FAMOUS STREET PHOTOGRAPHERS NOWADAYS

Having commented on the best street photographers, and true artists, of all time, we want to continue discussing the best photographers of today.

Booggie

The first current photographer we want to show you is Boogie and he is considered the current master of urban photography. He was born in Serbia, and that is where he began to photograph the disturbances that his country suffered during 1990.
Beginning to portray these types of situations completely defined his style, and therefore, it is considered to reflect the darker side of humans, since his photographs portray the most fearsome ghettos in the world. He is well-known as one of the great masters of photography and that is why he has managed to work with major brands such as Nike, Gucci, or the HBO streaming platform.

Lee Jeffries

The next photograph we want to highlight is Lee Jeffries. This one stands out for being a self-taught photographer professional who has reflected the most marginalized sectors of society.
His style is characterized above all by reproducing the people´s expressions and their detail, such as the look in the eyes of a homeless person. In this way, emotion and feelings have become the essence of his photography since, in addition to the looks, he always seeks to generate a bond with the people that he reflects in his photographs.

Rui Palha

Rui Palha is the third photographer that we want to focus on and the reason is that he, through his photographs, brings everyone closer to the reality of life. In numerous interviews, Palha has stated that he feels surprised by the movement of people in the street, by their expressions and reactions. And that is why, through his photographs, he wanted to reflect everything that these people transmit to him.

Lee Friedlander

The first photographer we want to highlight, in black and white street photography, is Lee Friedlander, who stands out for having one of the most extensive and complex works. His style is characterized by being carried away by intuition in order to break with the established and thus always offer something new. His black and white photographs instantly managed to reflect the social landscape of cities.

Helen Levitt

Helen Levitt was an American photographer known for her great black and white photography and for taking documentary-style photography. Through her work, she showed the world through a poetic vision, and for this, she portrayed above all women, children, and in general, the life that was lived on the street.
