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. Praise for Joel
Meyerowitz's retrospective, Where I Find Myself: "So let me say it
plainly: Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself is a 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 "More than just a
career retrospective, Meyerowitz's book is a personal celebration
of photography as an art form." Publishers Weekly "After over half
a century of making pictures, Meyerowitz is noted as one of the
most influential photographers living today. A new book titled Joel
Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself brings together his tremendous
archive to create a portrait of not only America during the 20th
and early 21st centuries, but also a prolific artist with a
lifetime of groundbreaking work." BuzzFeed "Joel Meyerowitz's Where
I Find Myself is a pièce de résistance, a masterful feat of
publishing that sets the bar as high as it can possibly reach. The
photographer's magnum opus opens in the present day, with his most
recent body of work and unfolds in reverse chronological order,
leading us through a spellbinding life in photography that is
simply unparalleled." Feature Shoot "After 40 years Meyerowitz
continues to entice and enthrall with a consistency of vision that
reshapes subject matter in his own light. If you are a fan of
Meyerowitz's work and especially of Cape Light, this lifetime
retrospective will be a treasured addition." New York Journal of

Meyerowitz pioneered colour street photography. The book is filled not only with wonderful images but also, in very plain English, he shares tips and trick as to how to achieve such images in one's own photography. Thoroughly enjoying this book.
