The poll for the most influential street photographers of 2017 is now closed

Introduction

Last week we asked you “Who do you think will be the 20 most Influential Street Photographers in 2017?” and you generously made your suggestions. Thank you very much!

The number of names of the final voting list is 124 Street Photographers including the names added by us, the Streethunters.net Editorial Team. This is so exciting!

Names got filtered out

Before we share the list of names with you, we would like to tell you that we filtered out many names that didn’t meet the criteria of this project. Through this list we want to share names of Street Photographers that are doing things for the community now. So we removed any names of photographers that have passed. Also, we got quite a few names of photographers that even though they shoot Street, they don’t really focus on that genre all that much. We are not looking for photographers that shoot street occasionally, but street photographers that are very influential names in the street photography community.

Meet The Recommended Street Photographers (Poll Is Further Down)

Let’s meet the Street Photographers that all of us recommended and get to know them all through their work. Here at Streethunters.net we are all very excited with all the Street Photographers that you suggested! Thank you for introducing us to so many new names!

So without further ado here are the 124 names of Street Photographers that have been recommended in alphabetical order. Click on each Street Photographer’s name to view their website, flickr, facebook or tumblr:
