Vote for the 20 most influential photographers for 2017!
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:

Glad you enjoy the list Zar!
Where can I vote? I don’s see the voting list at all. I see only the list of names, but without the possibility to mark them, or whatever…. How does it work?
The poll is right here on the page.
Okay the biggest names of all is not on this list and should be where are Garry Winogrand and Robert Frank??? Without these two this list is incomplete!!
Hello Michael, thank you for commenting. Garry Winogrand isn’t included because we are looking for street photographers that are alive. Robert Frank wasn’t nominated by our readers.
Thank you
how many photographers on this list are women?
Quite a few
Yo Spyros, is there a reason why you don’t publish my comment regarding the list, but other comments that came after me? Marius
Yo Marius. Firstly, I don’t have another comment from you on this blog post. I don’t know what happened to your comment, but this is the only one I have. Secondly, I don’t approve comments within the hour. I am out shooting and working so I approve comments when possible, sometimes 1 day later! OMG!!! 😀 Patience is virtue my friend. Positivity and good vibes 🙂
Spyros my man, sorry buddy. Having a rough week here, sorry for pushing so hard. Please take your time man and keep shooting and doin what you love. My comment can wait for weeks then. I just thought that maybe something happened with the form or whatever. Yeah, impatient Germans haha
Stay awesome and keep spreadin the good vibes, love it! 🙂
