed me and we talked for about half an hour. Incredibly nice person. This was great. I'm not a street photographer but I love what you're making with this show, Paulie. ❤

Hear this guy talk for a few moments you can tell he’s going to do something. He’s got that desire and weirdness that artists have.

The photo of his mum, near the end of her life, is incredible and so powerful. Had to stop the video to take it in and laugh at the goosebumps. The story behind it elevates it beyond being just a stunner. What an incredible person Trevor is.

He takes photos, gives advice, sings, shoots ball, and is a comedian. I know how he feels about the pics of his mom, lost mine recently and I have pics of her towards her last days and they're beautiful memories. He and this episode were definitely fun to watch. 👍🏾👏🏾🎉😂😂

Trevor has balls to do street photography WITH THE FLASH ON. Another great video of the series.

If the joker was a street photographer

NOW WHEN THEY SEE US IN THE STREETS ALL THEY WANNA DO IS TAKE PICS AND IM LIKE OKAY

That confrontation at 31:50 shook me up a bit as it reminded me of when I was starting out in practicing street photography and had a very similar aggressive reaction. I still calmly and politely told the person what I was doing and they understood (we actually had a nice chat after the explanation), but it had still shaken me up the rest of the day. I truly admire just how well Trevor handled that interaction!

What a character. One of my favorite episodes! This guy is so entertaining to watch.

Love to see a bold photographer who is willing to take the risk and, when the time comes due to take a tongue lashing, remains calm and collected, says what he needs to say to get out of the situation safely, and then CARRIES ON WITH THE WORK. Bravo on the way you handled the confrontation, Trevor! I don't think it could have been handled better tbh. Nothing you could say would have made that guy less angry, so just remain humble, apologize, and get to the next photo. Great episode, Paulie!

As a New Yorker, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people that didn’t say anything. His photography and attitude is incredible, glad this video was recommended to me

you've tapped into an aesthetic that feels like both this film and Trevor Wisecup have come right out of the 70s or something. This is fantastic and I hope to see you continue making work.

There's something special about the slightly-off-kilter creative mind of certain artists. It's a little scary too. Like, a little bit too much could go the wrong way. Trevor is clearly on that artist spectrum. You can hear it in his answer of why do you take photos..."Because I have to." I KNEW he was going to say that. You can see it in his eyes. Much respect to him for chasing the art and being polite in the process. Great video, Paulie.

What a sweetheart. So infectious watching someone on their mission, doing what they love.

31:53 is an iconic street photography moment that’s going to be replayed and replayed for decades.

I believe the "secret camera" is a Chinon Auto 3001 Multi Auto Focus. Great/fun video.

You have to admire his passion and confidence. It’s not put on, he’s very natural with people and it reflects in his work.

33:37 I love how Trevor celebrates with laughter when he knows it was a great photo, very inspiring, “gear doesn’t matter”, hope he has a great career ahead and a wonderful life.

this guy needs a card or something to give people, a lot of these photos are gorgeous and i feel like a lot of them would appreciate you capturing them in the moment

I've gone through the comments and noticed a mix of reactions - supporters, critics, and defenders. Trevor, if you're out there, hello! While some label the work as "low quality", a term I find highly subjective, I see Trevor's photos capturing the essence of the saying: "You are who you are when nobody is looking." The reality is that many online photos are curated illusions - often filtered, staged, or taken during significant life events like birthdays or graduations. And while there's no shortage of picturesque shots taken atop mountains or hills, they don't necessarily leave a lasting imprint on memory. Contrast that with a unique shot of four workers in yellow vests transporting an expensive painting in New York. That single image says so much about society - the stark contrast of how the workers might never earn in a year what that painting sells for in a day. I applaud such bold and evocative photography. It speaks of freedom and authenticity in an era where some spend hours selecting the 'perfect' yet indistinguishable selfie for Instagram. I'm a fan.

I Love this dude, super confident with his approach to photography and full of character. One of the best walkie talkie episode ever.

The best Walkie Talkie video yet, Paulie. Really appreciate Trevor for sharing all the pictures that turned out, and not just the successful ones. An honest look at a day of street photography.

"Gear doesn't matter." Also this guy "I can't tell you what I'm using in case you buy it and you're as good as me." "You don't have my lens."

„You live the choices you make“ this dude has been crushed by life till he reached a level of wisdom

Yeah, great way to start my Friday off. I never add comments to videos but I just gotta say this is my favorite series on KZfaq. Super inspiring getting to see the process and perspective from a wide range of different photographers. Gotta be my favorite channel.

I love Trevor Wisecup. His photos are wonderful, and his energy/personality is infectious. He feels like a man out of time.

I love this guy's chill, carefree, personality to everything. He's just living his best life.

Love Trevor's reaction when he knows he got a good pic. Beautiful and powerful photos of his mom. Thanks for another great episode Paulie.

