Hamburger Eyes is a black-and-white photography magazine founded in 2001 by Ray Potes in collaboration with his brother, David, and their friend, Stefan Simikich. Over the past 25 years, Hamburger Eyes has blazed a trail in documentary photo publishing and created a style that is simultaneously raw and profound. With distinct photos that capture vignettes of everyday life, Hamburger Eyes encompasses the pendulum swing of human emotion, showcasing moments ranging from urban distress to childlike wonder.
Ray Potes began shooting photos and making zines at age 14 in San Diego. He has been doing the same ever since. Now based in San Francisco, he runs and operates Hamburger Eyes, a magazine dedicated to black and white photography.
