I have long been a fan of street style photography and photojournalism. The candidness, the spontaneous nature, the realness of it all. It’s one of my favorite art forms, and while I suppose it’s not for everyone, that’s kind of the beauty of it right?
I recently saw a youtube series called “walkie talkies” by a YouTuber named Paulie B. (Link to Channel)
The episode in question was featuring a photographer named C.P. Plunkett. I clicked on it hoping to find something as backgorund noise, and instead found a really entertaining, pretty educational street photo session. At one point he talked about publishing Zines, also mentioning a few of his favorites. I haven’t been able to find them as of yet, but it sent me on an exploration of street photo zines that has been amazing.
Among those he mentions:
“People are Strange” by Troy Holden
“Too Much Freedom” by Angelo Partemi
and works by Alex Webb
On his website, https://straightupstreet.blog/ he has began posting his own Zine series called “Overtime”. I would highly recommend looking at his most recent work, Vol. 2 of the series, called “B**ch, It’s St. Patrick’s Day”
Head on over there and have a look. Amazing stuff.
Side note. I assembled some of my favorite photos I’ve taken in years past in a gallery here called “In the Wild”. Looking at all of these is somewhat inspiring, and I hope to do more of this kind of thing myself soon.
