- Shane talks about a photographer featured in Issue 06 of Framelines Magazine; Mario Carnicelli, who retired from photography for 40 years only to return and publish his first photobook when he was 81 years old.
He also talks about the importance of sharing work in ways not related to social media and giving true value to the photographs we love.

The reason I host photowalks and started working on an interview series with photographers is to provide myself and others the chance to meet likeminded people and discover work that speaks to us. Community is so important because this is how we meet mutuals and feel encouraged/motivated to keep creating work. As for work/photographers being “lost”, I think the algorithms of social media bury a lot of great accounts and it’s all about tagging and resharing work. With social media marketing, engagement is everything.
Well done for creating a community. It’s not easy but it’s so worthwhile right? Discovering a new photographer through a friend or community is such a cool thing. I’m old enough to remember when good music and movies were shared through word of mouth. There was always one friend who knew everything, and could recommend the best stuff. :)
Not sure why Framelines videos haven't been popping up until your latest video today ... but I adore them, very special videos guys
I met Mario at PhotoLondon a few years ago and he signed my copy of his book, he was a delight.
That’s where I first came across his work! Then later in David Hill gallery
his story reminds me of sual leiter，the state “ pioneer of color photograph” was posthumoused very late in his life
Absolutely. He didn’t get enough recognition when he was alive.
Excellent. Thank you.
Great channel, with lots of inspiration for my own journey. Thank you.
What a story! If I don’t get my street photography fix each week I get depressed, so I couldn’t imagine packing it in completely for 40 years, especially if I had his talent! Thanks for sharing, Shane 🙏🏻
Glad you liked it man. I couldn’t imagine packing it in for that long either.
These were all just LOVELY, thank you for sharing!
Cheers Wes. I'd highly recommend the American Voyage book.
This was amazing. when I started doing photography Vivian Meyer had just been discovered and I managed to see one exhibition in London. This is another talent which has been brought to the world because someone cared. Is the book available on sale? I would like to buy it if possible.
Brilliant!
cheers luke!
What a lovely video! His photos are on another level! I believe that all street photographers have our champions just around the corner, so keep sharing and most importantly keep shooting!
Well…. I like what you guys do and think the magazine looks great
Inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
The publications you guys do and your content on TH-cam is incredibly inspiring, uplifting, and to me important. Thank you!
This is excellent for Mario and his work
Cheers fella. I’d love to see his work get more attention.
I totally agree, having grown up in photography and having worked as a photojournalist for 25 years, making prints was all part of the job.. Now all is just on phones or social media, ephemeral and soon forgotten. I chose also to start making zines and photobooks for my own pleasure a few years ago.. I no longer have a dark room and in any case shoot digital today, so the photobook is a brilliant way to see ones work on paper..
Great video enjoyed it..
truly inspiring ❤!
Thanks! Glad you found it inspiring :)
Excellent content. I really enjoyed this. There's something pleasantly organic about the photos lost and rediscovered. It seems like a lot of today's photography looks similar, whereas these photos clearly document a time now past in film with no post-processing other than developing. I appreciate this a lot. It's a reminder to stay connected to film.
Glad you liked it Ron. Mario used a specific type of film that’s no longer available, which gives his images an even more unique signature. I love the reds in particular.
What incredible photographs!! Not only are they technically impeccable, but also very aesthetic and meaningful at the same time. Huge thank you for sharing this amazing work!
Great video and subject.
I really like your channel and it stands out in its own sorts.
I always take time to watch it and absorb the information and photos.
Getting to know Photographers through channels like yours is great and it is refreshing to see works of not so famous (but very good) artist besides the always mentioned Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
Being a great fan of Paulie's too, you guys give great credits to Street Photography and pleas carry on.
Warm greetings from a cold Amsterdam
That's a very lovely comment to get on a cold London morning. Thanks! :)
Marios work looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Street photography becomes interesting for the majority of people when what was photographed no longer exists. Many old photos are not extraordinary in terms of framing or color, but they tell a story that has aged well. This is the most important thing for me when I select photos. Try to show images that tell a story that will age well.
Agreed. We'll said. "A story that's aged well..."🙏🏽
It's an interesting exercise to try to consider what someone 50yrs from now would think of your photos. What would they think of iPhones and street fluorescent street furniture? Maybe they'd think it was quaint.
simply, BEAUTIFUL! thank you for sharing! another thing to get inspiration..
Thank you so much!
