Purchase options and add-ons

Here are forty-six contemporary image-makers who are noted for their candid depictions of life on the streets and in the subways, at shopping malls and movie theaters, on beaches and in parks.

Included are luminaries such as Magnum members Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr, and Alex Webb (who are still “seeing what is invisible to others,” as Robert Frank put it), along with an international group of emerging photographers whose individual biographies illuminate the stories behind their pictures of New York, Tokyo, Delhi, or Dakar.

Four thought-provoking essays and a global conversation between leading street photographers explore the compelling and often controversial issues in the genre. A select bibliography and a resource section for aspiring street photographers complete the book.

Excellent book, extremely poor packaging
This seems like nitpicking, but one does not expect a new book to arrive like that.These books should be handled as collectibles.Packed with properly sized package, not to free float in a large box

    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

    Simple, if you want to see what street photographers are doing around the world and get inside their thoughts at the same time, then you will enjoy this book. There are plenty of wonderul photos at which to look, and the insights from the photographers themselves makes this book one that you will go through time and again.

    However, if you are looking for a " how-to " book you will be disappointed. It doesn't give f-stops, shutter speeds, etc.

    I was looking for a book with plenty of photos with some insights into the photographers thinkings and this fits the bil for me. That is why I gave it 5 stars... :-)

    A really nice photo album. If you're seeking to learn about street photography, look elsewhere. This is more of a photo album than an educational tool (which is what I was looking for).

    My new favorite book! I must admit I have become quite obsessed with photo books lately. This book is packed with beautiful images from a variety of different photographers. I love that it is newly published and the photos are also newer photos. I think a lot of the books out there are from the early to mid 1900s and we forget that there are so many photographers out there today creating great stuff. Love love love this book and would highly recommend! I can't say enough about this book.

    Beautiful book with thick pages and printing that does justice to the work inside, photos from around the world There is a lot of color in this book, more than I'm used to for street photography. Love black and white and the color is a new way of viewing street shots for me. It's growing on me because it does add another dimension.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Słaba i niewiarygodna książka
    Reviewed in Poland on December 30, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Tekst (dla osób angielskojęzycznych) jest momentami ciekawy. Tyle że książka jest ilustrowana zdjęciami (bogato), ma w założeniu charakter albumowy jednak wybór zdjęć jest dramatycznie słaby i kompletnie niereprezentatywny dla fotografii "street" XXI wieku. Nie wiem skąd autorzy wzięli zdjęcia ale na pewno nie jest to wynik przejrzenia "tysięcy serwisów internetowych". Zdjęcia w zdecydowanej większości są słabe, nie niosą ani "zapachu" ulicy, nie niosą żadnej anegdoty, nie prowokują żadnej refleksji. A szkoda. Wyrzucone pieniadze.
