Understanding Street Photography: An Introduction to Shooting Compelling Images on the Street

Street photography enables us to experience the world through a new lens. In Bryan Peterson Street Photography, readers will travel the globe via images from the vibrant streets of Varanasi, India, to the crowded walkways of the Charles Bridge in Prague, and so many other corners of the world. In this masterclass, street photography is defined as images that convey evidence of human interaction, whether that's a striking cityscape, an image of rush-hour foot traffic, the remains of a half-eaten sandwich, or a pedestrian portrait. Along the way, Peterson, a best-selling author and acclaimed international photographer and teacher, will share 120 "mini diaries" the story behind each image; the thought process; the arrangement of the composition; the psychology of the colors; and the lens, aperture, shutter speed, and ISO for readers to replicate his work.

Professional and aspiring photographers alike will learn how to produce posed and candid compositions, capture light and movement, work with shadows, weather, architecture, and hone your craft. Through lessons, exercises, and anecdotes, Peterson shares his best tips for capturing the unpredictable world of urban life in motion.
