Product Information

The original, instant classic which set the world afire. The first book to introduce the phenomenon that is the life story and work of Vivian Maier. A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide-from France to New York City to Chicago and dozens of other countries-and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America's post-war golden age. It wasn't until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier's negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work. Please note that all blank pages in the book were chosen as part of the design by the publisher.

  • The book is not the best quality, the photographer is great.

    She is a good photographer - she conveys the atmosphere of her time. That's just the photo is not grayscale, and Sepia - didn't like it. Also, the photos I think are too big, they don't need very high detail, so the book and photo format is a bit more than needed. Yet, frankly, not very good quality print (from China), some of the portraits can be seen particularly, not higher pitch.. So, I've seen much better quality photos in electronic form. Book budget, could cost and cheaper. This seller's price is lower than in other stores.The cover, by the way, is a little different. About the book understood the description of the parameters.

    Fascinating photographs taken throughout the C20th by a talented but unrecognised photographer. Vivian’s reputation is sure to grow. If you like photography, this is something you should see.
