017 - Matt Stuart
© Matt Stuart
Matt Stuart shoots people. As one of the UK’s most prolific and highly respected street photographers, he has spent nearly two decades obsessively pounding the streets of London, where he lives, in pursuit of those elusive, magical moments when all the different elements of a good street photo - colour, composition, humour, happenstance - merge together for that split second. At which time Matt is poised and ready to capture the moment - and sometimes anticipate it - with his trusty Leica.
His first book - All That Life Can Afford - containing many of the highlights from these field trips, is published in February 2016 under his own imprint, Plague Press. And you can order a copy direct from his website via the link below.
If you want to jump on the end of year best-of bandwagon (and why wouldn't you?) please do nominate your favourite photobook of 2015, in the comment section below.
