Traditionally a male-dominated field, street photography is
increasingly becoming the domain of women. This fantastic
collection of images reflects that shift, showcasing 100
contemporary women street photographers working around the world
today, accompanied by personal statements about their work.
Variously joyful, unsettling and unexpected, the photographs
capture a wide range of extraordinary moments. The volume is
curated by Gulnara Samoilova, founder of the Women Street
Photographers project: a website, social media platform and annual
exhibition. Photographer Melissa Breyer's introductory essay
explores how the genre has intersected with gender throughout
history, looking at how cultural changes in gender roles have
overlapped with technological developments in the camera to allow
key historical figures to emerge. Her text is complemented by a
foreword by renowned photojournalist Ami Vitale, whose career as a
war photographer and, later, global travels with National
Geographic have allowed a unique insight into the realities of
working as a woman photographer in different countries. In turns
intimate and candid, the photographs featured in this book offer a
kaleidoscopic glimpse of what happens when women across the world
are behind the camera.
