The 'Masters of Photography' series is a new approach to photography how-to. Each volume is dedicated to the work of one key photographer who, through a series of bite-sized lessons and ideas, tells you everything you always wanted to know about their approach to taking photographs. From their influences, ideas and experiences, to tech tips and best shots. The series begins with Joel Meyerowitz , who will teach you, among other essentials: how to use a camera to reclaim the streets as your own, why you need to watch the world always with a sense of possibility, how to set your subjects at ease, and the importance of being playful and of finding a lens that suits your personality. Praise for Joel Meyerowitz's retrospective, Where I Find Myself : "So let me say it plainly: Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself is a compelling, wonderful, deeply pleasing collection of an essential photographer's work. [it] is a necessary book. Necessary because of its size and scope. Necessary because of the way it holds the aesthetic of the artist in the air." LensCulture "More than just a career retrospective, Meyerowitz's book is a personal celebration of photography as an art form." Publishers Weekly "After over half a century of making pictures, Meyerowitz is noted as one of the most influential photographers living today. A new book titled Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself brings together his tremendous archive to create a portrait of not only America during the 20th and early 21st centuries, but also a prolific artist with a lifetime of groundbreaking work." BuzzFeed " Joel Meyerowitz's Where I Find Myself is a pièce de résistance, a masterful feat of publishing that sets the bar as high as it can possibly reach. The photographer's magnum opus opens in the present day, with his most recent body of work and unfolds in reverse chronological order, leading us through a spellbinding life in photography that is simply unparalleled." Feature Shoot "After 40 years Meyerowitz continues to entice and enthrall with a consistency of vision that reshapes subject matter in his own light. If you are a fan of Meyerowitz's work and especially of Cape Light, this lifetime retrospective will be a treasured addition."

Grandmaster of street photography: This is a must.
Die Welt hat er seit vielen Jahrzehnten im Sucher, darunter zahlreiche Ikonen der street photography, als deren wichtigster Protagonist er duchaus betrachtet werden kann. Im Zentrum steht dabei seine Fähigkeit, in einem Bild eine Szene abzubilden durch Komposition verschiedener Elemente, die in der Realität oft in keiner Verbindung zueinander stehen. Seine Fotos sind bewußte Irritationen, erst der Betrachter macht sich daraus sein eigenes Bild, wird in Erstaunen versetzt, oder in Besorgnis, oder in Heiterkeit. Und den bingt Joel Meyerowitz immer mit, wenn er sich bevorzugt an einer Straßenkreuzung positioniert, Anderen zu begegnen. Diese Bereitschaft zur Offenheit gegenüber den Mitmenschen ist für ihn wichtige Voraussetzung auch ohne fotografische Absicht. Hinzu kommt seine Fähigkeit, vorauszuahnen, was sie als Nächstes tun werden, so daß er vorbereitet ist, bis sie zu seinem Bild verschmelzen. Das kann man trainieren.

This is one of the best photo book I bought
It is nice affordable quality, Joel Meyerowitz is one of my favorite photographers, his works are great and inspirational. I highly recommend it, but when I bought it in Amazon packaging of this product is not good at all, the corners are damaged be careful. But this one not that much damage but the other 2 books are damage, i returned it the day it was came to me.

It is more documentary approach than Street Photography. rather academic , read with concentration.
Excellent Book for Street Photography and Master Joel, Hon. FRPS is really very bold to have used 35mm wide angle lens for 55 years to shoot among groups of people. I prefer to use 135mm F2 to shoot at a distance because people are not that friendly nowadays.
