Milad Abedi on photography, authenticity and Instagram culture | #022

Milad Abedi has to be one of the biggest personalities in European menswear. Young, energetic and fiercely opinionated, the Stockholm based photographer has a clearer view than most of where menswear’s at right now, thanks to his frequent travels shooting throughout Europe and beyond for a mixture of magazines and clothing brands. He took some time out to chat to Aleks about his street style photography, his own personal take on what makes for a great photo, and some of the thorny issues that creatives and brands are experiencing with Instagram today. ***HandCut Radio is proud to be sponsored by Thomas Mason, an historic mill that’s been supplying famous designers, shirtmakers and tailors with world class shirting fabrics since 1796.***Show Notes:Milad Abedi | Instagram[13:40] Spencer Hart[22:48] Sergio Guardì of Barbanera[31:17] 18 East[31:22] Antonio Ciongoli[31:29] Glen Allsop[31:46] Fred Castleberry[32:22] The heist of Dog with Lipstick[32:39] Drake’s[33:58] Samanamel on HandCut Radio[34:04] Stòffa on HandCut Radio[34:07] All Blues[40:23] Jamie Ferguson[40:31] The Rake x Omega[40:48] Orazio Luciano---HandCut Radio is produced by Birch, a London based creative agency.
