Thanks so much for having me on Paulie. It's such an honor! 🎉

He’s only been doing it for 5 years? That’s insane, he’s one of the best. Great ep.

This guy has the best pictures I’ve seen on a Walkie Talkie. Amazing compositions.

For the people who ask what lens he uses, it is a Sony Sonnar T* FE 35mm f/2.8 ZA

Wonder how he edits his photos. Can tell he definitely has a vision for his pictures and works hard to get that across.

Billy is THE photgrapher I look up to. Absolutely love his photos, super excited for this episode!

edit: shocked to hear he doesn’t do this full time yet!

He is really good. His composition is really good and his pictures have a story. So many NY photographers just take pictures of people walking on the sidewalk and they think it s great street photography. Billy's pics are different. They are relevant and not too crowded.

I love how he got balls to just shoot photos of random people without caring about what they think. My favorite photographer since ever.

To know that this guy has only been shooting for 7years now and the output that he has? That's goals right there. Extremely talented Billy and such an inspiration

If Billy isn’t full time then there’s no hope for the rest of us! He is the best out there as far as we are concerned. 😍😍😍

His work is crazy good, the photos are like in the Magnum class standards.

5:00 for a shot of Billy Dee in the background of Billy Dee’s walkie talkie. What a coincidence

Two things I learned watching today's video: 1) attitude has a lot to do with taking good photos because attitude is part of your creative side. 2) Learn how to read the moment. Anticipate the shot. It won't always be what you want, but doing something is better than not doing anything and wishing you did!

Billy Dinh is truly an exceptional talent and an asset to street photography. It's unbelievable what kind of eye he has and how he suddenly takes advantage of the situation. One of the best photographers of our time.

Easily one of my favorite photographers right now. Billy's ability to capture a moment and a subject that tells a story is incredible. And to hear he's only been shooting for 5 YEARS?? INSANITY..... great episode.

Besides his amazing work and talent, I love how he really engages with his supporters on social media! So great to see him on your channel!

A man carrying Saul Leiter’s legacy great stuff

What a genuine and honest person. I dont like cocky photographers and this guy is the real deal. His photography is very unique and he comes across as a good person.

@JamesPopsysPhoto 3 years ago

This was great again Paulie! Billy’s photos are so brilliantly layered, huge fan of his work!

@jlperez67 3 years ago (edited)

I was impressed by his photography!!! He is really much better than a lot of photographers, seen in this channel, that use Leicas just thinking that the M camera will magically produce better pictures. Yes, the tool is important, but at the end, it is the person behind the lens that still makes the difference. Another great Walkie Talkie. Thanks for sharing!
