A global snapshot of street photography now

Stephen McLaren and Matt Stuart assemble more than one hundred contemporary photographers into a wide-ranging survey of street photography as a living, changing practice. The book moves between individual portfolios, extended case studies, and looks at active photographic communities in different cities and regions. Its international scope is central: alongside established names, it foregrounds emerging voices and scenes beyond Western centers, including photographers from India, Thailand, and Brazil. The photographs are framed around public space, everyday people, and urban environments in continual transition, making the volume both a record of current approaches and a map of where street photography is being made today.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Street-photography enthusiasts seeking a broad contemporary overview
  • Photography readers interested in international portfolios and practitioner communities
  • Visual-art readers drawn to images of public life and changing urban spaces

Book overview

A world tour of the very best street photography today, Reclaim the Street showcases work from more than one hundred contemporary photographers, from the established to the emerging, from all corners of the globe.

In Reclaim the Street, Stephen McLaren and Matt Stuart present a multilayered overview of street photography's constantly evolving form. Together, they interweave individual photographer portfolios, in-depth case studies, and surveys of the hot spots where communities of street photographers are thriving today. Great photographic minds don't think alike, nor are two streets identical: follow these photographers as they capture snapshots of people and places perpetually in flux.

Truly diverse in scope, Reclaim the Street pays long overdue attention to flourishing scenes beyond the West, including workby Indian photographer Swarat Ghosh, Thai photographer Jutharat Pinyodoonyachet (aka Poupay), and Brazilian photographer Gustavo Minas. The global, humanistic edge of Reclaim the Street is a love note to photography, as well as to the places and people captured through today's sharpest lenses.
