Nick Hannes: Documentary Photography, Globalization & Consumer Culture

In this episode of The Eyeshot Podcast on Street & Documentary Photography, we speak with Belgian photographer Nick Hannes about his long-term approach to documenting contemporary society. His work explores globalization, consumerism, and the construction of neoliberal cities, focusing on the tension between individuals and the systems they inhabit. Through a combination of research and chance, Hannes builds layered images that balance technical precision with ambiguity. The conversation also introduces "Mirage", his upcoming book with Eyeshot available until March 31st— a reflection on urban illusion, control, and the social and ecological consequences of contemporary development.
