This article is for your spouse, friend, coworker, mother, father, or stranger you sit next to on the bus during your morning commute. This is for anyone you’ve shown your best street photograph to (or a Robert Frank, Cartier-Bresson, etc. image) and they reply with “I just don’t get it”. If you have someone like this in your life, someone who hasn’t acquired a taste for street photography, you can forward this article to them and help them appreciate your passion a bit more. Or they’ll tell you they read it but really won’t and will secretly hate you for trying to change them…
In this episode of ISO 400, we hear from Nicholas Gervin, a street photographer based in Portland, Maine. Photography for Gervin is a means of recovery as he has suffered a series of injuries, automobile and otherwise, and with his camera, he’s explored the places around him. There’s a raw and visceral quality to Gervin’s work that commands your full attention. Some photography allows you to passively receive it, but Gervin’s doesn’t allow any room for that. There’s an immediacy to it that grabs you.
An upcoming show at Hong Kong's Simon Lee Gallery explores the early production and later developments of Japanese street photographer Daido Moriyama. Through a unique aesthetic technique of taking grimy but captivating urban images in the famous style of are, bure, boke, Moriyama is now recognised as one of the master photographers of the 20th century, and his brutal images of Tokyo’s dark underbelly portray a whole country’s socio-political state.

Havana (or, La Habana), Cuba is a street photographer's dream destination.
The most interesting thing to do in old Havana is simply to walk around, keep your eyes and ears open and just soak in the atmosphere. It's just about the safest place I've ever experienced, so don't be afraid to wander around at will. The people are very kind and lovely..
As US normalise the relationship with Cuba, I am afraid of possibility of changing the texture of Cuba.

Brooding, haunting and striking are just some of the words that first comes to mind when one tries to describe Jason Peterson’s black and white street photography. Producing a stunning feed that has earned him legendary status in Instagram, Peterson’s photographs may very well lure the fictional Dark Knight to come out just to reside in the visual world he has crafted. Capturing images that perfectly fuses human subjects against the vast and scenic city environment has catapulted him to staging an exhibition called “Concrete Jungle” at the iconic Royalton New York early this year. Apart from all the accolades and raves being directed at him, Peterson also became the subject of the latest episode of AdoramaNYC’s Through the Lensdocumentary series which honors photographers teeming with unmatched inventiveness.
Photography books are expensive, really expensive. I've collected dozens and dozens over the years and I kind of feel as though I have tied up a lot of money in books. It's not a bad thing, but I do wonder about the end result. Will I ever recoup my investment? Maybe. Certainly those who snapped up a first edition of "The Decisive Moment" are in luck. But it's always a gamble and always expensive.

....... photographer Reinhard Krause seems to have spied on his subjects. The former photo design student from Dortmund was hanging out at carnival sessions, in clubs and at wave parties.
Authentic, vivid, raw travel photography that captures the essence of a place without sugarcoating it is more difficult to come by than you might think, but Roger Stonehouse has mastered the art.

About you and your journey as a Photographer? My introduction to photography was purely accidental. In the early 1990s the pavement booksellers still used to be around Flora Fountain in Bombay and ...
It could be argued that photography has never been so popular! We all have a camera on us whether is a small compact or a smart phone. But, I’ve recently become aware of some very strong emotive issues that threaten photography as we know it. The recent vote in the European Parliament with reference to street and architectural photography and the commercial use of those images was alarming for me and many other photographers around the world. I was glad to see it fell at the first hurdle, but Im sure it will be back in another guise. ...
Willem Jonkers is not quite your average street photographer. His work is rather unique. Although he chases many of the same subjects as the other few million street photographers out there, he does so with an 8mm fisheye lens. This slight deviation from the normal street photographer setup allows for some interesting work. Although it does also run the risk of becoming a sort of gimmick. Too much of this might indeed be a bad thing. But for now, Jonkers is pumping out some photography that I find engaging and fresh. It's a much needed change in the world of street photography - a world that is quickly becoming polluted with sameness
