When we talk about street photography, we suppose that it is about photos that we take on streets. But, the truth is that we don’t need a street or even urban environment to consider a photo as a street photograph. The idea is to capture the human conditions in public places (source: wiki)

Recently I found several free e-books and tutorials about street photography. Here, I include a list of twelve very interesting e-books by talented street photographers, which are great examples of this field and a good chance to expand our horizons in photography.

• Creating Impact: The Fundamentals of storytelling in street photography by Marie Laigneau
• Street Photography by Alex Coghe 
• The Street Collective Volume One by Various Photographers 
• Street Photography by Daniel Hoffmann 
• Street Photography for the Purist by Chris Weeks 
• 31 Days to Overcome Your Fear Of Shooting Street Photography by Eric Kim

• Explore Flickr by Thomas Leuthard 
• Collecting Souls by Thomas Leuthard 
• Going Candid by Thomas Leuthard
• Street Faces by Thomas Leuthard
