The 20 most Influential Street Photographers for 2016 according to the Streethunters.net Readers
A Crowdsourced List Of Street Photographers
Two weeks ago we asked for your help to find the 20 most influential contemporary Street Photographers and the feedback we received was just fantastic. We are very grateful for your participation. You recommended many Street Photographers out of which a list of 115 names was finally made. Thank you!
You Recommended And You Voted
A week ago, we asked you dear Readers to do one more thing for us and that was to vote for your most influential Street Photographer out of the list of 115. You voted 20,357 times!
Thank you!
It is understandable that each one of you is influenced by different Street Photographers for different reasons and that is what makes this vote even more interesting. Influences play an important role in the way an artist perceives the world and his/her art, so it is only logical that each one of us has different sources of inspiration, making our perception of what we consider “an influence” unique. What is important is that you all helped us with your vote to find who are the 20 most influential Street Photographers at this time according to you.
One of the Street Photographers on this list, Thomas Leuthard, explained this nicely in his post when he shared the link to the poll on his facebook page. He said:
“Make your personal suggestion, who is the most influential street photographer for you. Not the best, not the most famous, not the coolest, the one who influences you…”
So here they are:

Conclusion
Once again we would like to thank you dear Readers for helping us make the list of the 20 most influential Street Photographers for 2016. Without you this would not have been possible. The participation was fantastic, the shares and likes on Social Media were simply amazing! Your support was wonderful, so many thanks to all of you from me (Spyros), Andrew and Digby!
Remember that if you wish to look through all the 115 names that were submitted you can always visit our previous post “Vote for the 20 most Influential Street Photographers of 2016”
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
ONLY ONE LADY? Godamn.
The readers decide
But how many women were submitted? It’s an issue, for sure.
People submitted their personal favourites. I am sure they didn’t think of being gender specific at the time of submission, but instead they sent in the photographers that influence them on a personal level. So since this is a matter of personal preference, I don’t think that we need to look for any issue or reason behind their choices. When it comes to “personal choice” it is about who each reader prefers. Nothing more.
Hi there! If at all possible, you you be so kind as to update my podcast link. Thank you! 🙂

All done Valerie!
That’s a pretty good round-up.
Great to see Trent Parke from Australia on the list. He has shot some iconic street scenes around Australia, on film, and long before it was the thing to do.
