Hello everyone! Firstly, my apologies for disappearing for three months, but there was a legitimate reason behind it, and I discuss it in this first new episode of 2024.

This is a very special episode of the ISP podcast, because we have the great fortune of chatting with my friend, fellow photographer, and ISP Italia ambassador Luca Parizzi, who is on location in beautiful Porto, Portugal. In today's episode we discuss the challenges of shooting street photography in an environment that causes us to rethink how we approach the street. Luca provides perspective on difficult lighting, finding the right lens focal length, and more. Please follow him on Instagram at @parizziluca and @insidestreetphotographyitalia!

Chimping refers to immediately reviewing your photos on the camera's LCD screen after taking a shot. While it can be tempting to chimp in various photography situations, including street photography, there are several reasons to avoid it, and that is what we discuss in today's episode. Let's talk about it!

Street photographers are often criticized for "exploiting"the homeless, yet we hold an important role in society. In the latest episode of Inside Street Photography with Joe DiMeo, we delve into the powerful and thought-provoking world of street photographers who capture the lives and stories of the homeless.

How can we use our craft to amplify the voices of those who are often unheard and unseen? Our images not only capture the harsh realities of homelessness but also reveal the resilience, strength, and humanity that persist in the face of adversity. I learned about this through my encounter with Maurice, a homless person in Boston.

Whether you're a photography enthusiast, an advocate for social change, or simply curious about the power of art to drive empathy and action, I hope this episode will leave you inspired and moved.

Tune in and embark on a journey that challenges preconceptions, stirs emotions, and reminds us all that we are brothers and sisters in this world.

During a conversation with my friend, fellow photographer, and ISP Italia ambassador Luca Parizzi, (please follow him on Instagram at @parizziluca and @insidestreetphotographyitalia), he highly recommended that I purchase a street photography book called Magnum Streetwise. Well, I ordered it on the spot, and luckily Amazon had it at my doorstep within 24 hours.

I also had the pleasure of chatting with fellow street photographer Peter Mockers of Belgium (please consider following him on Instagram @petermockers). Peter was kind and frank enough to point out that my last episode was too long and that I needed to increase my publishing frequency, and ... I wholeheartedly agree with him!

So here I am - a shorter episode -while also attempting to be more focused and concise - though I think I failed - but I'm aware, and I'm working to fix it! A great big thank you to Peter for feeding me with much-needed input to attempt to make this podcast the premier place for street photography discussions! Let's talk!

Happy day, everyone. My name is Joe DiMeo, and I am the host of the ISP podcast, where we delve deeply into the psyche of the street photographer and what goes on deep inside of us before, during, and after the click. On today's episode, we discuss my experience with some Facebook group trolls, the ugly side of being a street photographer, some ISP project information updates, the growing podcast listener community, and more.

Please consider subscribing to the podcast and sharing it with other fellow street photographers if you like what you hear!

Should there be an interest, I also started a YouTube channel and a Facebook Private Group. They are both in the infancy stages, but with your help, we will be able to elevate this project to one of the best street photography communities on earth.

Happy day friends of the Inside Street Photography podcast! I hope all is well and that you are enjoying your summer. Here is my first video upload on Spotify, and I am very curious to see how it looks and appears online and on the app! If you like what you see, please reach out to me! I hope to do more of this and to conduct some of my podcasts via video, so lots in the works! Stay tuned!

At the beginning of October 2023, I will be heading to Europe with my daughter, and we will be spending three beautiful weeks visiting England, France, and Italy! Blending family with street photography is difficult, and trying to pack in the most minimalist way possible can be challenging as well. Photography is one thing, but once you start introducing video into the mix, then things get a bit more complex. Well, that's what I am here to discuss on today's show, so let's talk!

In today's episode, we discuss our ability to become better versions of ourselves by focusing on two critical components of everything we do in life. If you want to become a better street photographer, among other things and aspirations, making our mental and physical state the epicenter of it all is critical and essential. Let's talk!

I had a wonderful stay in Michigan and want to discuss my experiences there. Let's talk!
