Markus Andersen: Stop Calling It Street Photography | Eyeshot 50mm #45

In this episode of Eyeshot 50mm, Australian photographer Markus Andersen talks about why he rejects the label “street photography,” why analogue still matters, how Instagram changed photographic culture, and why editing needs time. A sharp conversation on photographing life, not categories. We discuss post-production, sequencing, creative parameters, and why complex photography often struggles in today’s fast social media economy. Markus Andersen is also the author of Eyeshot’s limited edition book “The Grey Hours”. He reflects on quiet images, atmosphere, light, human presence, and the difference between shooting for visibility and building long-term work.  Watch the full interview, subscribe to Eyeshot, and pre-order “The Grey Hours” by Markus Andersen by June 30th. ▶ CHAPTERS 00:00 Defining Life Photography 02:59 Transitioning from Freelance to Art 05:04 Lessons from Wedding Photography 08:01 Slow Photography in a Fast Economy 11:13 Analog vs. Digital: A Meditative Approach 14:27 The Impact of Digital Photography 18:25 Signature Style as a Trap 23:20 The Editing Process and Organic Look 27:14 Gear Obsession and Timeless Inspiration 29:50 The Grey Hours: A Meditative Observation 33:49 Overrated Trends and Social Media’s Impact 39:47 Artistry vs. Branding: Advice for Young Photographers 43:30 Returning to the Craft: A Unique Eye ▶ MAIN TOPICS Australian Street & Documentary Photography Street Photography Gears Stylization Digital vs Analogue Photography Social media and photography Photography Books B&W Photography 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   Pre-order “The Grey Hours” by Markus Andersen by June 30th: https://www.eyeshotstreetphotography....  #StreetPhotography #DocumentaryPhotography #B&WPhotography #DigitalPhotography #AnaloguePhotography #AustralianPhotography #PhotographyTips #PhotoInspiration --- ▶ SOCIAL MEDIA: Instagram ⇨   / eyeshot_magazine   Twitter ⇨   / eyeshot_mag   Facebook ⇨   / eyeshotmag   Tiktok ⇨   / eyeshot_photos   ▶ OFFICIAL WEBSITE: https://www.eyeshotstreetphotography.... ▶ CONTACT US [email protected]
