A small guide to Street Photography PT. 14
At this point of the guide I think is important to propose a list of Street Photographers or Street Photography related that I consider essential to know for any photographer interested to this genre. There is not a particular order, and I am making the list simply using my memory and my resources. Many photographers present on this list not even were/are street photographers in a strict sense but their importance for the genre determined their inclusion.

PLEASE NOTE: In this list I consider only the photographers which work has proved to be important for street photography, depending on evaluations of both a formal and a content nature. I am sure I forgot several photographers, like one that I have on the tip of my tongue and is not coming to me right now so please feel you free to suggest names that I have forgotten.
