In recent years, photo sharing on social media has rejuvenated street
photography, and its spirit has been reborn. The Street Photographer's
Manual is about the possibilities of street photography as a medium,
and how it can be approached in an accessible way.
The book begins with an overview of street photography, examining its
past, present, and future, and looking at how the genre has changed over
time. The reader is then introduced to twenty of the most acclaimed
international street photographers. This new, revised edition features
six new photographers: Troy Holden, Merel Schoneveld, Melissa Breyer,
David Gaberle, Michelle Groskopf, and Craig Whitehead.
Integrated within the profiles are twenty fully illustrated tutorials,
including how to shoot a face in a crowd and how to train your eye to
observe and capture the unexpected. The Street Photographer's Manual
shows you that being a street photographer is partly about looking for
luck. But luck requires inspiration--and that is where this book is
indispensable.
