desertcart.com: Street Photography Now: 9780500289075: Howarth, Sophie, McLaren, Stephen: Books Review: Why 5 Stars? - Simple, if you want to see what street photographers are doing around the world and get inside their thoughts at the same time, then you will enjoy this book. There are plenty of wonderul photos at which to look, and the insights from the photographers themselves makes this book one that you will go through time and again. However, if you are looking for a " how-to " book you will be disappointed. It doesn't give f-stops, shutter speeds, etc. I was looking for a book with plenty of photos with some insights into the photographers thinkings and this fits the bil for me. That is why I gave it 5 stars... :-) Review: LOVE IT! - My new favorite book! I must admit I have become quite obsessed with photo books lately. This book is packed with beautiful images from a variety of different photographers. I love that it is newly published and the photos are also newer photos. I think a lot of the books out there are from the early to mid 1900s and we forget that there are so many photographers out there today creating great stuff. Love love love this book and would highly recommend! I can't say enough about this book.

Lovely book! But, you won't learn much.
A really nice photo album. If you're seeking to learn about street photography, look elsewhere. This is more of a photo album than an educational tool (which is what I was looking for).

Lots of color.
Beautiful book with thick pages and printing that does justice to the work inside, photos from around the world There is a lot of color in this book, more than I'm used to for street photography. Love black and white and the color is a new way of viewing street shots for me. It's growing on me because it does add another dimension.

Street Photography almanac
I was thinking to buy this book from the date it appeared on the market. Rather big one, great paper and typography, colors as I look on the original photos, b&w photos are deep and also great. One book contains almost all greates street photographer all over the world with their main photos, bio and quotes. Everybody who like street photography should have this book!!!

good book with great photographers in it.
Source of inspiration for me with some of the greats inside as content. Wish I got the hardcover though. Very flimsy

Excellent
This is the kind of book you will always go back backto for ideas! It presents the most famous photographers' work and thoughts about street photography. It has a great section on Cities which, in my view, is exquisite and timely since most street photography takes place in cities.

Ce livre est très riche et aborde la photographie de rue à partir de feedbacks de nombreux photographes contemporains. Il est très bien documenté (les textes sont en anglais) et les photos très diverses et variées. Donne de très bons conseils sur comment aborder cette discipline.

世界中のストリートフォトグラファーの今が見れる 日本人も出てます 金村修 その他、紹介されている写真家さんたちが、どれくらい有名な写真家なのか、 僕にはちょっとわかりませんが、バラっと見ると面白いです でも、もしかしたら、やっぱりこういう本はガイドになりがちですよね たくさんの写真家が見れるけど、一人数枚の紹介では、どの写真家のことも 結局はわからん、という結果はさけられません
