What makes a street photograph worth waiting for? What do you do when the moment happens before you’re ready?
In this episode, New York street photographer Billy Dinh talks with host Jack Devanna about the stories behind his photographs, from the streets of Cairo and Kolkata to a once-in-a-lifetime night in Times Square during the Knicks’ playoff run. Billy shares how he finds and revisits locations, works with light and composition, and balances film photography with digital projects.
They also talk about photographing people respectfully, the influence of cinema and Saul Leiter, the personal projects Billy has been building over the years, and why some street photography moments can’t be recreated. A candid conversation about patience, instinct, and the stories that unfold when you’re out with a camera.
