Working on a New York book over the past five years, Belgian photographer Quentin Debriey is captured and followed here in the streets of New York City by filmmaker Waylon Bone. Quentin still rips on the board too! Dude's a lifer and he's got the receipts to prove it.
This piece finds Quentin and Waylon in New York's Lower East Side skatepark, taking flicks of Keith Hardy and other local skaters. Stay tuned as they flash through some of Quentin's older work: Film photographs, prints, of people like Jerry Hsu, Kenny Reed, shot in far off lands.
Check the mediums Quentin uses in here: A point and shoot, a Pentax medium format camera, and even his iPhone. There's a lot to be learned here for up and coming photographers. Quentin has a great story: Getting hurt, getting a job at a photo studio, starting to assist more successful photographers, and now shooting billboards for Calvin Klein.
The two-man crew jumps over to Quentin's current home of Paris, France to continue the profile. The artist agency, the printer, the lab—it's an average day in the life of a professional photographer. Check out Quentin's camera collection he's got in his house! Some serious photo nerd gems in there. And as he says, he never uses the same camera every day. "Using different cameras helped me find new angles."
