I was shocked on how good it really is .The images and the creative lay out is precise. very informative and is an easy read.Its just so good how each pro tog has there own short bio.Highly recommend.More than value formoney !

Great book great photos and pleasing photos on the eye

This is one of the best books I have owned illustrating contemporary street photography, with many examples of work by numerous photographers along with a comentary by each photographer and even technical details for anyone interested in the, largley, modest cameras used. Every example is inspiring in one way or another

The content of the book is fantastic a real insight to how these modern day “masters” shoot and why they do so. The physical quality how ever is poor. First book I received had corner damage to the cover, that’s amazons fault but the replacement book I’ve just received doesn’t close fully. It sits on the table gaping like a hot crocodile.

Well thought out and put together 6 photos from each of the photographers with synopsis on each of them,Great shots and an even greater read

Excellent …!!

Great photographs, great photographers. A must for every street photography lover.

Excellent read well illustrated.

Lo compré como regalo para una persona a la que le gusta mucho la fotografía y le encantó.

La fotografia fa passi avanti da gigante in tempi lampo.Questo volume è ancora attuale e presenta un interessante lettura della street fotography attraverso l'esperienza di svariati artisti internazionali.Tanti stile e una buona qualità del libro lo rendono una lettura costruttiva ed interessante.Pochi gli scatti realisticamente Wow!, ma molti gli scatti di pregevole fattura ognuno commentato e con dati tecnici a corredo.Utile per aumentare la propria visione e abbracciare nuovi stilemi.

Une approche intéressante (brève biographie du/dela photographe, quelques courtes Q/R), mais surtout un commentaire de l'auteur-e pour chaque photo et les exifs correspondants, plus des liens vers le net à la fin de l'ouvrage. Surtout des photos dans des styles que l'on n'a pas déjà vus dans tous les livres sur la photo de rue. Un vrai plaisir !

I've been on a street photography bend lately, buying many books. Check my profile for other recent reviews to contrast this book with others in the genre.I think this title succeeds on several levels. Compared to other books, there is more original content in this one, mostly because the author sought out photographers other than the "usual suspects" that appear in most every street photography tome out there. This was great for me to not have to wade through photos that I have seen dozens of times before in other books.Another great idea from the author was to give each photographer several images (half a dozen) based on the shooter's perceived expertise. Each chapter starts with "Master of...." and then a narrative to complete that phrase, such as complexity, or atmosphere, or expression. There are sixteen such chapters and while I enjoyed some over others, none were out of place in the book based on the title.For whatever rhetoric people give about gear versus results, a lot of photographers are gearheads, I admit I am. Others like me will like that at the end of each section, the photos are reproduced in a smaller scale with full technical info, camera, lens, exposure, etc. Each photographer also does a short Q&A on their process.The book physically is very nice, hard cover with a ribbon book mark. The photos are reproduced very nicely, both the color and B&W.At the end of the book is a photo of each photographer along with links for their social media.Bottom line, at 10 Dollars off the cover price here at Amazon, this is one of my best photo book purchases in a long time. If you like street photography, get it.

Print quality isn't great and sadly my copy was damaged in delivery. The good thing is camera settings used to take those pictures are shared in this book.
