Valérie Jardin and Gina Williams – Fusion of Street Photography and Fiction
Street Photography Magazine
03/15/24 • 36 min
In Street Photography Magazine, we publish many personal projects and discuss them with photographers on the podcast. In this episode, I had an opportunity to speak with street photographer Valérie and writer (and photographer) Gina Williams about their collaboration on one of the most creative projects I’ve seen in a long time.
Gina, a very talented writer, photographer, and artist, attended one of Valérie’s Paris workshops several years ago where they became friends. Several times over the years, they discussed a collaboration where Gina would create fictional vignettes inspired by subjects in a selection of Valérie’s street photos.
Last year, they made it a reality. Valérie gave Gina access to her archive to choose photos that resonated with her. That in and of itself was a challenge because Valérie has a huge archive of very powerful street images. Some stories came to her instantly while others marinated in the back of her mind, only to be revealed while she was gardening or taking a walk.
The result is an ebook titled Street Stories. It’s a collection of about 50 of Valérie’s street photos. Each photo with its vignette is depicted in a short chapter. The chapter opens with a title, assigned by Gina, on its own page followed by the photo on another with the page on the next page. This format can get very expensive in a printed book but works well in an ebook.
We’ve reproduced one of my favorite stories from the book in the show notes of this episode to give you an example of what Gina and Valérie created. The title is Resistance.
This type of book is best consumed a few chapters at a time rather than in long sittings. I imported my copy of the book into the Kindle app on my iPad. It gives me the ability to move between pages by sliding the screen right to left just like any book on the app. That way, I can glide through the images and titles and stop on whatever catches my attention. Each time, I’ve come away with new inspiration.
Valérie’s strong images combined with Gina’s imagination and mastery of the language is a magical combination.
Street Stories costs only $12.00, and Valérie has offered our listeners a $2.00 discount (so it’s only 10 bucks) by using the code SPM on checkout.
In the meantime, give the podcast a listen. I know you’ll be inspired by their story.
Here’s a sample chapter from Street Stories
RESISTANCE
I can hear their voices and feel their spirits in the wind when I visit this place. The horror. Fear. Desperation. Determination. Bravery.
My father was on this beach in the summer of 1944. A resistance fighter, he guided the Americans to a river crossing, then helped stand guard over German prisoners as they cleared the beach of obstacles and brutal tangles of barbed wire.
He didn’t talk much about it after the war—none of them did. But I can feel their presence here. Every gust of wind feels like youth leaving the body and I want to push it back like a rescue breath, return to them what they lost.
Places like this hold memories forever.
Now, the message of peace is peace itself. Lovers strolling arm-in-arm. Tourists sipping cocktails. Children splashing about and making castles in the once dangerous sand.
No matter the weather, I let it chill me. I never cover my head or button my coat. I want to feel the cold air in my bones until it hurts.
I scoop up a bit of soft sand and let it fall through my fingers, each grain a reminder of someone who sacrificed everything for the freedom I now enjoy.
And then I look to the horizon, watch the storm clouds swirl in the distance, and offer a humble prayer of gratitude and remembrance.

Street Photo Camera Gear with Matt Jerrams
Street Photography Magazine
04/18/20 • 52 min
Matt Jerrams sheltering in place.
I hope you’re are enjoying yourself sheltering in place. Of course not. It has been an interesting time, hasn’t it.
Because we’ve been stuck inside Matt Jerrams and I got together the other day to record an episode indulging our favorite guilty pleasure which is street photography gear. If you are a regular reader of Street Photography Magazine or listener to this podcast you probably know that we don’t talk much about gear.
But that doesn’t mean we don’t like like it. In fact, I’ve found most of us have a bad case of GAS (gear acquisition syndrome). That’s why Matt and I got together to discuss some of our favorites. I know it may seem a little Fuji-centric at the beginning. That’s because we both shoot with it regularly. But Matt is such a gear head, he’s got plenty for everyone.
Have a listen.

