    This is such a different way of approaching street and it definitely shows in her portfolio. This is evidence that no KZread video, course, influencer, or class, can really change who you are. You're born with it and nothing can change that, I've thought about this recently how there's a particular way I approach street that no matter really what I do I fall back into shooting that way. You may be able to improve or add things but at the end of the day there's a skeleton you start with and that's just the way it is. She approaches street like Laura Fuchs and nobody else and I tremendously respect and admire that.

    That’s so untrue. I live in Malmö, Sweden and is out on the streets a couple of days a week sometimes and almost always chitchat with people. No matter if I’m shooting in Sweden or abroad. I’m usually walking the streets with a smile on my face and often have people coming up to me talking and asking me for taking their pictures. And I’m a tall 59 year old man. You receive what you send out.

    Finally another Woman photographer, in Women's History Month no less! 👍🏾 I'm so glad Laura mentioned Bill Cunningham, the legend of NYC fashion street photography. He's not mentioned enough on KZread photography videos. Awesome she got to meet him. He's one of my favorites too, his documentaries are amazing. That's actually who I thought of watching her in the video. She has a great personality and smiles with and for people. She gained a new fan and follower from me. Definitely inspiring me to get out there in my city using both digital and film. 👏🏾👍🏾 Pauly can we get the names of all the photographers she took pics of? 😁
