Video with Joel Meyerowitz

[Andrea Taurisano]

I thought this may be of interest, a nice video with Joel Meyerowitz:

I did a quick search on the forum before I posted, but I didn't seem to find a thread on it. Please remove it if I was wrong.

Just saw that, interesting, wished it was longer though. I think his segments in the Genius of Photography series allowed more of him to come through.

"Q😛lease excuse the standard elevator pitch, but can you give us a little introduction as to who you are, what type of photography you shoot, what you’re known for, and what camera you use?

A: I’m Joel Meyerowitz and I have been photographing for 50 years. I consider myself a street photographer, which means I like to be out in the everyday chaos of ordinary life and watch for things to show themselves to me; things that make some sense to me particularly and this kind of work can only be done at the level that I think it needs to be done with a Leica."

I thought this was a pretty silly statement.

That was perhaps because it is an advertorial in disguise😉

Actually he elaborates on this in the Genius of Photography series. If it's an advertorial, it's probably Lecia editing it this way.
