Shooting the mundane as a daily habit - Gaston Shutters29 avr. 202600:50:26

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.

War, Minimalism & Meaning: A Conversation with Ukrainian Photographer Serhii Diedushev06 sept. 202500:51:58

In this episode of The Visual Storytelling Podcast, I sit down with Ukrainian photographer Serhii Diedushev to explore his poetic approach to photography, shaped by minimalism, arthouse cinema, and the realities of war in his home country.


I was personally left speechless by how Serhii manages to create such meaningful and timeless art while war rages at his very doorstep.


We talk about:

  • The impact of the war in Ukraine on his documentary work

  • Why storytelling and meaning matter more than technical perfection

  • His passion for film photography, darkroom work, and gear (yes, plenty of Leica talk!)

  • How social media and AI are reshaping photography today

  • Advice for aspiring photographers on slowing down, noticing light, and creating work with depth


Resources & Mentions


Serhii’s images don’t just capture moments — they make you feel and think. This is a conversation about art, resilience, and the power of photography to connect us across borders.
