Huub Keulers, Marcel of the Looij: Street Photography

Huub Keulers, Marcel van der Looij: Straatfotografie

How wonderful would it be if you could turn everyday scenes into compelling images. To hear from other photographers how they approach this. To overcome your hesitation about photographing in the street, and to know what to do if you get caught. To know where you are and aren't allowed to photograph, and what the law says about it.

Getting an answer to these questions is one of the reasons this book was written. It also covers which equipment you need, how to photograph people discreetly, and how to edit your photos. But less obvious aspects are addressed too – such as composition, putting together a portfolio or series, and the effect of colour in your photos.

This book is written in a way that feels as though the authors are sitting right next to you, having a conversation with you. Their methods, tips and tricks are based on years of experience in street photography. They aim to keep things as non-technical as possible, because technique is only a very small part of street photography. What matters is that you develop a feel for situations on the street and start to enjoy it – but above all, that you notice yourself taking better and better photos.

The book is packed with immediately applicable tips and countless inspiring photographs. It can inspire both the beginner and the more experienced street photographer to take their street photography to the next level.
