The ultimate collection of street photography from Magnum Photos. Magnum Streetwise is the definitive collection of street photography from Magnum Photos, and an unparalleled opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the true greats of the genre. An essential addition to the street photography canon, this volume showcases hidden gems alongside many of street photography’s most famous images. Magnum photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered modern concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. A rich seam of street photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in the work of recognized masters of the genre―including Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr, Bruce Gilden, and Richard Kalvar―and in the work of those who may not think of themselves as street photographers, despite their powerful influence on the current generation of budding artists. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual feast, interleaving insightful text and anecdotes within an intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-focused sections. Ambitious in scope and democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have helped define what street photography is―and what it can be. 400 illustrations Review: Photography - This book is full of great pictures, great for photographers and to get inspiration Review: Comprehensive street photography volume, heavily illustrated - A beautiful compendium of the masters of street photography.

Bible for Street Photography
Excellent for Street and Documentary Photographers, but a bit too bulky and heavy for constant reference ,suggest to break into 3 books.

The World According to Magnum.
Some of the greatest photographs ever produced are included in this overview of Magnum. Unfortunately some of the pictures take up two pages and are compromised by the binding. It is a well printed work, especially the color images. If you’re a fan of Magnum or a photography aficionado, grab this book. Despite it’s flaws the strength of the images and the excellent selection of photographs make it worth the price of admission.

It’s OK
I bought this based on another review which described it as inspirational. Not really so much. It represents quite a few street togs, grants them a few pages each, most of which I would not consider to be their best work, but is representational of them. The printing itself is decent, but the loud graphic design makes it feel cheap.

Bra bok om gatufoto
Boken är ett historisk uppslagsverk för den som gillar street photo och särskilt då Magnum fotograferna epok. Fint tryck med många bilder, men också text för varje fotograf. Tillräckligt storlek på boken för att se njuta av bilderna och det går att ta med sig den på t.ex ett café om man vill ha något att läsa (dock ingen pocket). Bra och snabb leverans utan skador.

Pilastro per la street photography
Per gli amanti della street è un libro fondamentale da sfogliare, leggere, studiare le foto, capire cosa e come e perché sono state fatte in quel modo e perché sono state scelte Lo suggerisco come compagno nei viaggi fotografici di strada
