How To See: Five Photographers on What Photography Is For

Five Eyeshot photographers on what photography is for now: gear and humility, fame and the unique eye, ethics, survival, and why they keep looking. Best of Q2 brings together the five photographers of this season's Eyeshot release, Margarita Mavromichalis (Street Weather), Markus Andersen (The Grey Hours), Paul Russell (The Secret Lives of Humans), Federico Rios (White Line), and Adriana Zehbrauskas (Alma), in a single thematic conversation about contemporary photography. From street photography and documentary photography to ethics, authorship, visual storytelling, gear obsession, personal work, dignity, survival, memory, and the act of looking, this episode is a slow and human conversation about what still gives a photograph meaning in a world saturated with images. Not five interviews, but one story told through five different eyes.
