Review Quotes
"The stand-out book of the Mastering... series from publisher Ammonite, Brian Lloyd Duckett's years of experience and own strong style make this the perfect hybrid of "how-to" and inspiring visual feast. With something approaching the size and feel of a coffee table book, this is actually a considered introduction to street photography which will guide anyone from beginners to enthusiasts turning to the streets.

These also show through in the book's scenario examples which really help get into the quick problem-solving you need on the street."--Digital Camera World on Mastering Street Photography
