Nikita Teryoshin
In this episode of Street Life, Mark and John dive into the world of street photography with special guest Nikita Teryoshin, a Berlin-based documentary and street photographer known for his distinctive style, which he describes as “everyday horror”. He discusses his creative upbringing and how early exposure to music, poetry and other artistic pursuits shaped his path into photography.
Nikita also talks about his acclaimed project Nothing Personal, which earned him a World Press Photo Award in 2020. The work explores the global arms trade, focusing on the surreal atmosphere of arms fairs and the uneasy contrast between their polished, business-like presentation and the violence they ultimately enable.
Throughout the conversation, he reflects on his interest in the relationships between humans, animals and systems of power, as well as the broader societal implications of industries tied to conflict. His work challenges viewers to confront the often-overlooked realities behind political and economic structures, encouraging a deeper consideration of violence, ethics and responsibility in the modern world.
Join us for an engaging discussion that blends humour, personal stories and thought-provoking commentary on the art of street photography and the realities of our contemporary society.
