"Street photography is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." Thomas Leuthard
About Me My name is Thomas Leuthard and I’m a street photographer from Switzerland. I started to focus on street photography in 2009 when I decided to take all my photos with an 85mm lens in the streets. After some time I realized that this lens was too long for this purpose. The focal length changed, the name remained and I got closer and closer. Today I take some of my street photos with a 50mm from a very short distance. Why I wrote this book? There are several reasons why I wrote this book and why I didn't. I didn't write this book to show off or because it's hip to write a book. I was starting to blog on 500px and realized that people read it and that they wanted more. Some people even mentioned that I should write a book. It's like with a lot of other things. It just started small and got bigger. You cannot start big and say I want to write a bestseller and get famous with it. It's not the way it works. This is just a collection of my thoughts about street photography and some tips on how you should work as a street photographer. Why I give it away for free? I'm very privileged to be a street photographer with the latest gear and the ability to travel around the world. I can afford this through my full time job in Information Technology. Some of my contacts from all over the world don't have this privilege. But these people still want to learn about street photography. They are eager and motivated to get out to the streets with their cameras to make photos. Street photography is a very affordable way of photography and I want to keep it like that. That’s why I publish this book free of charge…
