The World Atlas of Street Photography Summary

The World Atlas of Street Photography by Jackie Higgins

The World Atlas of Street Photography focuses on the abundance of photography that has been created on street corners around the globe; it includes classic documentary street photography, as well as images of urban landscapes, staged performances, and sculptures. In so doing, this compelling reference book locates the meeting point between street photography and atlas, between artists and their personal understanding of our environment, not via a cartographic bird's-eye view but through a more intimate, human- centred perspective. From New York to New Delhi, Beijing to Brighton, Havana to Hamburg, and Sydney to Seoul, this magnificently illustrated book presents an international cast of more than one hundred established and emerging contemporary photographers.

The World Atlas of Street Photography Reviews

'This book is as useful as it is beautiful, featuring as it does the work of 100 photographers working in 50 different cities around the world and - most importantly - describing their approach' - Advanced Photographer
'A wonderful reference for anyone interested in capturing the street and its people in an imaginative way' - Black & White Photography
'This dizzying global tour is a beautiful revelation, one that reveals street photography to be a global language ... a fantastic examination of a genre that can too often be dismissed as a snapshot pastime ... the most definitive guide to street photography we've seen so far' - Amateur Photographer
