Street photography is perhaps the best-loved and most widely known
of all photographic genres, with names like Cartier-Bresson,
Brassai and Doisneau familiar even to those with a fleeting
knowledge of the medium. Yet, what exactly is street photography?
From what viewpoint does it present its subjects, and how does this
viewpoint differ from that of documentary photography? Looking
closely at the work of Atget, Kertesz, Bovis, Rene-Jacques,
Brassai, Doisneau, Cartier- Bresson and more, this elegantly
written book, extensively illustrated with both well-known and
neglected works, unpicks Parisian street photography's affinity
with Impressionist art, as well as its complex relationship with
parallel literary trends and authors from Baudelaire to Philippe
Soupault. Clive Scott traces street photography's origins, asking
what really what happened to photography when it first abandoned
the studio, and brings to the fore fascinating questions about the
way the street photographer captures or frames those subjects -
traders, lovers, entertainers - so beloved of the genre.In doing
so, Scott reveals street photography to be a poetic, even
'picturesque' form, looking not to the individual but to the type;
not to the 'reality' of the street but to its 'romance'.
