Overview

Street Photography Now is the first substantial survey of international street photography since the late 1980s.

For the last twenty years the candid photography of life in public has been flourishing, stimulated by the wide availability of digital cameras, a profusion of photoblogs, and new self-publishing opportunities.

This landmark book presents 52 contemporary image-makers noted for their candid depictions of everyday life in our streets, subways, beaches and parks. Four thought-provoking essays put the work into the wider context of what has gone before, while quotes from the photographers expand and illuminate their work and draw attention to their influences and ways of working.

The hardback edition of Street Photography Now was published in September 2010 and is now out of print. The paperback edition was published in June 2011.
