The 'Masters of Photography' series is a new approach to photography
how-to. Each volume is dedicated to the work of one key photographer
who, through a series of bite-sized lessons and ideas, tells you
everything you always wanted to know about their approach to taking
photographs. From their influences, ideas and experiences, to tech tips
and best shots.
The series begins with Joel Meyerowitz, who will teach you, among
other essentials: how to use a camera to reclaim the streets as your
own, why you need to watch the world always with a sense of possibility,
how to set your subjects at ease, and the importance of being playful
and of finding a lens that suits your personality.

compelling, wonderful, deeply pleasing collection of an essential
photographer's work. [it] is a necessary book. Necessary because of
its size and scope. Necessary because of the way it holds the aesthetic
of the artist in the air. LensCulture
