- Welcome 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:

also here's my IG page, would love to see you there as well:

I used to think taking my medium format Rolleiflex out for street photography was a challenge, but this is another level.
Hey man, just wanted to say that I've been binge watching the walkie talkie series and really appreciate you for doing em. Love hearing different perspectives and seeing different styles/approaches to shooting. These are gold forreal. Keep it up man
Yes! Same!
Also been binge watching the Walkie Talkie series, so good!
Yes same!
Same!
Same
First TH-cam photographer that has a normal camera bag. Humble and 100 real
the first guys to walk up are like "it's free?!" haha
This is so entertaining. I could watch Jerry shoot for hours.
So sick. Such an inspiration. Though didn't see the end result of the guy at 33:18 ?
Paulie B, you are a treasure. This must’ve been a bear to edit.
I hope you get some money for these TH-cam videos, they’re frikin great.
God, when people move. Breaks my heart.
Walkie talkie is officially my new favourite series on YT
i cant imagine a more impractical way to take photos.
This 😂
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.
This guy goes hard.
the walkie talkie videos are some of my new favorite things to watch on youtube now, they have revived my love of photography and make me want to use my camera again.
This is fantastic. Love Jerry’s work and his energy is top notch.
23:59 “do you need help” 😂
Paulie, these walkie talkie series are so unique, so essential, so captivating, so inspiring, so instructional, so entertaining, so intimate, so urgent, so classic.... I'm so grateful for them.
These are historically important.
Jerry is the hero this city deserves
It's invigorating how you interacted with people while shooting 4x5. IDK where to even begin with that and it just looked so natural. Great portraits.
The fact it takes a minute to make a shot makes us appreciate the art.
Love that you bumped into the king of Kodak. Thought that dude had disappeared of the earth
The effort he puts in to his craft is heroic
Love this episode. As an occasional large format street shooter I hold my breath as he goes back to set aperature and cock the shutter. But that uncertainty underscores the beauty of the art.
This is such a fun video! Thanks Paulie B for puting these out there alwys great to see how folks are creating out onghe streets 😊
This series is so great. Appreciate the love that goes into it
Wow, been binging these videos after finding you recently, and Jerry is such a joy.
Seems like such a cool dude to hang out with, and talk to, and his photos are phenomenal.
Watching all of these at once, this is the best one yet!
This is series is awesome mahn. Thanks a lot for doing this and continue this. All of these people are amazing.
WOW what a video, Jerry is such a legend
What an episode! 🔥❤️
Best series for photography on the platform
continue performing greatness
OMG!! Look who I found…enjoyed it so much. This makes you so happy. Keep up the good work ..
Jerry is super nice! Great to see him develop his style and skill... already enjoyed his walkie talkie with Eric Kim back in the days when M6s were 1200 bucks 🙃
Badassss series so far, and love this episode! That camera is ❤❤❤
Best one yet
This was sweet and unique. Appreciate Jerry's humor and demeanour. Would like to see more with him.
It is so interesting to see how the camera used informs the process and the result. These pictures have to be very well thought out beforehand. Awesome walkie talkie.
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.
This guy is a legend!
Holy sh#t man, only in New York XD That image quality is amazing! Even on a screen, Would love to shoot 4x5 someday. And again such a great dude. I watched 6 or 7 Walkie Talkies since yesterday, love it!! You have some amazing people around you man!
Thanks for this series !!!
Fist bump for my man 👊🏽
Making up for the missed one with Jerry
Dang! Jerry is hardcore!!!! Love it
This series is so fresh! Keep up the great work :)
this guy is a true artist!
amazing as always
That was awesome. I take public portraits with the same camera and it was great to watch someone doing a similar thing but in a different way. I just subbed and will go and have a look at your other videos. I really like the walk-in talkie format for a video.
Jerry has some much positive energy.
The results are really something man
This was fireeeeeeeeee.
really enjoyed this episode!
people are so nice,🥺 I would say no but ugh love that they are saying yes
I love these videos, so inspiring. I’m based in Macclesfield in the UK, it’s a small town and walking around with a camera freaks people out. But these videos just help you to keep going.
