Midjourney Street Photographers
William Klein
Last Updated: 27 June 2025William Klein brought anarchy to fashion and street photography alike. His grainy, high-contrast images bristle with energy and attitude—whether he was shooting the streets of New York or the runways of Paris. He broke every rule in the book: motion blur, tilted frames, even shouting at his subjects. The result? Photography that feels loud, alive,...
Saul Leiter
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Saul Leiter’s photographs are like visual poems. With a painter’s sensibility, he captured quiet, dreamlike moments on the streets of New York using reflections, colour washes, and unconventional compositions. Leiter’s work often feels like eavesdropping on a fleeting moment—intimate, mysterious, and full of emotion. He was a pioneer of colour photography long before it was...
Robert Frank
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Robert Frank shattered the conventions of photography with The Americans, a book that redefined what it meant to document a country. His grainy, offbeat images offered a raw and poetic look at American life—full of loneliness, contradiction, and beauty.

Joshua K. Jackson
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Joshua K. Jackson paints with neon. His moody, nighttime images of London are soaked in color, rain, and atmosphere—capturing moments of solitude and stillness in a sleepless city. With a cinematic eye and a love for light and shadow, Jackson creates photos that feel both contemporary and timeless. His work is often less about documentation...
Garry Winogrand
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Garry Winogrand captured America in flux—its optimism, absurdity, and contradictions. Known for his spontaneous, sometimes chaotic street photos, he often shot without even looking through the viewfinder. His images are energetic, unpolished, and bursting with life. Winogrand saw photography as a way of exploring the world, not just recording it. He photographed relentlessly, believing the...
Alan Schaller
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Alan Schaller’s black-and-white images are bold, graphic, and deeply cinematic. He plays with scale, light, and geometry to transform cities into surreal, almost abstract playgrounds. People in his photos often feel small and mysterious—silhouetted figures lost in vast architectural spaces. Schaller’s street photography isn’t just documentary; it’s visual storytelling with a strong sense of mood,...
Joel Meyerowitz
Last Updated: 27 June 2025A pioneer of color photography in a black-and-white era, Joel Meyerowitz brings grace, order, and beauty to the chaos of the street. His early work captured spontaneous, layered scenes of urban life, while his later landscapes and portraits reflect a slower, more meditative eye. Meyerowitz’s approach is observant and lyrical—he has an uncanny ability to...
Daidō Moriyama
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Daidō Moriyama’s black-and-white images feel like wandering through a dream—or a fever. His gritty, high-contrast photos of post-war Tokyo reflect a deep fascination with movement, memory, and the dark undercurrents of city life. He often shoots on the move, embracing blur, grain, and imperfection as part of his aesthetic. For Moriyama, photography is not about...
Bruce Gilden
Last Updated: 27 June 2025Bruce Gilden doesn’t wait for the moment—he takes it. Famous (and infamous) for his aggressive use of flash and close-range street portraits, Gilden confronts the rawness of urban life head-on. His style is confrontational, visceral, and unapologetically bold. Love him or loathe him, his work forces a reaction, capturing character and grit in a way...
Martin Parr
Last Updated: 28 June 2025Martin Parr turns the camera on the ordinary and makes it extraordinary. His bright, almost garish images spotlight the quirks of British life—overstuffed sandwiches, awkward holiday-goers, and loud fashion trends. But underneath the humour lies sharp social commentary on consumerism, class, and globalisation. Parr’s eye for irony, color, and composition has made him one of...
