McLaren, Stephen: Reclaim the Street

A vibrant survey of the trends and talents fuelling street photography today across the globe and a fresh take of what street photography is and can be. A world tour of the very best street photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work by fifty contemporary photographers, from the established to the emerging, from all corners of the globe; from Paris to Bangkok, and Tokyo to Mexico City. Truly diverse in scope, it pays long overdue attention to flourishing scenes throughout the world, interweaving thirty in-depth photographer portfolios, thematic sections, and surveys of the geographical or virtual hotspots where communities of street photographers are thriving today. Great photographic minds don‘t think alike, nor are two streets identical: follow the diverse Ring Masters, Fire Eaters, Lion Tamers, Jugglers, Tight Rope Walkers and Clowns of this world as they capture snapshots of people and places perpetually in flux. The global, and ultimately optimistic and humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street will deepen its readers‘ love of photography, as well as leave them inspired by the places and people captured through today‘s sharpest lenses.
