In the age of gear craze, I must be simply just crazy to balk at everything and shoot with a disposable, right? Well, maybe. Despite the seemingly nonsensical philosophy, I did do just that - moved away from all gear, except for a crate full of Fujifilm QuickSnaps. While this adventure has been trying at times, I truly do believe that these little $5 cameras brought be back from the edge of artistic crisis.
In this video, we explore the importance of body language for making an exceptional photograph on the street. It’s far too easy to fall into the rut of just ...

In this tribute, I’m going to show you a series of my photos I took this year during the Balosso Festival 2015, a two-day public festival featuring performances by street artists at the main squares in my city, Como. Here, you can see a sequence of photos featuring the mute theater and dance performance, Antaryami. A young girl who’s barefoot, perhaps to have an intimate contact with Mother Earth, showed us the gestures of a person who is searching for the meaning of life and for inner peace, reciting a story as a mime in a circular dance without sound and words.

Blake Burton is a photographer and architect living in Atlanta, Georgia. His training as an architect has proved to be highly influential to his photography in the form of appreciating space, composition, and quality of light. Burton’s ongoing project Ponce City Market has offered rare, behind the scenes views of one of the largest adaptive reuse projects in the United States. Spanning nearly five years, the project has been featured online and in print, and in late 2013 he held his first solo exhibit featuring a selection of photos inside the building itself. You can find more of his work on his website.

For some time now I have been an admirer of Jonathan Higbee's photography. It's calm and very zen, especially for street. And, as a good friend of Jonathan's, I know he himself is not very, well, zen all the time. This ability to portray the quiet with a restless mind is intriguing. I think Jonathan's work is more traditionally "street" than much of the noise we see today with this label.
Café Art, which connects homeless people with the wider community, has for the past three years focused its attentions on a London-based calendar.

Photographer Julien Coquentin has been slowly releasing a special series on Behance called “Black Seasons.” At the moment of publishing this piece, he has released his 7th part. It’s an ongoing project documenting parts of his childhood that were very important to him. Julien grew up in France and then travelled to Montreal for a few years. Upon coming back, he tried to reconnect with the things he left behind. Julien was a different man and so he takes these photos not only for himself, but for his daughters and their daughters.
Lens whacking has become quite popular recently. It is a technique where you hold a lens in front of your camera instead of mounting it securely. By doing so you can shift the plane of focus and also let light leak into the gap between the lens and body, creating flare effects. The result is often a dreamlike look which many shooters like.

Directed by Cheryl Dunn, the fascinating documentary "Everybody Street" follows 13 iconic NYC photographers including Martha Cooper, Jill Freedman, Mary Ellen Mark, Jamel Shabazz, Ricky Powell and Boogie. The film explores the allure, danger and pleasure of street photography in an arresting way—all helmed by Dunn's vision and curiosity. Evident is the beauty and joy of capturing un-staged and unrepeatable split-seconds of action, something rather unique to the art of street photography. In light of its availability on Netflix and iTunes, we spoke with Dunn to get further at the film's heart.