About This Episode
Diana Bagnoli
Today we’ll talk more about the eyes on Main Street Festival which takes place every year in Wilson North Carolina. Our friend photojournalist Keith Dannemiller introduced me to this festival not long ago when he shared a project that he started as the artist in residence there back in December Back in December 2017.
Since then I’ve been reading a lot about the festival and I was amazed at what they’re doing.
It’s a large outdoor and indoor photography Festival that features 100 photographs by 100 photographers one 100 days. Some are very prominent like Steve McCurry, Alex Webb, Martin Parr, John Feely and Keith Dannemiller while others are emerging photographers from around the world. I believe they said that 38 different countries are represented.
The festival takes place from April 21 through July 29.
Here’s a link to the festival website so you can check it out for yourself.
If you’re not familiar with Wilson North Carolina, it’s to small town just off of Interstate 95 at Route 264. They also have Amtrak station, which makes it convenient for anyone in the east
The exhibition started by artistic director, Jerome De Perlinghi who teaches at Columbia College in Chicago.
Our guest today is Diana Bagnoli who just finished her time in Wilson as the artist in residence for the month of February.
Diana is a a very creative freelance photographer, photojournalist and environmental portrait photographer who has photographed documentary projects around the world.
She spent the month of February in Wilson as the artist in residence where she was able to photograph the city in the residence of Wilson from our own perspective. Will share some of those photos in the article for this show. I spoke to Diana on February 28 just as she was wrapping up her project and preparing to return home to Italy. I was so glad I was able to to catch up with her before she left.

Podcast Episode #4: New York Street Photographer and Author Harvey Stein
Street Photography Magazine
11/28/15 • 44 min
Harvey Stein has been shooting in the streets of New York for over 40 years. To borrow a quote from George Jones, Harvey was street photography when street photography wasn’t cool.
In the process Harvey became an educator, curator and published author. In fact he’s published five books about street photography, including a trilogy about specific neighborhoods in New York.
The first in the trilogy is Coney Island: 40 Years, 1970-2010 published in 2011, followed two years later by Harlem Street Portraits and rounded out this month by his latest book Briefly Seen which is an up close study of the busy and chaotic streets of New York’s business districts, Midtown and Downtown Manhattan.
Harvey was kind enough to spend time with me to discuss his new book, the trilogy and everything else he’s up to (which is quite a lot) this year. We’ve also included a selection of photos from Briefly Seen which you can see in the gallery below. Click anywhere within the gallery block to view the images individually.

Rick’s passion for visual storytelling began in junior high, dreaming of becoming a TV director. He studied film, worked in the industry, but found his true calling in photography. His filmmaking background has significantly influenced his photography techniques and style. Rick also shares his knowledge as a photography teacher, emphasizing patience and practical examples as essential teaching tools.
Rick shares some insightful tips for aspiring street photographer by encouraging anticipation, patience, and observation. Street photography for Rick is not just about creativity, but also about mindfulness, presence, and learning from mistakes. It’s an embodiment of happiness in his life.

Nicolas St-Pierre – Long and Short Form Photography Projects
Street Photography Magazine
02/26/21 • 54 min
Nicolas St-Pierre may come from a small town in Quebec, but by all accounts, he is a world traveler. Nicolas is a diplomat with the Canadian Foreign Service, which has meant extensive travel around the world and even a few stints living abroad in places like China and Japan.
But as has been the case for many of us, a global pandemic brought international travel to an abrupt halt for Nicolas. To keep his creative juices flowing, Nicolas recently embarked on a project called “The Longest Road” about Bank Street in Ottawa. (See the project in the February 2021 issue.) In our conversation, we discussed long and short form projects as well as Nicolas’ experience publishing his project on Blurb.

Interview with Vincent Comparetto – How He Self-Published a Street Photography Book Series
Street Photography Magazine
11/22/17 • 44 min
For most of us we choose street photography as a creative outlet, while we follow another pursuit to earn a living. The two endeavors are often kept separate.
But our guest today is doing both. He is combining his passion for street photography with a unique way of self-publishing a series of small books of his own work. This gives him full control over the process and end product. Plus generating revenue.
Vincent Comparetto, is a native New Yorker now living in Denver, Colorado. And after speaking with him, I don’t see how he could do it any other way.
Vincent is a filmmaker, an artist, a former graphic designer and most recently a photographer. His true passion in photography is street photography.
But beyond his artistic pursuits it appears that Vincent does everything in a creative fashion, including travel. And as you will see in our conversation with Vincent he is extremely enthusiastic about everything he does. We should all be so lucky.
So please sit back, grab your favorite beverage, and listen to Ashley and I have a very enlightening conversation with Vincent Comparetto.
Some photos from Vincent’s book Follow Focus
Vincent Comparetto is a native New Yorker based in Colorado for the past twenty years. Trained in fine arts, animation, and illustration, he first picked up a camera in college, and has been documenting and exploring cities and subcultures ever since. He enjoys teaching classes in filmmaking, and animation. Outside of photography, and animation he can be found skateboarding, bike riding, and making cubist stencil paintings. His work can be found at http://prometheusproductions.tv, and http://abstractcity.org.
