MATT STUART

¿Cómo se hacen las fotos de calle? Las buenas fotografías captadas en entornos urbanos son sorprendentes, divertidas, paradójicas y parecen cosa de magia. Pero, como la magia de los ilusionistas, en realidad son fruto del trabajo y de la habilidad del artista. En esta obra, ilustrada con muchas de sus mejores fotografias, Matt Stuart nos enseña los principios, las estrategias y los trucos que ha aprendido durante veinte años recorriendo la ciudad a la caza de fotos insolitas y fascinantes. Con un estilo ameno y divertido, Stuart relata sus experiencias y recomienda las mejores practicas a los aspirantes a fotografos o fotografas de calle. Entre ellas, mantener una actitud mental positiva, saber fundirse con el entorno, no temer a las inclemencias del tiempo, tener los ojos y las orejas abiertos, atrapar al espectador, salir de tu zona de confort, ampliar horizontes, trabajar tu propia visiona Y, por supuesto, ¡salir mucho a la calle y llevar siempre la camara!
