Naff street photography?

It looked reserved to the past, with big names such as Cartier-Bresson or Winogrand who walked quietly, nose in the air and the device in the wind in search of the decisive moment. The Rencontres d'Arles prove otherwise, this summer, with photographers who question and significantly rejuvenate the formula. Ethan Levitas, showing her pictures alongside that of Garry Winogrand, puts his camera on a pole at the surveillance cameras: it draws surprised looks, outraged that highlight the intrusive aspect of photography. Eamonn Doyle, he approaches closer to passers plunged into a crowd that seems hostile, oppressive and stifling. As for the work of Peter Mitchell, color pioneer in England and former official at the Ministry of Local Government and Housing in the UK became a photographer, he transcribes the urban landscape of the Leeds area, interspersing them with images of Mars imagining that the aliens come to town.
