Thomas Leuthard: Street Faces (and) Explore Flickr [PDF]

Street Faces - The Art of Candid Street Portraiture



Ebook, 2012. — 55 p.Thomas Leuthard: "This is my third eBook about street photography. This time I would like to write about my specialty, the candid street portraits. It’s a very direct and controversial way of shooting people in the street. There are a lot of people who like it, but there is even a bigger amount of people who don’t like it. Some people even say it’s not street photography at all. For me, it is what it is. It's a way of documenting the diversity of humanity in an honest, but very straight and uncommon way. Since I don’t ask the person, I take a photo of; most of the observers think it’s very rude. This may be true, but you will not get the desired result, if you do it in a different way. It’s my way and it’s my style. It’s what I like to do and what interests me. It’s not about the communication with the person which I shoot. It’s the directness of an unasked portrait of a stranger in the street."

Ebook, 2013. — 95 p.Thomas Leuthard: "This book was written due to the fact that there are a lot of photographers which don't use Flickr in a most optimized way. It seems also mystical how photos get "Explored" and how you will be successful using Flickr. I would not call myself "The Master of Flickr", but since I have used it for over 3 years now and have learned a lot about this platform. Therefore it was about time to write something about it. There is no such complete document out there and that is yet another reason why I've wrote down my knowledge."