What an interesting & talented person!!!!! He handles himself so well when ppl get a little crazy. Thank you for showcasing Trevor & all his thoughts. This is one of my favorite episodes.

What an episode, definitely one of my favorites! Handled every "difficult" situation like a boss, learned a lot in this one. Thanks, Paulie & Trevor.

What makes this a Masterpiece is the authenticity and he was just raw and bold. Amazing fella

Paulie, truly love this channel. It helps us discover new up and coming great talent. Trevor has balls of steel and I admire that. Truly committed the the street photography life. Looking forward to more exciting episodes.

This guy is a fucking genuine artist. Honest, open, vulnerable and aware. Fearless…yes, in the sense that he has fear and doubt, like all true artists, and he sits right there in it and feels it, processes it and keeps moving. The part about crying to his gf and doubting his picture taking abilities is so important. I’m so glad he shared that. What some of these critics in the comments section fail to understand is that the thousands of pictures taken that aren’t anything special is a fundamental necessity in this art form. Trevor admitted his book project would take years. He was on the street for one fucking afternoon, open heart, curious, and shooting pictures. All you photography experts critique the resulting pictures from one day’s work like you think it’s so easy and effortless. You may want to consider changing your outlook and find some humility, curiosity and lose those ideas that you know everything. This video is a treasure. A look into the mind and heart of a great young photographer, and a teaching session for other artists on some very meaningful and valuable elements of the artistic process. Thank you for making this video, and thank you Trevor, for the generosity and inspiration here.

That confrontation is my worst nightmare when I'm taking pictures on the street. He handled it better than I think I would. Good on him for stopping and engaging even when his personal safety was in question.

there's something very thought provoking about candid photography. capturing that unmanufactured moment. this is awesome.

He seems like a genuine person. Refreshing to see someone that cares about peoples emotions when they are mad he has taken a picture. He realizes they are having a moment in humam existence. My favorite photo was the one of his mother looking out of the window in the door.

I recently lost my mother and Trevor's dedication of this video to his mother made me tear up. Another incredibly enjoyable video Paulie, thank you so much for making these :-)

Man. This video is just... Gold. I don't know how to express how inspired I feel right now. Thanks! To both of you

This was fantastic. At first Trevor comes off as a bit rude, but you soon realize he is actually very considerate. He respects the people he is photographing, and keeps his cool when people get upset. Really great video

The Miley Cyrus song constantly rotating in his brain between images really is what made this endearing for me. Street photography has always felt super invasive, like you’re stealing moments that aren’t yours… but Trevor makes a shared one that is evident in the images he makes.

I could listen to him for hours... one of the most inspiring guys on this channel.

Favourite episode so far. Don't over think things, react to the moment. Be confident in what you're doing and why your doing it. Sounds simple, but it's one of the hardest things to do. Wish Trevor the very best and will definitely be in line for that book when it comes too!

THIS IS AMAZING. trevor is a phenomenally talented artist and truly an inspirational being. and to be honest this video meant a lot to me in many different ways. as someone who lives with social anxiety and mostly avoids conflict, I find trevor's approach and advices on street photography incredibly valuable on the larger scale as well. that’s why i believe this episode probably would be interesting for also those who are not interested in photography whatsoever. i love having people like trevor around me and i appreciate their passion and their willingness to confront anyone on that hill. much respect and love.

this is something that's better than Netflix

This series man is gonna be historical for sure! Like they are gonna use this stuff in college lectures in the future. Keep it up man!

His attitude towards confrontation is pretty amazing, great episode!

For the historical and cultural documentation it's important having photographers out there doing this, he is obviously talented and dedicated enough to be financially supported in this endeavour.

"That was super aggressive... but its fine!" Love that mentality

What a brilliant episode. Trevor is charismatic and engaging, and makes everything feel alive. The editing of this video was equally sublime. Thanks dude.

Really excited to watch his career develop. Amazing energy and dedication. A true street / life photographer

the first picture of his mother is beautiful

this is easily my favorite walkie talkie, trevor got me into street photography

Both of his pictures of his mom are incredibly beautiful

@trevorwisecup is a real G. Ran into him on the street and spent the next hour walking and talking with him like he’d known me for years. Super nice and genuine guy and truly living in the moment. Another great episode, Paulie!

I like this guy's confidence. That's a very hard thing to have taking stranger's photos. I honestly like the process more than the photos, which makes me like the photos lol.

This made me want to pick up a camera for the first time in ages. I wish i could spend a day with this guy. Truly inspirational

Best one so far. Love this kid. If I lived over there I would 100% wanna be his friend. What a unique, and genuine person. Great episode and some of the best photos made so far.

I really want to channel this kind of energy when I’m out on the streets. Supreme confidence that whatever happens is okay. Trevor seems to embrace conflict/interaction which is a great headspace to be in. I’ll get there one day.

