Magnum Streetwise - The Ultimate Collection of Street Photography

Featuring more than 300 images from some of the finest names in street photography, this has got to be the ultimate bible for fans of the genre.

Since its foundation in 1947, street photography has been at the cornerstone of Magnum Photos’ guiding principles.

Ambitious in its scope, this is a book which delves deep into the extensive Magnum archive, revealing the images that helped to define the genre itself. What was a modern concept to Henri Cartier-Bresson clearly evolves to the brilliant work of modern practitioners who continue to advocate and promote the notion of candid photography.
