Don Hudson is a master of street and documentary photography, with over 40 years of experience. He discusses the journey through his iconic images, a raw and authentic look into the heart of the American Midwest in the ’70s and ’80s.

The conversation touches from consent and ethics in photographing strangers on the street, to the differences between analog and digital photography, up to the impact of AI (Artificial Intelligence) on modern photography. We discuss the cultural impact of street photography: how images can bear witness to social changes and influence our perception of reality. Don offers his sincere perspective on how photography, both analog and digital, can serve as a witness of our times and on the photographer’s role in society.
