Aaron Berger: Street Photography, Color, and Everyday Dramas | Eyeshot 50mm Ep. 17

Pre-order “Same Time Tomorrow” by Aaron Berger: https://www.eyeshotstreetphotography.... Street photographer Aaron Berger joins our Eyeshot 50mm format to discuss his journey from Thailand to New York, building a voice in color photography, and capturing what he calls the “micro-dramas” of everyday life. Known for his obsessive daily practice, Berger shares how being self-taught shaped his vision, the influence of Garry Winogrand, and the delicate balance between luck, instinct, and structure in street photography. In this candid interview, Aaron reflects on editing choices, photographing families, diversity without clichés, and his relationship with film vs. digital. As a member of UP Photographers and the author of the upcoming Eyeshot book ”Same Time Tomorrow”, Berger explores how to turn routine into ritual and passersby into protagonists. ▶ CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction & Photography Beginnings 04:56 Geographical Influence & Self-Taught Journey 09:01 Inspirations and Peer Feedback 13:31 Building a Network & Judging Challenges 19:29 Balancing Work and Personal Projects 23:22 Decisive Moments & Post-Production 29:33 Micro Dramas & Protagonists 33:03 Representing Diversity & Childhood Themes 38:01 Favorite Photo & Unique Voice 41:11 Street Photography as Narrative 43:34 Value of Photography Collectives 47:01 The ‘Same Time Tomorrow’ Book 51:36 Showcasing New York City 53:36 Rapid Fire: Mistakes & Essentials 57:55 Rapid Fire: Techniques & Beliefs 01:04:56 ‘This or That’ with Photographers ▶ MAIN TOPICS Street Photography Independent photography books Composition and Decisive Moment Minimal Post-Production Balancing Commissions and Personal Work Photography Collectives and Community“Same Time Tomorrow” Photobook Challenges of Judging Photography Contests Representing Diversity in Street Photography Finding a Unique Visual Voice Watch our 50mm Interview Series:    • Eyeshot 50mm | Street & Documentary Photog...   Watch our Unfiltered Series:    • Eyeshot Unfiltered | Street & Documentary ...   Watch our A World Pictured Series:    • A World Pictured   #StreetPhotography #NYCStreetPhotography #PhotographyCollective #VisualStorytelling #NYCStreetPhotography #SelfTaughtPhotographer #MadeInItalyPublishing --- ▶ SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram ⇨   / eyeshot_magazine   Twitter ⇨   / eyeshot_mag   Facebook ⇨   / eyeshotmag   Tiktok ⇨   / eyeshot_photos   ▶ OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.eyeshotstreetphotography.... ▶ CONTACT US [email protected]
