In this episode of Street Life, Mark Davidson and John St dive into the world of street photography with our special guest, Eduardo Ortiz, a globe-trotting street photographer currently based in Italy. Eduardo shares his journey from a childhood in Chile to becoming an influential street photographer, highlighting how moving to Europe shaped his artistic vision.
We discuss the challenges of street photography, including the perception of the art form within the broader photography community. Eduardo emphasises the importance of capturing genuine moments and interactions with subjects, contrasting this with the trend of aesthetically pleasing but soulless images that dominate social media. He believes that true street photography should evoke emotion and tell a story, rather than simply conform to popular styles.
Throughout the conversation, we explore the significance of community in photography, the role of social media platforms like Instagram, and the value of alternative spaces for sharing work, such as blogs and YouTube. Eduardo's insights into the creative process and the importance of engaging with subjects on the street provide a fresh perspective on how to approach photography as both an art form and a means of connection.
Join us for this engaging and thought-provoking episode as we delve into the intricacies of street photography, the importance of community, and the journey of a passionate artist navigating the streets of the world.
