I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thought exactly the same thing . And , by the way , there IS a huge difference between " Confidence " and " Arrogance " !! He's leaning way over to arrogance side , possibly even into the abrasively aggressive . NO ONE likes having someone pull up a camera a few inches from their face and have a flash go off !!! And , runs away like a petulant child !

Eh, disagree. No running, he just kept moving. Anytime someone tried to speak with him he stopped and engaged. This is a great example of how to conduct street photography. The flash is aggressive, agreed. i never use flash in street photography. That said, I use digital camera body so my rule is, take the photo. For me, if someone has an issue I can just kindly delete the photo and show them that I have, that will pretty much resolve any issue. Also, never photograph kids without a parents consent. It's really not a big deal.

I still calmly and politely told the person what I was doing and they understood (we actually had a nice chat after the explanation), but it had still shaken me up the rest of the day.

Love to see a bold photographer who is willing to take the risk and, when the time comes due to take a tongue lashing, remains calm and collected, says what he needs to say to get out of the situation safely, and then CARRIES ON WITH THE WORK. Bravo on the way you handled the confrontation, Trevor! I don't think it could have been handled better tbh. Nothing you could say would have made that guy less angry, so just remain humble, apologize, and get to the next photo. Great episode, Paulie!

What if he was just flashing the camera in their face, I would argue that’s rude but to keep the picture and post online for millions to see is wrong. Public privacy is something both parties should mutually respect, he is no higher than a paparazzi with his moral compass. Don’t assume I don’t understand the artistic expression because I do, but you are pretending this isn’t black and white when it is, what he is doing makes people uncomfortable and might ruin their day, all so him and his crony subscribers can get off the the “raw nature” of the photos. It’s comical how condescending you have to be to think this isn’t rude.

There's something special about the slightly-off-kilter creative mind of certain artists. It's a little scary too. Like, a little bit too much could go the wrong way. Trevor is clearly on that artist spectrum. You can hear it in his answer of why do you take photos..."Because I have to." I KNEW he was going to say that. You can see it in his eyes. Much respect to him for chasing the art and being polite in the process. Great video, Paulie.

I really want to channel this kind of energy when I’m out on the streets. Supreme confidence that whatever happens is okay. Trevor seems to embrace conflict/interaction which is a great headspace to be in. I’ll get there one day.

I just really enjoyed this video. Great style, well shot, audio on point. And Trevor is such a character. This made me happy

I've gone through the comments and noticed a mix of reactions - supporters, critics, and defenders. Trevor, if you're out there, hello! While some label the work as "low quality", a term I find highly subjective, I see Trevor's photos capturing the essence of the saying: "You are who you are when nobody is looking." The reality is that many online photos are curated illusions - often filtered, staged, or taken during significant life events like birthdays or graduations. And while there's no shortage of picturesque shots taken atop mountains or hills, they don't necessarily leave a lasting imprint on memory. Contrast that with a unique shot of four workers in yellow vests transporting an expensive painting in New York. That single image says so much about society - the stark contrast of how the workers might never earn in a year what that painting sells for in a day. I applaud such bold and evocative photography. It speaks of freedom and authenticity in an era where some spend hours selecting the 'perfect' yet indistinguishable selfie for Instagram. I'm a fan.

I really really enjoyed this video. Trevor embodies so much fun and passion, and yet is so respectful.

I said this when he showed up briefly in a vlog, but Trevor reminds me so much of the people I used to take photos with from my old school. We were a bunch of miserable, private school kids who eventually got thrown out but we had a camera a piece and a desire to do something artistic. He had the same kind of manic artistic energy, knows what he wants to do, and has to do, but couldn't explain why. Also he comes across as an absolute sweetheart. I wish him nothing but the absolute best. Great photos, great dude. Hope everything comes together for him.

Huge love for this explicit episode, which i believe finally lays what concerns us bare, something we rather not face at, to the surface. And Let it known to the world by demonstrating himself in confrontation with troubles that are expected to fear us out. Yet, not Have got no enough spirit or skills for challenges in the street. It's like bringing me down for the next couple weeks if i was in such situation where i first came across those people who were hurt by me taking photos without them knowing. HE'S JUST SO SMOOTH AROUND PEOPLE AND HIS SUBJECTS

Fantastic episode, this is exactly what it feels like to be making street images. I also love how Trevor downplays the importance of gear, it's really not about what gear you are using at all. Also the way he handled that ultra aggressive park ave bro, Trevor has ice in his veins, calm cool and collected. Afterwords "im not gunna let that rattle me" I know aloooooooot of photographers who would, really well handled. Great watch!

The Miley Cyrus song constantly rotating in his brain between images really is what made this endearing for me. Street photography has always felt super invasive, like you’re stealing moments that aren’t yours… but Trevor makes a shared one that is evident in the images he makes.

This was an awesome video, truly enjoyed it!

Love Trevor’s energy haha. He has the right attitude to be a photographer of life.

I like this guy's confidence. That's a very hard thing to have taking stranger's photos. I honestly like the process more than the photos, which makes me like the photos lol.