I just love everything about this and love that this was shared to me by another photographer equally passionate about the work and sentiment expressed here. 👏🏼
Awesomeness yes mario's work is really awesome and captures the realism and emotions on thr street...glad he show ss because his work would jave been lost.keep the good work guys love your content
Thanks man. Glad you like Mario’s work!
great video. Totally agree about sharing work, especially in print. Thanks for introducing me to Mario's work. What a story
Crazy right? It's never too late to publish your first book :)
So happy to have stumbled upon this. Totally going to buy this book. I'm hoping the first trip to NYC was in 1967, as it's my birth year, and New York was my home for 30 years. Beautiful photography-and this story reminds me of Vivian Maier's.
I'm glad you liked it. You must have had some interesting years in New York :)
Good to see you in the videos again, Shane. Feel like its been a while. Great story.
thanks man. Hoping to get out more regular videos but there's a lot of work to do on the mag front :)
@@frame-lines I’m sure. Keep up the great, hard work. The last issue was beautiful. The photography community needs this mag.
Great stuff, Shane. Fantastic information and advice. Loved the story of Mario, fascinating to hear. It would be great to see people try to share others work more. I have been trying to do this more, and will take your advice to take it a step further.
Well said Shane. Loved this video and thanks for introducing me to Mario Carnicelli.
Glad you liked it man. I’d recommend checking out Mario’s Italian documentary photos too. Incredible stuff.
@@frame-lines thanks I will for sure. 👍🏼 😊
Best video so far ❤
Lovely stuff as always, Framelines & Paulie B are by far the best discoveries I’ve found the last 12 months…Keep on, keepin on guys 📸
That's pretty good company to keep :)
BTW, we interviewed Paulie in the latest issue of our mag. He's in there with Mario :)
@@frame-lines I picked it up as soon as it dropped, never missed a copy yet & I don’t intend to, so inspiring…onwards & upwards :)
Excellent video! These photos are outrageous! Such elegant compositions and pleasant film color tones. Thank you for sharing his work.
Glad you enjoyed it
To me the most interesting part of Mario's story is missing. Why did he quit/retire doing photography? But maybe not knowing it makes his work even more interesting.
Shane, I really loved this one! Mario’s story is very interesting indeed. I’m so glad you spoke on sharing others’ work because, far too often modern photographers fall in love with what’s trending and rarely open their mind or lend their support to anything outside of their box. I’ve been saying publicly everything you’re saying for literal years, trying to get people to give other artists a chance. Aside from trying to garner attention for my own work, I think you should check out an amazing photographer named Lester Sloan. His story is truly amazing also! 😉
Thanks Robert. I'll check out Lester. Definitely agree that we have to give artists a chance and not just leave it up to the luck of the algorithm. By leaving it up to social media, then more and more creative people lean into trends and end up making boring, samey photographs.
Richard Sandler also published his first book when he was not shooting anymore.
About Vivian Maier you might be interested in checking out the comment about her story from Joan Fontcuberta, it’s quite interesting.
That's funny. Myself and Josh were just talking about Richard yesterday. About how he shot most of his work during a short period of time before moving into video. I'll check out Joan Fontcuberta- thanks for sharing :)
I think a lot of the video clips in Italy you use are from Siena. I had to laugh, because it looks almost exactly the same today.
Good eye :)
What’s the discord?😢

I will cop some flack for this but my view on street photos from the past being labeled as amazing and the like is not correct. Just like old war photos, any photo from 50-60 years ago is going to look so good, amazing, purely from the subject material. There is nothing special about the photo with the man on the motor bike at the start of the video. Because of the look of the old buildings, clothes and bike the viewer thinks its amazing...its not. It appeals to us NOW because we didnt grow up in that year. This will be obvious to photographers in anther 50-60 years from now looking at our street photos thinking that they look amazing. Street photos today wont appeal as much as street photos from the past purely because we live in the year they were created and dont see anything special because we are living in it. The same scenario for photographers who make slight edits in comparison to those who use a creative presets. How many photos of reflections through puddles, people walking streets, boring subjects seem to get all the wows and accolades from society not because of the subject but how cool it looks.....you mean how cool and different the colour grading is on the photo. I have proved this many times over by posting the same photo a month apart, one with basic edit which gets a few likes and then the same photo with some lightroom preset and oh the likes and praise i get........for what? So relax your street photos will be admired when you are dead and the year is 2070, when the world looks nothing like when the photos were taken. Prove me wrong.
