A Manhatta State of Mind
"The artist's world is limitless. It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away. It is always on his doorstep."
"I think of myself as an explorer who has spent his life on a long voyage of discovery."
-- Paul Strand
In this episode of Street Shots, Antonio chats with guest co-host Keith Goldstein about the changing world of stock photography and Keith’s book projects. Keith, who’s worked with both Getty Images and Shutterstock, shares his thoughts on their recent merger and how AI is reshaping the stock industry. They talk about the challenges photographers face now, with free image sites and AI-generated content threatening what was once a solid income source for many.
The conversation shifts to Keith’s creative work, including his book Manhatta, inspired by the 1921 film of the same name. Keith reflects on the process of capturing stunning cityscapes from the Empire State Building and the ups and downs of publishing the book. He also teases upcoming projects, including photo books on the boroughs of New York and Broadway. The episode is a mix of industry insights and personal stories, with a good dose of reflection on how photography continues to evolve.
