A vibrant survey of the trends and talents across the globe
fuelling street photography today and a fresh take of what street
photography is and can be. A world tour of the very best street
photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work by more than
100 contemporary photographers, from the established to the
emerging, from all corners of the globe: here is work by Indian
practitioner Swarat Ghosh, Thai photographer Jutharat
Pinyodoonyachet (aka Poupay), and the Brazilian photographer
Gustavo Minas. Truly diverse in scope, it pays long overdue
attention to flourishing scenes throughout the world, interweaving
thirty-four photographer portfolios, in-depth case studies, and
surveys of the geographical hotspots where communities of street
photographers are thriving today. Great photographic minds don’t
think alike, nor are two streets identical: follow these
photographers as they capture snapshots of people and places
perpetually in flux. The global, and ultimately optimistic and
humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street will deepen its readers’
love of photography, as well as leave them inspired by the places
and people captured through today’s sharpest lenses.
Ambitious in scope, democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an
unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have
helped define what street photography is and can be. Magnum
photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered 'modern'
concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. But
their influence is far from historic. A rich seam of street
photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in
the work of recognized masters of street photography - such as
Erwitt, Parr, Gilden and Kalvar - and of those who might not even
consider themselves street photographers; a continued influence
that has not gone unnoticed among the current generation of budding
street photographers and fans. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual
feast, interleaving insightful texts and anecdotes within an
intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-based portfolios,
exploring not only the work of outstanding photographers, but how
common subject matter (places of leisure, marketplaces, travel) and
locations (Paris, New York, Tokyo) have been addressed,
conceptually and practically, across the agency and through the
ages. Magnum Streetwise is an essential addition to the
bibliography of street photography, showcasing hidden gems
alongside many of the genre's most famous images.
Now available in Paperback. Get up close and personal with the
world's best street photographers as they capture the drama of
everyday life at 1/125 of a second. Prowl pavements and back
alleys, encountering comic absurdities, small acts of kindness and
scenes of unexpected beauty; let your eye be caught by a witty
billboard, a woman dressed as an angel, a businessman sprinting
through the crowd: the human carnival is in town and the streets
are alive. Street Photography Now presents 46 contemporary
image-makers noted for their candid depictions of everyday life.
Included are Magnum masters such as Bruce Gilden, Martin Parr and
Alex Webb, along with an international cast of emerging
photographers whose individual biographies illuminate the stories
behind their pictures of New York, Tokyo, Delhi or Dakar. Four
thought-provoking essays and a global conversation between leading
street photographers explore the compelling and often controversial
issues in the genre. A select bibliography and a resource section
for aspiring street photographers complete the book.
