A Street Photography Manifesto

About this book

Master street photography, conquer your fears, and find your unique voice.

Street photography can be difficult, frustrating, and sometimes even a bit intimidating. But with the right mindset and tools, it can also be the most rewarding form of visual expression you'll ever experience.

To help you overcome the challenges of street photography, move beyond the cliche shots, and find your authentic voice, it's critical to have the right skills and the right approach—and this book helps you develop those. This isn't your typical how-to book on street photography. It's a manifesto—a call to action for aspiring and seasoned street photographers alike. Street photographer, educator, and author Brian Lloyd Duckett shares all of the wisdom he's earned from years of pounding the pavement with a camera in hand. Throughout the book, Brian challenges you to find your unique voice, confront your fears, and push beyond your comfort zone to create truly compelling images.

Organized into three sections—"Preparing to Shoot, " "Shooting the Streets, " and "After the Shoot"—the book covers everything from gear selection and confidence-building techniques to developing your personal aesthetic and making a name for yourself in the world of street photography

You'll discover:

• How to develop a street photographer's mindset

• The gear that matters—and how to master it

• How to establish routines, make plans, and set goals for your work

• Ten steps to boost your confidence on the streets

• How to find an aesthetic, and develop a voice that works for you

• Common mistakes that street photographers make—and how to avoid them

• Which "rules" to follow, and which ones to break

• How to conceptualize and execute meaningful long-term projects

• Tips for getting your work noticed and building a name for yourself

Additionally, Brian provides a dozen challenges designed to ignite your creativity and push your boundaries. These challenges will keep you motivated and inspired long after you've put the book down. If you're ready to cut through the noise and do the work to create exceptional street photography, this manifesto is your new go-to guide.
