## Resource

In this episode of Eyeshot 50mm, we sit down with Margarita Mavromichalis to talk about street photography, documentary photography, visual education, social media, and why the quietest images are often the ones that matter most. Margarita is the author of Street Weather, her limited-edition book with Eyeshot. From her sharp take on gear culture to the pressure of instant gratification on Instagram, Margarita reflects on what shapes a photographic language today: observation, editing, influence, travel, and the refusal to reduce photography to labels. Her work moves across cities, cultures, and public spaces while staying deeply rooted in human presence, ambiguity, and timing.
