The Art of Street Photography

In The Art of Street Photography, photographers Joshua K. Jackson and Sean Tucker present a more interpretive and artistic approach to street photography.

This book expands the scope of street photography from its more traditional ‘reportage’ roots to uncover your own subjective and creative visual voice. Throughout the book you will get ideas about how to use the public space as your canvas and your camera as a tool for personal expression. This approach invites you to imbue your work with personal meaning and share your perspective on the world as you seek to show the ordinary everyday in extraordinary ways.

Whether you are a seasoned street photographer or just beginning, this book will inflame your curiosity and creativity. Packed with wisdom, encouragement, and striking imagery, The Art of Street Photography will shift your photography from a merely technical exercise to something truly artistic.
