100 Great Street Photographs

This celebration of contemporary street photography - in all its edgy, strange, beautiful, haunting, colourful, and humorous glory - brings together the work of a new generation of talented artists. Over the past few decades, the long tradition of street photography has been wholly transformed by the proliferation of digital cameras, the Internet, and smartphones. A new generation of photographers have embraced this modern technology to capture the world around us in a way that is un-staged, of-the- moment, and real. Exploring this rich seam of emergent and exciting street photography, the 100 photographs featured in this book - the majority of which are previously unpublished and taken in the last few years - are presented on double-page spreads along with commentary about the work and its creator. Curated by David Gibson, a street photographer and expert in the genre, this stunning book offers a truly global collection of images. Gibson's insightful introduction gives an insider's overview of street photography, illuminating its historic importance and its renaissance in the digital age. AUTHOR: David Gibson is a street photographer, the author of The Street Photographer's Manual, and a founder of the street photography collective In-Public. He regularly leads street photography workshops in London and other cities across the globe. 100 illustrations
