Progress in photography always begins with looking back. Our work is shaped by those who walked the streets before us, capturing moments that would become the visual language of the genre. David Gibson’s Street Photography: A History in 100 Iconic Photographs embraces this idea wholeheartedly.
Part history lesson and part practical guide, this photography book brings together some of the most significant street photographs ever made – from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Garry Winogrand, and Vivian Maier to contemporary voices like Alex Webb – and presents them through an accessible, articulate lens. For anyone serious about understanding street photography, both its past and its potential, this is a book worth holding close.