Just a plumber here enjoying this video that loves street photography 😊

I rarely leave comments, but this mini film has me excited. The atmosphere, the handheld shooting, the main character, the aesthetics of film New York, the philosophy of the street photographer. I really really liked it. ❤

I feel very inspired. thank you both for taking the time to share so much of your work.

What a kewl dude. One of the best W T episodes IMO A true ambassador for Street Photography, well documented by our man in NYC, Pauli. Thanks so much for sharing

Never comment on vids, this was a great. Such a great format, held my interest solidly. A very raw, casual picture of Trevor at work whilst also being ridiculously easy to watch - not easy. More more!

The two pictures of Trevor's mom blew me away. Absolutley beautiful. The last picture of her had SO much bite to it, at least for me I saw her resiliance and strength. Extreremly powerful.. actually made me tear up. Thank you Trevor for everything you do. For all of us who love and support genueine art, we appreciate your hard work and dedication. God bless.

I love Trevor and his work. He gives off an "unscrupulous/ ambulance chasing lawyer" vibe and I dig it.

Every artist/photographer needs a Trevor Wisecup in their lives. This was great.

I just love how everyone‘s cool with being photographed as soon as he says „you look amazing“. Definitely need to try it out myself 😂

dude really said “i’m not hiding anything” and also said “im not saying what this camera is”

I said this when he showed up briefly in a vlog, but Trevor reminds me so much of the people I used to take photos with from my old school. We were a bunch of miserable, private school kids who eventually got thrown out but we had a camera a piece and a desire to do something artistic. He had the same kind of manic artistic energy, knows what he wants to do, and has to do, but couldn't explain why. Also he comes across as an absolute sweetheart. I wish him nothing but the absolute best. Great photos, great dude. Hope everything comes together for him.

For those you want to know that camera he does not want to tell you about is a Chinon multi focus auto 3001

I dig Wisecup's energy and explanations to the craft. It's wonderful to see his method and excitement to the his next shot and love for photography! Stay blessed!

Be nice - best advice and backup in street photography. Thanks to Paulie and Trevor!

Loving it! Trevor's energy is addictive, have to go out and take some pictures. Paulie, I can't wait for the next episode!

Love Trevor’s energy haha. He has the right attitude to be a photographer of life.

It's so bizarre to me when people say to be genuine and kind only to be performative and aggressive.

I hope more and more ppl will understand how important art is and also how cool it is to be part of it

I appreciate this episode as kind of a companion/counterpoint to the episode with Daniel Emuna. It’s a very interesting contrast in process and philosophy between Trevor and Daniel. Two very different approaches to street photography. I think watching these two episodes together is enlightening.

This was dynamic. I love seeing how different people navigate the streets and what motivates them. This felt so personal.

This is amazing. I love this dudes confidence in himself, his work, and confidence in other people to be cool. Probbaly the most inspiring video I've seen in a while. Subbed.

yo, when at 31:55 Trevor kept his cool like a block on antarctic ice, I immediately knew this guy is a living legend!

I had to pause the video to say that I think the photographers that you're making documentaries on are living philosophers. Just another wonderful episode

I really think walkie talkie videos will go down in history for future generations about real street photography. There is nothing like it on the internet at least not in recent times. People in the future will go back and look at these videos to get inspire and learn, just the way we do right now watching videos like “everybody street”, etc etc. thanks a lot paulie.

His outlook and approach to photography is great. Love this episode. Best of both worlds! 🎵

Trevor is such an inspirational guy. His enthusiasm and determination are so infectious. I love that someone young can be so self-assured and knowledgeable whilst also modest. I want to get out with my camera… What a cool chap.

That was pure fun. Lovin the energy of walk and talk podcast

Paulie, you are great at making these videos. This series is so good. I feel like I am walking along with you.

One of the most authentic videos I've seen on KZfaq lately. Soo much culture around NY! Being an outsider, this fascinates me as I love raw street photography.

Honestly, one of the most inspiring street (life) photographers and photography videos I've seen on KZfaq!

Man I love this guy, cannot wait for his book

This was one of my favorite episodes, loved his energy.

I really appreciate that he asks about interpretations of ethics, that's such a big part of art

This was great, thank you. I love Trevor's guts; his fear is overpowered by his passion. And therefor he is, I think, an artist.

« I don’t just take photos and briskly walk away »… continues to take photos and briskly walk away.

Woah, this video was like a revelation! Really helped me with fear of approaching for a photo, thank you, Paulie, thank you, Trevor!

trevor, i love your mindset dude.

I’m not a photographer, I just like to look at stuff - but this guy is so, so inspiring. Everything he said was pertaining to photography but if you remove the context it was also really great life advice. Thank you for sharing!
