WNYC Street Shots: Joe Wigfall
Loading...
Uploaded by wnycradio on Jul 10, 2008
Joe Wigfall can see with his hands. Never lifting his camera to his eye, he shoots hundreds of photos during his lunch hour or walking to the train after work. A true artist, Joe brings a bit of himself into each of his photographs. He's the winner of WNYC's Street Shots Challenge.
Produced by Benjamen Walker and Andrea Silenzi for WNYC Culture

A lot of old school photographers used to shot like him with out looking at the view finder. It takes a lot of skill to be able to pull it off.

Nice! Very nice!

What I love about his attitude is that his is not approaching shooting from a place of anger, confrontation, or grim determination. Wigfall, keep rocking it!
-
As for some criticism: Seems a bit like lomography to me. Just shoot hundreds of pictures and pick out a good one. Anyone can do that.
As for his "black and white is art"-line... well, a good picture is a good picture, regardless whether you put it in black and white or let it remain in color.
Some of the post-edits are also quite heavy, too heavy vignetting to my taste, f.ex.
Ah well, best of luck to him.

That is the best verbalisation of how I feel about photography, and specifically street photography I have seen or even thought of myself.
I want to do it. It satisfies something deep inside, but it doesn't pay any bills. So? JUst do it, keep doing it, one day it might, that's not important, it's art!
Thank you for an amazing interview WNYC, and for being an inspirational dude Joe Wigfall!

I agree with drix01 way better than Gilden, Wigfall is very non abrasive in his shooting style and I think It makes for more candid photographs.