Have a great Xmas. 🎄💥👌🏻
just found your channel. LOVE all the videos.
Great day out that’s for sure !
These things are fun man!
Each time he gets consent, I'm worried he's going to F it up after all that effort. Love it
wow Jerry , kudos , what a craft .
Lovely to enjoy your work. I also have a Chamonix which has sat dormant for a few years. I really must take her out on a date soon - there is much work to be done! Cheers and keep it up. Big thanks for sharing from Sydney - Dave
helll yeah brother
This upcoming semster in college I'm taking a 4x5 class so this has me excited
such a good ep
This is fantastic, congrats on such a wonderful video, its difficult to pull off large format
i would buy Jerry photo collection his work is amazing!
Cool episode. Jerry would be fun to shoot with.
this camera is so loud lmaooo, i dig it
If this guy put on a hard hat and reflective vest he could post up on any sidewalk or corner and take pictures of people as they walked by or stood around
incredible version of wakie talkie
so inspiring.. I was considering using my 4x5 again :)
Something I've found helpful in the past, especially with portraits, is to set up your exposure before focussing. Cheers!
I liked the older gentleman telling jerry about his urban sun bathing routine.
that astral stuff was bad ass.
this is great, great video- i also have a similar practice, but draw people in my sketchbooks
It's an old camera so after I set focus you'll have to stay really still
This is funny - people would make fun of me for using 4x5, and I would joke that taking portraits is like, "Hold it! Hoooold it...HOLD IT! Hold...it...Okay...Hold it!" 🤣
The amount of effort in this for a pic is nuts
anxiety is when Jerry finishes focusing and rushes out from under the cape,,,what if he trips or kicks the tripod and it goes splat,,,but the photos are worth it!!! crazy work
That kid is really talented!
So cool
Daaaang! That interaction with the man around the 13:00 mark: wow!
Greetings from Alabama. Great vid.
damnn i love these videos Paul! keep em coming! Joel Meyerowitz next?
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.
This is the most Hipster shit I've ever seen! I love it hahahaha
Where is King of Kodak now? Is he gone off IG? I miss seeing his stuff
"Don't move..."
Always good to see a hint of Scotland in the comments section of street photography videos ✌️
@@TheLiamGordon - haha yes ma man!
it takes me about an hour to focus 4x5 ground glass- damn near impossible to tell if the grain is in focus. kudos to him for doing it in like 5 seconds.
Jerry Pena - This is some ballsy shit man, in NYC on a damn 4x5. Paulie where you find these guys? This was very cool. Thanks.
If I ever see Jerry coming I'm gonna post up on the nearest wall asap.
I have always wanted to try to do street photography but never had the guts so I went to graffiti
I mean, you can see why Cartier Bresson embraced his Leica.
[this is great stuff, I’m just teasing]
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.
Und die Leute machen das mit?
@@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.
@@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?
@@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.
Hi, what do you do with the photos?
The old man at 12:30 wearing a commemorative shirt of the Great Wall of Beijing, what a story.
I’d love to meet this guy and have him take my photos. He sounds like Sterling Archer.
How much Jerry sounds like Joe List is insane lol
LOL this mfer is crazy. Wielding that thing like a sword.
Yup this is GOOD content. Thinking Patreon for you or something…? Would love to contribute for the time and energy to manifest this wisdom series of videos.
That’s so old-school. You should of asked him for his mailing address too just to keep it really old school. 😂
Am I too prosaic or would the mural at
34:10 provide the perfect backdrop?
Jerry could save himself a lot of walking
by setting up in front of the mural
with a sign reading $30 & profit on
the tourist trade. 😉📸
First
can someone explain the steps he has to take? why not focus last before taking the pic?
Because you can’t focus while the film holder is in the camera.
Ive always loved how the pictures turn out after the edit in this series. Is it kind of like a warm 80's-90's vibe, but super crisp? I want to try an recreate it. Could anyone help? 🥲
