Markus Andersen: Stop Calling It Street Photography

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” (available until June 30th). He reflects on quiet images, atmosphere, light, human presence, and the difference between shooting for visibility and building long-term work.
