10 Things Alex Webb Can Teach You....

... about Street Photography..

This unique Magnum photographer who was able to combine color with street photography in a masterful way has actually thought me more then the "ten things" stated in the link below.

Following his coverage of Istanbul not only for the National Geographic but also in the former visits to his beloved town I learned that almost all his pictures were taken with one camera M6 and one lens, 35 Summicron.

Fantastic article. Webb is just an insanely good photographer.

For his Rio project DA Harvey used iPhone, GF1+20/1.7, and D700. The book's amazing.

Anyway it's partly about the gear... mostly about putting yourself where the picture is and then having the chops to extract it.
