Shooting the mundane as a daily habit - Gaston Shutters

from The Visual Storytelling Podcast · host Fred Ranger

In this episode, I sit down with Gaston Shutters, a street photographer known for his cinematic black and white images that capture raw, human moments in urban life.We talk about what he’s really looking for when he shoots, how he developed a consistent visual language, and why emotion matters more than perfection. We also explore his transition from creator to founder, and the story behind Owlkrown, a brand built from his own needs as a photographer.This is a conversation about seeing differently, building with intention, and turning a point of view into something tangible.⸻Follow Gaston ShuttersInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gastonshutters/ Discover OwlkrownWebsite: https://www.owlkrown.com/ ⸻Support & Links:Subscribe and leave a rating on your favorite podcast app: it helps more creators discover the show.Prefer video?
