Photographing a City You Think You Know with MICHAEL TISCHLER - Episode 296

From Camera Shake Photography Podcast Kersten Luts

New York City has been photographed millions of times — so how do you create something original in a place everyone thinks they’ve already seen?

In this episode of The Camera Shake Podcast, NYC fine art photographer Michael Tischler shares his approach to city photography, long-term creative commitment, and developing a deep visual relationship with one location. We talk about slowing down, revisiting the same streets, responding to light and mood, and building a recognisable body of work instead of chasing trends.

Michael also discusses his transition from dentistry into professional photography and how discipline, patience, and precision shaped both his creative process and photography business.

If you’re an amateur photographer, semi-professional, or someone building a photography career, this conversation will challenge the way you think about familiar locations and creative growth.
