Alex Webb: La Calle: Photographs from Mexico Hardcover – September 15, 2016

Amazing photography. Excellent book with some photos that have not been published in Webb's other books. Some of the images appear in "The Suffering of Light." I own both books, but "The Suffering of Light" is bigger and higher quality (IMO), so if you're choosing between the two, I'd go with that one. "La Calle" is fantastic though, and some of the images that I have not seen elsewhere are just breathtaking. So get both books if you can. "La Calle" has an interesting build quality to it. The print quality is nice, some images are printed large across two pages so you can really see the details. The gutter is a little annoying at times though. Also, the pages extend all the way to the edge of the cover (pages and cover are flush), creating kind of a "notebook" or "journal" feel to the book. It's an interesting design, but I worry that the edges of the pages will get easily damaged. Overall A+ 5 Star because the images are stunning.

Alex Webb is one of the premier living street photographers of our time. The photographs in this book are "from" Mexico, not "of" Mexico except in a belonging way, and communicate the essence of life in this beautiful country. If you are familiar with Alex Webb and his multi-layered, color-laden photos capturing moments of every day life in his unique style you will not be disappointed. If you are not familiar I highly recommend you purchase this book from a master artist. There are no Photoshop tricks or exaggerated bokeh in this photography. Context for the subjects is never missing and provides the necessary elements to tell the fascinating stories so inherent in all of Alex's work.The photos are beautifully printed and the book and binding are high quality.

This is a beautiful photography book. Mr. Webb's use of light and shadow, as well as his unexpected subject matter, make it quite a treat. I have given this as a gift several times, and it's been universally admired.

My favorite book of 2016 so far. The high water mark of color street photography.

Was hoping for photos that would show the beauty of Mexico, but none there. Disappointed. Wish I had not bought it.

This book will surely become a classic in photography history. Really amazing and impressive.

Un imprescindible de la fotografía. Must have.

excellent street photography
