The 20 most Influential Street Photographers for 2017 according to the Streethunters.net Readers
A Crowdsourced List Of Street Photographers
A couple of weeks ago we asked you Who do you think will be the 20 most Influential Street Photographers in 2017? and the feedback we received was just amazing. We really appreciate your participation. You recommended a lot of Street Photographers out of which a list of 124 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 124. You responded by voting 14,495 times! If you have been following this series of Influential Street Photographers you will notice that the votes are a lot less. Well, this time we added an IP restriction in order to avoid multiple votes from the same sources. We hope it worked!
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.
So here they are in the order you voted for them, starting with the Street Photographer that got the most votes:

Ending
Once again we would like to thank you dear Readers for helping us make the list of the 20 most influential Street Photographers for 2017. Without you this would not have been possible. Your participation was great, the shares and likes on Social Media were very much appreciated! 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 124 names that were submitted you can always visit our previous post “Vote for the 20 most influential photographers for 2017!”
Stay Sharp & Keep Shooting!
Congratulations to all of you and thanks to Spyros for setting this up!
I’m especially happy to see Valerie, Oliver and Martin in the list. I know them personally and they deserve it! Use this precious backlink from the blog article to your website to promote your eye, heart and soul! Keep pushin and connecting your inner universe with the outer universe 🙂
As far as Eric Kimbecile is concerned, head over to http://www.vice.one/blog to re-evaluate if you’ll ever vote him on this blog list again. If you ask me, that career is over (2010-2017), 7 nice years, lots of contributions to the community, but by chance I dared to look beyond the curtain of the Eric Kim Show.
It’s over, Eric, and never ever dare to give a workshop in Vice City Amsterdam or my home country Germany again and to be honest, anywhere else either:
You are the biggest bullshitter in the photography that industry I’ve exposed so far…and I used to recommend, respect and even kinda like you. You were my inspiration, but it breaks my heart to see how I was inspired by someone that has so little substance and contradicts himself so much as a teacher.
