Masters of Street Photography book trailer

Street Photography is a vibrant and evolving art form yielding many different and fresh approaches to capturing images of real life. It can be a difficult discipline to define unlike landscape, fashion or portrait photography but whether the images are candid, feature people, use only natural lighting, or do all or none of the above, when we see street photography, we know it. Be it a decisive moment or not, street photographs work best when they capture the emotional and social context of their subject matter. Masters of Street Photography explores the craft and creative secrets of 16 leading lights of the genre and in showcasing the work of some of its best practitioners we’ve set out to offer a snapshot of the world of contemporary photography. This book shows that street photography continues to move beyond the restrictive definitions of the past and it features the work of such notable names as the Bragdon Brothers, Melissa Breyer, Giacomo Brunelli, Paul Burgess, Sally Davies, George Georgiou, Ash Shinya Kawaoto, Jay Maisel, Jesse Marlow, Dimitri Mellos, Rui Palha, Ed Peters, Alan Schaller, Marina Sersale, Alexey Titarenko & Martin U Waltz. Through probing Q&A style interviews and beautifully reproduced images, complete with technical details and revealing captions, the reader is given an insight into the photographers’ working practices – from their career paths and inspirations, to the equipment, techniques, tropes and tricks they employ to create their breathtaking and visionary works. The result is a book that combines visual inspiration with tried and tested ‘street smart’ technical and creative advice from leading professionals, providing everything the aspiring street photographer needs to create their own distinctive urban portfolio and an inspirational photo book to treasure.
