This is a special interview. The interviewer seems to have a REAL interest in the interviewee and has a really special place for his work. A real fan. Beautiful to see. Had to subscribe. I could imagine if these two were in a room, no cameras. Just their favorite books and favorite music playing. I bet those conversations would be great!
Great interview! Isn't the black community afraid of defining and restricting themselves by the colour of their skin? This might incorporate bad people that you don't share values with and keep away people of a different race that might be a valuable addition. Aren't the values the most important thing we can share and not the shade of our skin? We're all different shades of brown anyway, not black, white, yellow etc. Aren't you afraid it might create a racist subculture based on identifying as a victim and feeling resentment? This can lead to becoming a self justified oppressor quite quickly, like the people of Israel in recent decades. Genuinely curious about your perspective, because I'd be terrified to identify with unknown people just because they're white.
This platform was created to highlight the work and accomplishments of Black photographers in an industry that has not always supported us. Nowhere in our content do we identify as victims. Nowhere in our content do we oppress other groups. If the celebration of Black photographers breeds resentment in non-Black photographers, that is their challenge to overcome. Thank you for tuning in and inquiring.
@@Blkshutter if you've found resentment anywhere in my comment please point it out, but don't accuse me of it without proof. I was asking if you're not afraid of breeding resentment and victimhood by creating an organisation that is racially biased.
53:02 bro think he someone else now. this picture pretentious AF. had to grab a coffee first before started photographing gentrification. those great depression photographers he admired will roast the shi out of him.
@@DarrylEbanks Depending on whether you like the history of photography or not, you'll know for what reason that photo was considered a banger by him. You can feel him slowly becoming more of an influencer than an artist. He's joe-greerized.
“black is beautiful” was the perfect 3 word description of his work. Andre is a legend. Great conversation.
ANDRE WAGNER IS GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE THAT HEADS WILL BE TALKING ABOUT IN FUTURE YEARS TO COME WHEN WE ARE GONE!💯💯💯
Agree 100% In the spirit of Gordon Parks.
always an interesting conversation with Andre Wagner. Such a pioneer in our current time of photography.
Absolutely. He shared a dope perspective on how he makes his work. Thank you for tuning in.

That's hate and I don't agree.
