I always wonder if the label Street Photography is just a label for spontaneous unplanned picture taking. I had a discussion with a street photographer which has a aversion against zoom lenses which I do not understand (sometimes you can not as close as you need to use a fixed focal length lens).
Still I would like to win the book ;-)
It's a form of discipline which gives the photographer a closer connection to the subject matter.
Interested in checking out the book!
I'd love to check out this book
I'm not sure if street photography applies to the photos I like to take. I live in a city & most of my photos are shot within the downtown core. My photos don't always include people, but most of the time my photos have people or something man made in the photo. Even when I'm out in the mountains shooting landscapes, I'll include a person in my shot if I can. I would like to learn from other photographers & this sounds like a great book to read through.
Street photography has always been something I've been interested in. This looks like the perfect book to help start shooting on the streets.
I never new that there is a term to describe my photo hobby!
Interested too !
Interested to see if this adds something more to the books I already have on the topic.
As someone that is looking for ideas on how to make the most of the street shooting I do, I'd love to check out this book.
Tho sounds like a fabulous book. I am very intrigued by street photography, but haven't pursued it yet - nerves or lack of knowledge. I have the Rocky Nook guide for my Sony Nex-6 and it has been invaluable. I hope that this new title will be too.
the way of Bresson
Its a genre i'm very much involved in right now...yes it usually is spontaneous but also to get a connection with people in the street and the subject/surrounding matter is still an art. can't wait to check this book out.
Time to up the Street Photography game.
I would love to win the Rocky Nook street photography guide it is subject I would like to do more of, my pictures are on www.lopham.co.uk
I'm always interested in Street Photography books as tools because I feel like the candid nature of it (in most cases) means it's difficult to nail down any "rules" it might have. But seeing more and more examples helps me to understand the style and aesthetic that street photographers use to guide their choices when they're out shooting.
