              Two Free Books on Street Photography

              fsnewslogo Two Free Books on Street Photography

              Photographer Thomas Leuthard just published a second free book about street photography called “Collecting Souls… What Street Photography means to me”. That and “Going Candid… An unorthodox approach to Street Photography” can be downloaded as PDF documents by clicking on their covers below. Truth is I haven’t looked at these books yet… I need you guys to check them out and tell me if they’re worth the time to read or not. :P
               
               
               
               
              cs Two Free Books on Street Photography “Collecting Souls…”
              My second eBook about Street Photography.
              While the first book was about the basics,
              this book is more advanced and contains a
              lot of personal thoughts and ideas. I tried
              to explain what Street Photography means
              to me and how I see it. It contains more
              than 30 short chapters about the different
              areas and topics of street photography. It
              should help beginners to understand the
              process of making story telling photos and
              to improve your personal style as a street
              photographer. Together with the first book
              it will be a good reference for anyone who
              wants to become a street photographer.

                Ì read ‘Going Candid’ last week. Quite a few of the author’s pictures are well worth your time, and compensate for the sometimes slightly not so fluent English. I think the book isn’t too well structured and not a definitive guide to street photography, but it brings up some interesting points and will actually help you get started and set you on the right track. I like how the author thinks gear and 1000 lenses aren’t so important, he actually encourages using just 1 or 2 primes and simple cameras. I don’t like the author’s approach to street photography, that is, sticking his camera in someone’s face without asking, then walking away acting as if nothing happened. I can imagine though it yields better results, but I prefer at least saying thank you or a little smile or nod. I didn’t really dig the part on marketing, since the author considers fame on Flickr to be the main goal. However, in spite of the cons, what are we talking about, it’s a free e-book with great pictures and some helpful advice. Download it :)

                Arrogant. From the misappropriation of the “like a box of chocolates quote on page 2 of ‘Going Candid’ to “I’m not interested in the history of street photography or the old masters”,  Mr. Leuthard babbles on about his “more than two years of experience”.  Don’t waste your bandwidth. The images are unremarkable, the writing is arrogant and not very informative. The author offers nothing new or particularly insightful.

                Proper cool Jide! Great colours. You should try to not remain in your elevated position though and shoot less landscape-style and more street-style, some faces from the front would be cool, maybe less fruits and vegetables ;) It’s hard I know.

                Thank you for providing something much more substancial …oh wait

                Agree! I don’t mind the results, but if I have to use his approach to get these, no thanks. Invasive is the word. If you want to impress me, get similar results while being a socially decent person. He the “bad tourist” everybody hates.
                I like the results though.

                i had problems with the links on the covers… I found the downloads elsewhere:

              • http://www.facebook.com/shannon.wimberly1 Shannon Wimberly

                when you think about it, his approach is probably why he get the results he does…. doesnt give the subject time to pup on their fake face…..
